Let’s talk about the movie Rock Star, you’ve been tapped to replace the lead singer of a successful band after have been in a tribute band, which band would I see you front? Sticking with the movie theme, 10 years from now, they decide to make a movie about Mr. Lisp and their rise to stardom. Who would play you in the biopic? Last movie related question, like the movie Almost Famous, a writer has been assigned to accompany you on tour. What would be written about Mr. Lisp after the tour ended? If one of the bands from the scene here in the Pittsburgh scene wants to come to the Philadelphia scene to play a show, which venues should they check out and why? What is the one best thing about the scene in Philadelphia and the one worst thing that you wished you could change? You can pick 1 album that you’ve already heard to erase the memories of having heard it, and go back to listen to it like it’s the first time again. What would it be? Tell me about your song, Birch Boys. Segment 2 with Mr. Lisp If you were going to create a supergroup from your scene to manage, who would be in it and why? Tell me about an embarrassing moment you had on stage, or one that your band mates may have had. Who would you say has supported you the most as a musician? Can you tell me about the moment that you decided you were going to play music? What is something that your fans would be shocked to find out about you? Where can my listeners get a copy of your music, and find you online? If there was an apocalyptic event and all of your music except for one song was destroyed, which song would you want to survive and help “recreate” the human race? Do you have any upcoming shows that you’d like to promote? https://www.facebook.com/MrLisp/ https://mrlispband.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/mrlispphilly/
