Storming the Radio Airwaves



So after 24 hours of travel and a five hour time differences, a sudden change to my personal schedule. After a quick chat with Dave (Daisies manager), I met up with the band at their hotel and headed out to New Jersey for a live appearance on the radio at WDHA 105.5.

Catching up with the guys on the bus while sitting with Jon and Dizzy, they updated me on how well the Bad Company/Lynyrd Skynrd dates well as well as sharing some Kiss fan stories with drummer Brian Tichy.

Sat with the band while Jon, Marco, Richard and Brian went over some acoustic renditions of ‘Yesterday’, ‘Lock N’ Load’ and its ‘Gonna Take Time’ in preparation for the radio appearance.

This followed with the radio appearance featuring ‘Washington’ and ‘Face I Love’ being played live along with an interview by DJ Terri with Jon.

We then made our way back to Manhattan where myself and Marco had a long chat about music and the philosophies of when it feels good to be in a musical situation when its all coming together.

The traffic jams in the Lincoln Tunnel were horrendous but we all arrived back just in time to relieve any added pressure (go for a wiz)!

As ever, it always strikes me how down to earth and completely relaxed and chilled the guys are, just like you and me apart from that awesome music of course!


Tomorrow is Rehearsal Day 1.

Incase you are wondering who the guy in the Lonsdale t-shirt is, thats Tommy, he is the guy who makes it all happen when the Daisies play live! and he is one of the coolest dudes on the plant!
