Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the July 22 edition of Q94's weekly local music program, "The Backyard Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WBRX 94.7 and WBXQ 94.3. The show is brought to you by The Altoona Curve (www.altoonacurve.com), “Everybody’s Hometown Team!”
Thanks to our guests this week, My Turning Point (www.myturningpointrocks.com). We learned about the band, formed by former Blue Skye Mourning/Stept On/Wake Up Screaming drummer Jim Bagrosky, who stepped out from behind the drum kit to sing and play rhythm guitar in this latest project. We heard songs from My Turning Point’s debut CD, Seclusion Serves Me Well, and several lucky listeners phoned in to win copies of the disc. We also updated Local Music News, and we debuted new songs from Fooling April, Bad Daze and Turning Point.
Here is this week’s playlist:
HOUR ONE:
THE NIGHTCRAWLERS – “Black Hole”
FOOLING APRIL – “Chick Flix”
MY TURNING POINT – “In Your Head”
LIES, INC. – “Hypnotic”
MY TURNING POINT – “Broken Man”
NITEKAST – “Humidity”
MY TURNING POINT – “Found My Way”
BAD DAZE – “Lost” (live)
HOUR TWO:
FLIGHT 19 – “3 of a Kind”
4 DAYS DIRTY – “Killbox”
MY TURNING POINT – “Words Are Not Enough/Everlasting”
STEPT ON – “Lonely” (2000, Local Music Flashback)
MY TURNING POINT – “Stop”
TURNING POINT – “Two Minute Warning”
MY TURNING POINT – “Under My Skin”
Next Sunday night, our guest in the studio will be “Backyard Rocker” frequent flyer Rhyne McCormick. When Rhyne was last here on Tax Day (April 15), he introduced his new band, Last Chance. We’ll get an update on Last Chance, as well as Rhyne’s solo career. We’ll also hear tunes from Rhyne’s CD’s, plus he’ll be bringing his guitar to play a song or two live. Rhyne McCormick returns to the “Backyard Rocker,” next Sunday night!
