Caleb Straus of Emzy Enzy  First Angel Media joins the show to take his shot at 3 Questions (or so) and a song! Being from Austin Texas, how did you come to find First Angel Media? I see that you release music as both Emzy Enzy (as Leej, Legion) and also as Caleb Straus, how to you determine what song gets released as whom? If an apocalyptic event happened and only one of your songs survives to help re-populate the Earth, which song would it be and why? If Emzy Enzy could open for any band in the history of time, who would you open for, at what location, and why that band? What made you choose that heavy direction with your music? What made you stick with it over the years instead of picking a different direction? asked by Doug Carnahan on episode 62 About Emzy Enzy Genre: Experimental Metal Location: Austin, TX, USA Emzy Enzy is an experimental industrial metal band currently based in Austin TX, led by vocalist Caleb Straus (LEEJUN), and featuring Christopher Burch (KNUMERIC) on guitar and synth, and William Douglas (SPLATTERBRAIN) on bass. The band also incorporates elements of lounge, trip hop, trap metal, and black and death metal into their expansive and experimental sound. About the Song, Narcissistic Cyborg Narcissistic Cyborg is track one of the upcoming album, “KREM”, based on a fictional planet of the band’s making, “KREM” marks a departure from Emzy Enzy’s early experimental/industrial sound (which are still present but in the background), to make way for a far more present death metal and hardcore influence. Narcissistic Cyborg is track one on KREM, and the recent single “My Kindness” feat. Seethe is Track 2. We are drip releasing two albums simultaneously, “KREM” and “Beelzebourbon” which is a huge detour. Will discuss more details on the show. 🙂 Every month, you’ll get a new song from each album.

Sixx joins Bill to talk about both the PGH & NOLA music scenes as well as his musical history. Segment 1 with Keith Hawkins How did you get hooked up with Lou and the Loudini Rock and Roll Circus. What bands did you play in, in Pittsburgh? Keith compares the drummers in the New Orleans and Pittsburgh scenes. Do you have a steady gig in NOLA, or do you fill in a lot? What is your current favorite whiskey? – asked by Jeff Yeckel If you could follow any band around for a year to learn from them, which band would you follow? If 10 years from now, kids are flipping through their social studies books and they find a you in the book, why is Keith Hawkins in the book? What would your dream gig be? If you were in a crowd and being pulled up on stage, who would be your “Dave Grohl”? We talked about Black Laurel‘s album, Tales from the Motherland that Keith recorded on. Segment 2 with Keith How do the 2 scenes compare? (Pittsburgh and New Orleans) What has been the oddest place that you’ve ever played in either scene? We talked a little bit about Chris “Thunderwolf” Dodson’s Wolf’s Customs company. If you could sit on a bench for a hour and talk to anyone from the history of music and ask them only 1 question, how would that go down? If you were going to build a band to manage based on both the local scenes that you’ve been a part of, who would you put in the band, what band are they currently in, and what genre would they play? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8kBINx0RKY

Chris Thunderwolf Dodson joins Bill for Episode 510 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show. They discuss his business Wolf’s Customs. You can see an example of his holoflash finish on the guitar to the right. Segment 1 He talks about his first time he did a holoflash design on a drum kit for Keith Hawkins formerly of the Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast. We learn that they do custom paint jobs as well. We did have a bit of trouble using the internet to do this podcast, so we went a bit old school and used an iRig, cell phone, and a mixer to record this episode. Segment 2 with Wolf’s Customs If you had an hour to sit on a bench with anyone in the history of the world, and ask them anything, who would you sit with and what would you ask them? (He is a Steelers fan!) If I was flipping through my Social Studies book, and I found a page in it about Chris Thunderwolf Dodson, what would that section of the book be about? If you could go back in time and follow any 1 band around for a full year, which band would you choose and why? We talk a bit about genres at this point… If you were in the movie Almost Famous, what band do you wish you were doing your first article on? If you could take an album that you love and forget about so that you can listen to again for the very first time, what album would you want to do that with? Tell us about how we can find you online. Has Lou sent his guitar to you yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf2ZO9kE3W8

We start out talking about the writing process and how circumstances allowed them to sit on the songs and go back to them later, we smoothly transitioned into the history of the band (yeah smoothly haha) and talking about about festivals and competitions… throughout the whole interview you get bits and pieces about their writing  & recording processes. I asked about the title of the album, and got a lot of different answers (haha). They were much more forthcoming about where the band name came from. Segment 2 starts out with a conversation about social media and websites and then we move on to learning a bit more about the pieces that make up FFITPL. Sammy or Dave? It was around this time that we learned that Chris embarrasses Fist Fight in the Parking Lot. We move on to name every band we could think of and even talk about Overlord Brom (Dethlehem) and his helmet. Somehow we even included Orko… we then move onto having them create their own super group from local musicians. and well… ya… listen to the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KecIdlEAKhU Bob Price was the member of Dog Day Sunrise that I couldn’t remember during the show, tattoos at Inferno Studios.
