Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the October 30 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.
The show took a psychotic twist this week with our annual “Backyard Rocker” Halloween Special! We went on a scary journey, featuring tunes with a general Halloween flavor (ghosts, curses, psychos, etc.) from area bands and artists, and welcomed in-studio guests Inversion (www.xinversionx.com). Thanks to Inversion for introducing us to their dark and haunting nightmarish musical vision, as we heard tracks from Inversion’s soon-to-be-released CD.
Here is this week’s playlist:
HOUR ONE:
FELIX & THE HURRICANES – “Black Widow”
VS. THE EARTH – “Psycho”
INVERSION – “Memories of the Dead”
BACKSTREET LAW – “What’s Wrong with My Head”
INVERSION – “Krust”
ASHES TO ASHES – “Darkside”
INVERSION – “As The World Burns”
ICARUS WITCH – “The Ghost of Xavior Holmes/Darklands”
HOUR TWO:

Next Sunday night, we welcome the annual visit of Meyersdale singer/songwriter/guitarist Michael Reich. We’ll learn what is new in Michaels’ world and career, plus hear recorded tunes from him. Michael may even bring a guitar and play a few live! And Michael will also share his Steelers views with us as well! The return of Michael Reich, next Sunday night on the “Backyard Rocker!”
