Segment 1 with The Shadow Event If they were going to make a cartoon episode that features the Shadow Event, what cartoon series would it be, and what character would play you? They are going to make a rockumentary about your band, who plays you? What are the side effects of The Shadow Event? If you could play with any band, like you’re at a concert and they invite you up on stage, which band would you want to get up on stage with? What genre is The Shadow Event? I stole the topic from this week’s Loudini Rock and Roll Circus, who are the best supergroups? Build your own supergroup from the Pittsburgh Scene. Segment 2 with Mark and Christina 10 years from now, kids are flipping through their social studies book and they get to the section on the pandemic and The Shadow Event is on the page, why are you there? What’s the best thing about the music scene? Worst thing? Shout out to Durty Art- Bob Freyer If you could take you favorite album and forget it so that you get the euphoria of hearing it for the first time again, which album would it be?

Episode 494 features Christina from The Shadow Event: Some post punk, new wave, groove trip for ya. We’ll take you for a ride with every different song. Powerful, fun, eerie, sexy and cute, The Shadow Event is fronted by Christina Santavicca. She creeps and crawls and is in your face with her stage presence, vocals and keys. Sick guitar work ambushes on in with the makings from Mark DiBello. Followed by the backline, Dave Burek has tasty bass lines and Mike Matjasko bringing in flavorful drums. Originating in the summer of 2016, The Shadow Event is still evolving, but the sound so far will be sure to entice your musical realm. A flavor for all. Segment 1 with Christina from the Shadow Event Where did the name The Shadow Event come from? How would you describe the sound of your music? If you were on tour, and I was tagging along with you, what music would we listen to in between show dates? If I played one of your songs backwards, what would I hear? If you could go back to any year and follow a musician around for a year who would you follow and why? If you could sit down on a bench and talk to any who is in the music field, who would you talk to? About what? You can pick 1 album to erase from your memory and hear it for the first time again, what album would it be? Segment 2 with Christina Worst 90s bands? If you were going to build a band to manage from people in the music scene, who would you put in your band? Can you introduce the rest of the band? What is something that you absolutely love about the music scene and something you wish you could change about it? I see you’re playing KISSBurgh 2 on January 25th, what songs are you covering?

Jason Kozura of Silence Follows and The Crucible Project joins us to talk to us about TCP as the main guest of Episode 471. We also talk to Cate of Suffacate & Chris and Erik of Shattered during a rain delay at last weekend’s Gigaroo. Segment 1 with Jason of The Crucible Project Before we get started with The Crucible Project, tell me what you have been up to with Silence Follows since we last talked. How did The Crucible Project come to fruition, what is it, and why that name? How did the collaborations with First Angel Media, Twist of Fate Productions, and The Metal Edge come about? Segment 2 with Jason of The Crucible Project What upcoming shows does The Crucible Project have for us? How does a band get involved in the shows? What are you goals for the scene as a whole? What is The Crucible Project? Originally forming in 2016 under the “Homegrown Hard Rock Showcase” moniker, The Crucible Project has blossomed into an organization that hosts a recurring monthly concert series, currently based out of The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls, with a focus on Pittsburgh and surrounding area-based rock/metal artists. Along with our partners Twist of Fate Productions, The Metal Edge, and First Angel Media, our goal is to showcase some of the best talent in the rock and metal communities that Pittsburgh has to offer. With an “artist first” approach and attention to detail, we strive to deliver an experience to both artists and fans that is nothing short of memorable. Segment 3 with Cate of Suffacate at Gigaroo How would you describe playing on the Iselin Community Park stage? We discussed the storm, Doppler Affect, alcohol, and her puking out of the backseat of my car for a bit. We talked about what bands should have been playing the rest of the night, but a blown transformer had actually ended the show, unbeknownst to us. The power came back on at approximately 4am. Segment 4 with Chris & Erik of Shattered at Gigaroo I offered the wrestle Chris, who has wrestled for many wrestling companies, and he tells us about it. What does Shattered have coming up? I invited them to do an episode of 3 Questions & a Song, and we learn a little bit about their new song and an upcoming EP. * Special thanks goes out to Tim of Fat Lipp Productions, for not getting to upset at me when I commandeered his sound booth to do a few interviews at Gigaroo.
