Dave Molter joins Bill to chat about his newest release, Mid-Century Man, on episode 469. An accomplished veteran of the Pittsburgh, Midwest and East Coast music scenes since 1965, Dave counts The Beatles as his primary influence. Dave’s bands have released singles on Buddah Records (“I Hear You Knockin’” by BlueByrd, 1970) and Western World Records (“Boogie, Boogie, Boogie” by Pyewacket, 1973). His bands have opened for The Rascals; Chicago; The Allman Brothers Band; Bloodrock; Night Ranger and others. He continues to play with his own band, Retrograyed, and the Danny Gochnour Band as well as subbing with Bill Toms and Hard Rain. In the recent past he has played with Johnny Angel & the Halos, the Paul Martino All-Star Band, Mojo Jojo (a British Invasion-era cover band) and Johnny Angel’s All Star Jam Band. Segment 1 with Dave Molter I want to get this out of the way right off the bat, not only are you a musician, but you’re an award winning columnist. Have the 2 things ever clashed? If we were going to hang out, and you were in charge of the music, what would we listen to? How did you get started as a musician, and who has been your biggest supporter over the years? I teach social studies, if I were to find you in one of my textbooks, what would the topic be that I’d be teaching? If you could go back in time and follow one band around for a year, who would you follow? Tell me about your song, Mid-Century Man. Segment 2 Having been a musician for a number of years, what advice would you give to someone that wanted to start a band in today’s environment? How has the invention of the internet changed the music business? Who are the unsigned bands that you think we should check out? What is something that your fans would be surprised to learn about you? If you could live the movie Rock Star, which band would you front? Where can we get a copy of your music and do you have any upcoming shows that you’d like to mention?

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?
