A Shotts in the Dar… Shadows.. Tilted Shadows

December 30, 2016 Build the Scene All Podcasts, pars 0:40:51 Comments Off on A Shotts in the Dar… Shadows.. Tilted Shadows

Commiserating with our esteemed host (OK, it’s just Bill) this week is Gregg Shotts of Tilted Shadows and Post Traumatik. He told us that Tilted Shadows has 4 songs written and are hoping to be recording soon. This brings up their writing process. Gregg told us that sometimes David brings the song to everyone, other times Dave shows up at his place and they work on some of it and then take it to the rest of the band. He also mentioned that Joey sometimes brings new ideas/songs to the band. We then talked about trying to unite the tri-state music scenes and his ideas on what could help make that come to a fruition. We talked about how older talent can help the younger talent and really bring recognition to their bands just through networking. It could also help bands get booked in venues that they normally wouldn’t get added to. We talked about the different bands he has played in since coming to Pennsylvania. He loves playing 90’s style rocking songs, nothing too heavy. He likes the local heavy bands, but doesn’t think he has the stamina to play that style. One interesting story that he brings up has to do with Chelsea, Post Traumatik’s singer, seeing Tilted Shadows play for the first time… but you need to listen to hear why… Get your copy of Tilted Shadow’s Album, Nothing Ventured on CD Baby.
