WYEP In Pittsburgh

stripped down for wyep 4.11.06

the afternoon of the brillo box show we did an on air performance at a great npr radio station 91.3 wyep. wyep is yet another cool thing about pittsburgh. the whole station is made of recycled material or at least bunch of it was made from it… like the carpet was made from recycled cups and the sound boards were made from recycled jeans. pretty crazy huh…i still dont understand the recycled jeans thing. anyway, kyle is the morning host at yep and he was the one to interview us live on the air. not only were interviewed but rob and q performed 4 songs in front of a studio audience. the songs they played were monterey, hollywood, still lost and visions which has never ever been performed before. it was a historic moment and im glad it all got recorded. those tapes will be available on the net pretty soon i hope. personally, i thought it was rob and q’s best acoustic performance EVER. both of their voices sounded great. mark, nathan, and i were equally mesmerized by their talents. after the show we did some group station id’s which were pretty amusing. i also want to thank mike the music director, brian the production director and chris one of the dj’s for all being so cool to us. thanx for the support wyep…we appreciate it!

Mariqueen’s Mind

The Venue: WYEP is beautiful. apparently the whole place is made of recycled paper cups and jeans. i enjoyed the whole feng shui of the place. it is something you must see for yourself… ooooh! check out pictures from the station right HERE

The Show: though there were minor glitches i think it was a success. i am starting to get more comfortable playing intimate shows. just as long as i don’t have to talk. =)

What Were You Thinking While Playing: i was calm and cool, not thinking about anything at all…

Interesting Things After The Show: charles and jacque [best people in the world] took us around the town for a bit before we were due at the brillo box.

THE JAMES REPORT
Why can’t there be more stations like WYEP? Thanks for the love. It will come back to you tenfold as the ancients rise up from beyond to tune in from lost astral-planes.

    WIG,

    Saw yins at BrilloBox and loved the show…it was a special night seeing a special band. My son flipped out when I gave him the shirt you all signed. It was pretty late so you may not remember. But do remember that you have an open invitation to stay at my place at Seven Springs between Pgh and Phil if you need a place the next time you’re back east. its a condo at a ski resort. in fact you might try to arrange a gig there. The Pgh. 3 rivers arts festival would also be a great venue for you next june 07. if interested I have some contacts. I’m behind on a few things such sending you a CD of my tunes due to a death in my family. There comes a time…
    Have a great summer! Roy
