If an apocalyptic event happens, which one of your songs should survive? If you could sit on a bench for an hour and talk to any musician that has ever been alive, who and why?

Can you tell me about the moment that you knew that you wanted to be in a band? If we were to play your music backwards, what would we hear? What band would you like to go back in time and watch for a year to learn from? What band would you want your first assignment to be when writing for Rolling Stone?

On this episode of the Pennsylvania Rock Show, Jake Parks from Terachain Sky joins us for the first time. We discussed their band name PanTERA-alice in CHAINs-lynyrd SKYnyrd. I spent some time letting him know just how awesome they are live. They played the Pennsylvania Rock Show 12 last month. That was the first time that I saw them live. It WON’T be the last. We spent some time learning about the band and how they have learned what it takes to keep people at the show. Their goal… to blow you away. We talked about their recording process and learned that they are currently working on a 3rd disc that they hope to release it in February of 2017. We also discussed Utah and the Grassroots Show. I also brought up the question that we discussed on the 2nd episode of the Podcast your Scene podcast, what are you feelings on pay to play. Along those lines, I got him to drop some names of some touring bands that they have opened for: Apocalypse Blues Revue & Charm City Devils. At the end of this podcast, John “The American Hilljack” Lane joined us in the call and you can hear that over at his website on Episode 9 of The American Hilljack Files. I try to never split my podcast episodes into 2 episodes, but this one just couldn’t be helped. John took over and shined so it gets to be part of his show. Coincidentally, it is my debut on the American Hilljack files.

A Stark Reality

January 1, 2016 Build the Scene All Podcasts, pars 0:41:32 Comments Off on A Stark Reality

Leeja Stark Band What do Panic at the Disco & Queen have in common? Leeja Stark. Leeja joins us this month for her first visit on the show. We discuss the local scene including bands like Amber Alexis, skell, The Bloody Seamen, & Dethelehem. She talks about the Women of Metal show that the band played with Beyond Eden, Mind Maze, & A Sound of thunder. Leeja spoke about their work with producer Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Otep, Stolen Babies, Emilie Autumn etc) on their latest EP and how they are currently working on writing a new LP with him. She speaks on how the band has handled song writing in the past and how it progressed over the years. Leeja admits not knowing who Alice Cooper was when being told that her band’s song Welcome to the Night and her theatrics that go along with it in the video reminded them of his song Welcome to My Nightmare. @skellmetal @TheBloodySeamen @dethlehem @beyondeden10 @MindMazeband @asotband @iAmUlrichWild Biography Leeja Stark is an American Experimental Rock band from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The band finds influences in rock legends (David Bowie, Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, Freddie Mercury, King Crimson, Stevie Nicks, etc). Their sound has progressed from electronic rock to electronic progressive rock over the last 2 EP’s becoming more technical but remaining true to the lyrics and melody of each song. The goal of this band is to write great music. If it’s not about the music why play in a band? In early 2012, Leeja Stark released a concept EP called House of Eyes about a girl caught in the throes of the demon world. It begins with the song Supernatural in which an incantation to release the demon from the body is recited and ends with a chilling ballad Impossible Things that leaves the story to be continued as we find out she is with child. Also in 2012 they released a single, Symptoms of Insanity. The song is a duet featuring screamer Bret Stark. The video received almost 200,000 views in its first 24 hours on Youtube. In another song-writing collaboration, Leeja has co-written the song Charming Arms with producer/musician Christopher Lee Simmonds (Filter, Thought Industry, Good Charlotte, Marcy’s Playground). The message about the agony of drug abuse is written in Simmonds’ music as well as the lyrics. Charming Arms has been released in three forms; the original, a Dis-Honesty mix with an electronic dubstep sound, and the raw Honesty mix highlighting Leeja’s vocals. Most recently (2014-2015) LS has been working with producer Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Otep, Stolen Babies, Emilie Autumn etc) on their EP Cosmic Queen which was released April 9th 2015. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/cosmic-queen-ep/id984380388 They also produced a vaudeville-esque music video for the song Welcome to the Night. On the horizon for the band is a 3rd EP, as well as numerous shows throughout the north east for the remainder of 2015. www.leejastark.com www.facebook.com/leejastark www.reverbnation.com/leejastark www.youtube.com/leejastark https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/house-of-eyes-ep/id771371921 Give us some Feedback: Subscribe, Review, & Rate us on iTunes Subscribe, Review, & Rate us on MixCloud E-mail: feedback@buildthescene.com Call Us: 724-568-7018 Join Our Mailing List Submit Your Own Music: Submission Form Book your Band: Booking Form Get our App: iPhone
