Doppler Affect – Talkin’ Bout Lightnin’ PARSFB002
Step into the DeLorean, fire up the flux capacitor, and travel back to 1999 on this episode of the Pennsylvania Rock Show Flashback. Host Bill Domiano revisits a track that helped shape the regional rock scene and reconnects with the artist behind it to explore where the journey began—and where it has led. This episode features Doppler Affect and their 1999 track “Talkin’ Bout Lightnin’” from the self-titled album Doppler Affect—which also appeared on the previous release, Time Is an Illusion. Bill sits down with vocalist and guitarist Billy Postle to dig into the origins of the song, the creative process behind it, and what was happening in the band’s world at the time of its release.
The conversation goes deeper into the band’s early days, including stories from Tall Pines Studio, reflections on the local music scene, and Bill and Billy’s shared history working within it. They also discuss the fan-favorite track “Groovin’,” a song that—remarkably—still doesn’t have fully concrete lyrics to this day.
As always, the episode features the full track “Talkin’ Bout Lightnin’,” bringing listeners back to the energy and spirit of the late ’90s independent rock movement while catching up with the artist’s present-day path.
The Pennsylvania Rock Show Flashback revisits standout songs from the show’s history, explores the stories behind them, and reconnects with the artists who continue to shape the music scene today.
