BACKYARD ROCKER 11/16/03

Post by **Jim Price** » Sunday Nov 16, 2003

Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the November 16 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, Cambria County-based Soundrive, for visiting the program and enlightening us about their music and career to date. We heard several songs from Soundrive's debut CD, “Resided Emotions,” and four lucky listeners won copies of the CD. In addition, Soundrive performed several brand new songs live and in the studio. The group explained their evolution from folk-based rock to a more psychedelic vein of music, and hearing that evolution through the live songs made for an interesting two hours. In addition, we debuted a new song from the Poptart Monkeys.

This week's playlist:

STEPT ON - “Day After Day”
