A Wright of Passage

Lots of music and information for you in this episode. I took a moment to talk about the passing of Cliff from KGB. He was an integral part of our scene and he will be missed. I also did a segment that I titled A Wright of Passage. In this segment I featured songs from Step 11, (kaj), and skell. the link between these songs is that Walter Wright sang lead vocals on all of them. You can hear the progression of his vocals and see how he got to where he is now with what I consider to be the best metal band in the Pittsburgh area. You can read a cd review for their “Everything’s Fine” EP on our other site AK Music Scene. They are currently looking for a drummer to finalize their lineup. You can e-mail Mikey Palone if you think you have what it takes. We featured tracks from: Sofachrome, Tony Marinacci, Camp Element, Silk 9, Homicide Black, Step 11, (kaj), skell, KGB, Dethlehem, Divine Tragedy We featured the following upcoming concerts: May 13: Rock for Life: Spring Fling – Leechburg Moose – $5 Members/$10 Qualified Guests Big house Pete MonaLisa Smile a common crown Heidi & The Hellcats June 10: Feel the Fire Fest 5 – $20 preshow/$25 at the gates – 1314 Hebron Rd SE, Heath, OH 43056-1040 Saliva Xfactor1 Scars like Mine Waragon one in the Chamber After the fall Managed Chaos Iron Head Inc Corrosive Vengence Ribcage Infidel July 7 & 8: Gigaroo 2017 – $20 – Iselin Ballfield Friday July 7 Homicide Black Zone 8 East End Kill the Drama Shattered a commmon crown JL Cook Acoustic Saturday July 8 After the Fall Silk 9 The Hellfire Club Flashback Mojo Filter Here and Now Transcendence Post Traumatik OverMyDeadBody Trigger Happy SuffaCate
