What they talked about during the first segment of the show: The origin of the band name. How they decide where to record a Guerilla Folk Video, and how many times they have done it. Describe your costumes (and back story). Ruben tells us about the song, Folk You, which the performed live for the show as well. Topics covered in segment 2: We discuss the bands that Muskie and Ruben Alan David have been in/are in. Ruben does an amazing job talking about Rock for Life. Folk You gets to tell us what they love about the scene and what they would like to change. They tell us something that their fans would be surprised to know about them. Ruben then surprised Bill, but actually having an embarrassing moment on stage to talk about. Muskie and Ruben tell us about their favorite bands from the scene, and their love for the original music in our area. What happens when you play Folk You backwards? What song that you’ve been involved writing, would you want to survive history? We also talked about doing one of their Guerilla Folk Videos: Video of Folk You performing on the Leechburg Walking Bridge after the interview

Come join Molasses Barge and Fist Fight in the Parking Lot as they release their next CDs with blackseed records. Both bands will be featuring songs live from their records and have CDs available for sale, and they want to share it with YOU, Pittsburgh! July 28, 2017 Doors at 9, Show at 10PM $5 In our first segment, Bill is visited by Moe, Larry, and Curly… errr Jason, Johnny Metal, and RuDawg of Fist Fight in the Parking Lot. 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.

Kill the Drama of the Basement Recordings

March 4, 2016 Build the Scene All Podcasts, pars Comments Off on Kill the Drama of the Basement Recordings

  Bill joins Kill the Drama in their practice studio for some chat and live music. Segment 1: Bill talks to them about their current recording process, which they mention is very different than how they used to do it. During segment one, they play their song The Frail and the Fray (Live) for us! They are planning on recording in volume first, and then cut a few songs, b side a few songs, and go from there. That transitioned into a discussion about digital vs cd vs vinyl, and we even talk about 8 tracks. Bill then asked the band to discuss the state of the local scene and how it has morphed over the years. The first segment ended with them playing The Burning Streets (live) in their studio. Segment 2: Opens with with a live, brand new track from Kill the Drama entitled Insurresurrection. They then discussed the logistics of the Stone Temple Pilots’ holding “open” auditions on the internet to replace their lead singer. Which changed the focus of the conversation to how Brian joined Kill the Drama and a bit of the history of the band and bands from the AK Valley. I also gave the band a chance to talk about the support that our local radio stations provide for the local scene. This segment ends with Kill the Drama playing another brand new song live for us, Caught in the Shadows. Segment 3: The band talks about when Brian tried out for the band and how they got the name Kill the Drama. They also talk about being the judges favorite band in the Graffiti Rock Challenge, but not actually winning the competition. They also explain why KTD decided to return to the stage. And since the conversation had wavered into the world of the major rock scene, we discussed Motley Crue calling it quits and Steven Tyler’s crossover to country music. We end the segment with one more brand new track played live by KTD, Ophelia Mary Grace.
