Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the May 27 edition of 105.9 Qwik-Rock's weekly local music program, "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Lion Country's Rock Station, 105.9 Qwik-Rock. The show can also be streamed via Qwik's website, www.1059qwikrock.com.

This week was our annual Memorial Day Special, as we dug into the archives and celebrated local music past! We dug out the vinyl LP's and 45's, cassettes, reel tapes and CD's to celebrate past bands and artists who graced area stages from the 1990s, 1980s, 1970s and 1960s - including never-before aired live footage from Altoona's Artie & the Imperials from 1962! We also remembered some of the area musicians who we have lost through the years. It was another fun trek down "Local Music Memory Lane!"

Here is this week's playlist:

HOUR ONE:

SIDEWALK ROMEO - "On a Snow White Night" (1988)
BACKSEAT VAN GOGH - "Catch a New Wave" (1980)
TREMOR - "Movin' On Down the Line" (1975)
BLACK DIAMOND - "Back Street Lover" (1978)
ARTIE & THE IMPERIALS - "From the Bottom of My Heart" (live) (1962)
THE WOOLLY THUMPERS - "Come Closer" (1968)
BILLY PRICE & THE KEYSTONE RHYTHM BAND - "I Can't Lose the Blues" (live) (1984)
B.E. TAYLOR GROUP - "Vitamin L" (1983)
CUT THE MUSTARD - "Raven Black Hair" (1983)
BITTER ROUTE - "Chrome" (1989)
FUSE - "Diamondback" (1997)
BADWRENCH - "Frammous" (1996)

HOUR TWO:

BASHFUL - "Into the Battle" (1985)
TOM BRUNNER GROUP - "Cheap Love" (1982)
NIXON PIT CREW - "Pure Thought" (1993)
EDISON - "He Player" (1997)
ANACONDA - "The Pit and the Pendulum" (live) (1986)
TIME BOMB - "Bad Boy Walking" (1989)
THE GRIMM - "My God, It's Full of Stars" (1999)
ASK A STRANGER - "Starlight" (1991)
THE U.S. HOUSE BAND - "Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" (live) (1997)

We were originally to have band guests on our next program, but the logistics didn't work out for being able to record the interview, so we postponed that band's appearance until July. Instead, we will spend our next program visiting the mailboxes to see what new recordings have arrived in recent days and weeks - meaning we will debut lots of new music! Expect to hear new tunes from such artists as Ted McCloskey & Molly Countermine, Steve Treado, Sterling Koch, The Roof, Black Star Sunrise, Afraid Of Human and more! Along the way, we will update "Local Music News," dig into the archive for a "Local Music Flashback," step "Across State Lines" to hear music from an independent band or artist from outside the state, and review not one but TWO CD's in "The Professor's CD Corner" - we'll review Jim Donovan & the Sun King Warriors' latest CD We See Through It during the first hour, and Almost Howe's Deceived CD in the second hour!

Upcoming guests and specials include:

JUNE 10 - Hate Grenade
JUNE 17 - Father's Day Special
JUNE 24 - Behind the Grey
JULY 8 - Cover Song Special
JULY 15 - Psycho Prophecy
JULY 22 - Dylan E. Miller
AUG. 5 - Tukurpa
AUG. 19 - We Came From Space

(All dates are subject to changes as circumstances warrant.)

Bands and artists wanting to submit news items for "Local Music News" may email their news to homegrownrocker@gmail.com. Indicate "MUSIC NEWS" in the subject heading!

Bands and artists interested in having music aired on the show are invited to send their broadcast-quality recordings to: Magnum Broadcasting, 315 South Atherton Street, State College, PA 16801; ATTN: Jim Price/Homegrown. Or drop the recordings off at the station during regular business hours, Monday-Friday 9 AM to 5 PM. You can also email digital song files or inquiries about the show to homegrownrocker@gmail.com.
