Chrystyna Marie 3QS046

Chrystyna Marie Tackles 3 Questions What do you think the difference is between the music scene in Toronto and Pittsburgh? If there was a catastrophic event and most of the human race is wiped off the face of the earth, which one of your songs would survive and help repopulate the earth? What was your inspiration behind your most recent album? asked by Scarlet on Episode 45. BONUS  24:42 Can you tell us about the moment that you knew that you had to be an artist. About Chrystyna Marie Genre: Blues/Pop/Rock Band Location: Pittsburgh, PA Where to find them: Originally hailing from Toronto, Canada, Chrystyna Marie spills her soul, with a mix of grungy blues and a hint of pop. About the Song, Loaded Gun Basically the song is about an ex “fiance” who was a drummer…he lied to me about having kicked his Coke habit cause I’m not about that life. I found he was hiding it and a functioning addict like he couldn’t live a good day without bumps in the bathroom every now and then. He got “depressed” and lost after being on tour all summer. We moved to the woods in a house we fixed up between tour dates. He threatened to use his gun one day. And i was like oh hell nah. One day he went to the store which was 40min away from the house and asked me to come I said I’ll stay behind and clean the house. I pretty much have myself 30-40min to pack whatever i could into my car and peace the F out without a word. Ninja bounced. I had to be strategic on not being seen driving through town to get back to los Angeles . We lived in Washington state. I called my bff and said can I come stay and she’s like the doors open.

If I went on a road trip with FUBAR, what songs and bands would be included the soundtrack for our trip? What one band would you go back in time and observe and why?

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….
