In this Episode, I am joined by the OKC band "Rolling Eyes"...

I host The KATT Local Talent Show, every Sunday Night at 9pm central time on Oklahoma City's Rock Station since 1976, Rock 100.5 The KATT, where i play all Oklahoma music for 2 hours. Oklahoma in general, has a very vibrant music scene, with talent of all genres, from border to border. I got an email from an OKC band called "Rolling Eyes" & they sent me a track called "Void". It instantly reminded me of what was coming out in the mid to late 90's, very reminiscent of the shoegaze sound but its own modern vibe. So i looked into the band more, they didn't have a website but they did have an instagram page & that one song available on Spotify. I played the song on the LTS one Sunday night. Fast Forward to a few weeks later & i'm taking my son Wyatt to guitar lessons, & out walks Logan, whom i hadn't met & says, hey thanks for playing my band! I was kind of shocked b/c i didn't know him so i had to ask what band he was in, & he tells me. Then i find out my sons guitar teacher is also in Rolling Eyes & they were both super excited I played it. It was just a random email from strangers, sent to another stranger, hoping it might get played. This is why i genuinely enjoy hosting the Local Talent Show. When i see the excitement from a band hearing their song for the first time, being played to a mass audience on the radio. It makes me happy being able to do that for so many artists. I told Riley & Logan i wanted to have them on the podcast sometime. So when they sent me their new song "Cosmic Relief", i asked them to come on the podcast & the Local Talent Show to talk about it. This is Oklahoma Music. We discuss other local bands they like, what inspires their sound, recording at ACM @ UCO & their new music as well....

Enjoy,

In the early 2000's, Fist of Five was one of the bigger bands from the Oklahoma Music Scene. Playing shows all cross the region, recording at Nomad Studios in Texas w/ JT Longoria who has worked w/ Izzy Stradlin, Volbeat, King Diamond, Cradle of Filth, & tons of DFW area bands. Releasing "Broken Roses", touring, playing lots of shows regionally, almost a hundred shows in one year as an independent band. Life happens, the band dissolves, fast forward to 2020, social meida & youtube asked the question, what happened to this band?? That led to phone calls between memebers who hadn't spoken in years. It rekindled the spark of creativity w/ no expectations, other than to give their old record the time it deserved. They enlisted Sterling Winfield (Pantera, Hellyeah, Texas Hippie Coaliton, Merciful Fate, etc..) to remix, remaster & re-record some parts of "Broken Roses" for a re-release to the streaming age.... These discussions & these sessions led the band to enlist Sterling to go with the band to Sylvia Massey's studio in Oregon to record new music, produced by Sylvia (Tool, Prince, Avatar, Johnny Cash, Green Jelly, System of A Down, etc.) & engineered by Sterling. They discuss the entire process, recording a cover of Garth Brook's "The Dance" as well as some of their favorite Oklahoma bands.
