Shrouded in Neglect PARS431

August 10, 2018 Build the Scene All Podcasts, pars 1:06:41 Comments Off on Shrouded in Neglect PARS431

Nate Kepner of Shrouded in Neglect made is first trip to the Pennsylvania Rock Show tonight, and yes ladies and gentleman, that means this is a metal show! We talked about where the band name came from (this was a new one for me) and how the band formed. We talked about a few other metal bands from the scene both early on and later in the show. We moved on to Nate’s influences which include but are not limited to Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake. (Okay maybe he mentions some metal bands and 90’s alternative bands, too). We then talked a little bit about the local band skell and Rock for Life this past weekend. Nate then tells us about his favorite local bands and we talked about our mutal friend at First Angel Media. He tells us about their song Here Goes the Lights off of their sophmore release Kill All Humans, which we played during the break along with Everything’s Fine by skell. Segment 2: At the beginning of the second segment, Nate talks about searching the Pittsburgh bands to get some great new music. We fan girled it a little and talked about the Penguins and Steelers. Once we got back on track, we talked about Nate’s favorite venues to play at and some of the big name bands (and influencers, is that a word?) that he has played with at the Altar Bar. We also talked about embarrassing situations that have happened to him on Altar Bar’s stage. Which Shrouded In Neglect song would Nate want to represent his band if only one of their songs could survive the apocalypse? Here’s a hint, it comes off of their EP, The Haunting. We find out a little bit about 10 year old Nate and the violin… and a bit more about why he became a musician. What band would he want to open for and at what venue? What does he love about the PGH scene and what does he hate? What would we hear if we listened to Shrouded In Neglect backwards?

He also announced that they are hoping to release a second EP of 7 to 8 originals by the end of year. Speaking of EP’s you can purchase the Nothing Ventured EP in full or a la carte on their website. David also mentioned that Tilted Shadows is approaching 1000 likes on their Facebook Page and that the band is throwing around some give away ideas for that milestone. Websites mentioned on the show: Endeavor After, LLC. Sounds of Summer Music Fest Pittsburgh Songwriters Circle Make Music Pittsburgh   Who is Tilted Shadows? Tilted Shadows is a Rock / Alt. Rock band based out the Pittsburgh, PA area. We got our start in late 2014 when singer/song writer/ rhythm guitarist Dave Hipchen started working on original songs with Gregg Shotts on drums, Clayton Hoover on bass and Jeffrey Stouffer on lead guitar. The result was the July 2015 release of our debut album “Nothing Ventured.” Described by our fans as melodic rock with a hint of grunge, the album draws on a wide array of our influences from classic rock to grungey 90’s stuff to metal, and whatever else in between. In August of 2016, Joey Conner replaced Jeffrey on lead guitar.
