Hello Everyone,

Here is the recap of the November 11 edition of Q94's weekly local music program, "The Backyard Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on WBXQ 94.3. The show is brought to you by The Altoona Curve (www.altoonacurve.com), “Everybody’s Hometown Team!”

Thanks to our guests via phone, Frank Phobia and Brent Black of Reading-based hard rockers Anthrophobia (www.anthrophobia.com), for an interesting and hard-rocking two hours! After a 20-plus-year career that included being signed to a national record label, stints on the Vans Warped Tour, and a number of albums and other recordings, Anthrophobia closes the book after Thanksgiving weekend. Frank and Brent discussed aspects of their lengthy career, their reasons for bringing it to an end, and the gala finale show, which happens on Saturday, November 24 at The Silo in Reading. We also heard songs from Anthrophobia's swan song CD, Ultrasound, and a lucky listener called in to win a copy of the CD and tickets to the show! We also debuted new tracks from 44 Mag and Johnny Action Figure, and reviewed Way Down East's new CD, Summon the Sea Hag, in "The Professor's CD Corner." (The review can be read in the “Backyard Rocker” section of the message board area on Q94’s website, www.wbxq.com.)
