BACKYARD ROCKER 2/8/04 (SUICIDE SWITCH)

[Jim Price]

Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the February 8 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.

Thanks to our guests this week, area heavy hitters Suicide Switch, for a wild and crazy two hours. Onstage one of the heaviest bands in the land, Suicide Switch off the stage were lighthearted and crazy, as they expounded on their band and their music, and kept the show host on his toes with constant Ozzy impersonations and other twists and turns. It was a fun, hard-hitting two hours; and Q94 is not responsible for any furniture broken as a result of spontaneous moshing that might have erupted during the Suicide Switch tunes.

This week's playlist:

HOUR ONE:

THE GRIMM - “Enough”
STEPT ON - “Snowed In”
SUICIDE SWITCH - “My Body Lies”
