Fist Fight in the Parking Lot

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.

2 degrees of Special Reserve

3/4ths of Special Reserve (Josh, Adam, & Kubi) joined Bill on the show for the first time. In segment 1, they talked about embarrassing moments on stage, the band name, a little bit about their writing process, and their song Charlene. Segment 2 opens with little more in depth look at the band’s writing process, or the lack thereof. They talk about how their writing process is very fluid and they embrace the chaos. We then talked about their individual music collections to give us an idea of what musicians and bands have formed them as musicians. This question took us off onto a tangent about age and how it affects our radio listening habits…. which then turns into the band harassing Josh about his shoes. They talk about their upcoming shows which you can check out on their shows page. We also talked about their favorite venues and more… tune in to hear their answers and the rest of the hijinks….
