BACKYARD ROCKER 10/12/03

[Jim Price]

Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the October 12 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 this week's in-studio guests, Poker Face, for a very interesting and intriguing program. We discussed Poker Face's career, music, live show; and mission as a freedom-loving band who wants their music to make people think about America, its principles and constitution. We heard songs from Poker Face's third CD, "Made In America," and the group performed three songs live on the air. In addition, we debuted new music from Screamapillar and Looking For June.
