Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the September 25 edition of Q94's weekly local music program, "The Backyard Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WBRX 94.3 and WBXQ 94.7.
Revving Harleys and driving rock’n’roll were key ingredients in this week’s edition of the “Backyard Rocker,” thanks to our guests this week, Philipsburg-Osceola-based rockers Wide Open (www.wideopenrocks.com). We heard tracks from Wide Open’s rip-roaring debut album, “First Ride,” and the band members offered their thoughts on the band and the music. Several lucky listeners won copies of the album. Also, since two of Wide Open’s members are guitarist/singer Vincent Youngbauer and singer/guitarist Matt Socoski, we reminisced both musicians’ former bands, Lyssa and Slammer, with songs from each as “Local Music Flashbacks.”
Along the way, we checked on Local Music News, we reviewed Kairos’ new CD, “Rethink: Reshape” in “The Professor’s CD Corner," and we debuted new music from Fayted and Icarus Witch.
Here is this week’s playlist:
HOUR ONE:
TONY MOLLICK PROJECT – “Sweet Sister”
FAYTED – “Keep Smilin’”
WIDE OPEN – “Revin’ It Up”
ROADKILL – “RK2K2”
WIDE OPEN – “Polish My Chrome”
LYSSA – “Under Attack” (1987, Local Music Flashback)
WIDE OPEN – “Eat My Dust”
ICARUS WITCH – “Storming the Castle”
HOUR TWO:
THE FLAME SKY – “Only In Your Head”
WIDE OPEN – “Layin’ It Down”
KAIROS – “Futility”
WIDE OPEN – “Killing Time”
SLAMMER – “Locked Up” (1993, Local Music Flashback)
WIDE OPEN – “Casting Shadows”
WIDE OPEN – “Twist the Grip”
Next Sunday night, our guest will be Dave Buzard. Formerly the guitarist for Ask A Stranger in the early 90’s, Dave these days is the mastermind behind his studio creation, Project Twelve(34). We’ll hear tracks from the just-completed new Project Twelve(34) album, “Before Twilight,” and get Dave’s thoughts on his latest musical endeavors. Dave Buzard joins us in the studio, next Sunday night on the “Backyard Rocker!”
