Negan – Mike Davis PARS486

Mike Davis from Negan joins Bill on episode 486 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show. Negan hails from just outside Altoona, PA or Parts Unknown! They are a 90s/Modern rock act. Segment 1 Where did the name, Negan, come from? If you had to pick someone to play you in a TV series about Negan, who would play you? If there was an apocalyptic event, and almost all the humans were wiped off of the Earth… and only one Negan song survives and plays a part in the repopulation of Earth, which one of your songs should survive? Why did you come to PA from Texas? We talk a bit about the Professor, Jim Price. Has Jim Price sketched you? We discuss First Angel Media and their Templars venue; including the 9 Stitch Method album release held there, as well as, the Crucible Project. If you could go back in time and follow one band to learn from, which year would you go to and who would you follow around? Mike tells us about their song, Obsolete. Segment 2 with Negan If you were going to manage a band for the local scene, who would you put in the band? What band are they currently in, and why would you choose them? If you could pick one thing about the music scene that you absolutely hate and change it, what would it be? Something you love? What’s coming up for Negan? What shows are scheduled? Where can my listeners find your band online?
