‘Queens Of The Scene’ Showcasing Local Music Scene To The World

March 12, 2014 By Dayton Most Metro 2 Comments

The Professors ontsage circa 2005 (photo by Juliet Fromholt)

Gretchen Kelly begins with the story of one of the most wild and exciting nights that she’s been a part of as a show booker for the Oregon Express. She goes in depth about the Saturday night when local band The Professors took the stage.  The Professors are a fuzz-inspired, psychedelic rock band that featured heavy riffs and 1960s style songwriting.  Their style of music made them a big draw and would capture the audience’s attention anywhere they would perform.  The Professors were more than just a band that would come and play music; they became one of the premiere acts in town.  The band decided that it needed to take a break, and after 14 months they decided to return to playing live.  The band came to Kelly one night and expressed their interest in coming out of their hibernation and playing at Oregon Express.  The show would be the very first the band would play after their hiatus.  Kelly jumped on the opportunity and agreed to book the gig.

A typical live music show goes as follows- crowd will show up and grab a seat in the viewing area where the show takes place.  The staff quickly serves everyone without really having any issues throughout the duration of the show. Number of people will roam around, back and forth between the two sections of the bar.  At the end of the night, everyone walks away completely satisfied.  A pretty typical night at any venue.

But you never know how the evening is going to go.  The night that Kelly talks about was a night that the script was changed.  It’s the nature of the beast when it comes to setting up live shows.  Before the night of the show, Kelly warned the staff that because of the popularity of The Professors there will be a need of additional help that night.  As the night came, one of the staff called off due to illness.  Being short staffed seemed okay at first due to the low volume at the start.  Then out of nowhere, the crowd came in large numbers.  The bar was difficult to move around as soon as everyone came in.  Kelly goes on to end the story explaining that this was the second biggest night of door money that she ever obtained, right behind the CD release of another Dayton local band The Rebel Set’s Ghost Town Silence.  After her story wrapped up, Kelly proceeded to fire up The Professors song ‘Pay the Price’.

 Kelly, along with Emily Wegh, hosts a weekly show called Queens of the Scene on RadioPureGently.com.  Radio Pure Gently is an  internet radio station that has been in production for a couple of years now, and is still growing.  The website began when Rob Puricelli was doing an internet radio show in 2010.  Puricelli was producing his own show on a community based station  Radio Thetford.  The show was based in his home country in England and it focused on independent music.  Unfortunately, Puricelli  couldn’t continue the show due to his employment changing and other commitments.

Four dedicated listeners of Puricelli’s show felt that there was a void afterwards.  After getting together and doing some talking,  they decided that they would set up their own radio station together.  On August 16th, 2012, Rohan Tarry (Bristol, UK), Larry Lang  (Dayton, OH), Chris Duff (The Midlands, UK), and Micky Dodds (Armagh, UK) each did a half hour set, and would have their shows  broadcast every Thursday at 7pm (UK time).  The four men would call their project Radio Pure Gently because Tarry thought that it  sound very similar to Puricelli.  On August 16th, 2012, the first show went live.  In 2013 Terry passed on his slot to Matt Clayton, who resides in Sellersburg, Indiana.  In the summer of 2013, RadioPureGently.com was launched, and the focus turned to promoting and  introducing new bands, artists, and musicians.

Kelly has been part of the scene in Dayton for many years.  She started waiting tables and helping out the bands that played at Oregon Express.  In 2007, the folks that were setting up the shows decided to step down and recommended Kelly to take over.

“I had no experience in booking bands”, Kelly said during our conversations.  “However, I knew that I could be good at it, and I developed a system that worked.”

Kelly would book one band for Saturday nights, and have them bring in any 2 bands that they wanted.  By coordinating shows this way, Kelly gives the bands all the control of door sales and how it trickles down.  It also is a wonderful opportunity for the band that was originally booked to have another band come in and play.  In 2009, Kelly decided to step down as booker.  She returned to the position after the owner of Oregon Express called her up and asked her to come back.  “I am so very glad the owner called, because I missed being a part of the Dayton Music Scene. It’s where my heart is.”

For Emily Wegh, home is a little farther away.  Born and raised in the outer parts of Chicago, Wegh decided to study marketing at the University of Dayton.  Wegh loved the campus and the friendly atmosphere, but what really drove her were the opportunities for community involvement.  Currently, Wegh works in the UD dining services on campus, where she met Kelly.  The two quickly bonded over the local music scene, along with independent music.  “She eventually ended up asking me if I would be interested in doing a radio show with her and the RPG guys,”Wegh explained.  Being part of the show, along with her majoring in marketing, has also given her another job.  “As soon as the guys found out that I’m a marketing major, I was promoted to heading up our marketing campaign.”

Queens of the Scene, which debuted on January 21, 2014, is a two hour show broken up into two parts:  one hour features Kelly, and the other hour features Wegh.  Kelly dives into more of the music that is being played and produced in the Dayton scene.  The New Old-Fashioned, Motel Beds, Shrug, SOHIO are among some of the local bands that Kelly presents on her segment.  Wegh explores other independent artists in her hour’s segment.  She also dives into how the songs and/or artists she has played as impacted her.  On the Valentine’s Day show, Wegh jokingly played music about love and heartbreak.  Both hours are full of great music, both local and from around the world.  Each week, both ladies record their vocals and insert the music into the recording software program REAPER.  With the vocals and music in place, the ladies will then transfer it to Micky Dodds.  The original idea was for both Wegh and Kelly to produce the show together.  Unfortunately it hasn’t been able to happen due to the schedules.  Kelly and Wegh do plan to eventually have them both do the show together instead broken into two segments.

The road is paved for Radio Pure Gently to really make a splash, especially over the pond, Kelly explains.  “I was talking to my friend in who lives in London, Shamus Dark, who is a jazz singer. We were talking about how RPG will be adding more programing and he message me something that I though was interesting.  The live music scene is slowly dying in the UK. There was a program on BBC about all the small venues that have closed in the last few years. They’re called ‘toilet venues’ because they’re so small, but it’s where Oasis, Manic Street preachers, Pulp and many others started out. It’s all very worrying.  He thinks RPG and others like it can help save the real music versus the television talent shows.”

The shows on the website are constantly working on improving not only their sound, but also their content.  Independent artist and bands all over the world are being able to have their music played.  Listeners can go to this website RadioPureGently.com, or they can click on to http://mixlr.com/radio-pure-gently/chat.

For Kelly, Wegh, and everyone involved with Radio Pure Gently, the experience of being a part of the website is thrilling.  “It’s especially exciting for me to be working on something like this because it’s so diverse and international.  It has been a terrific and one of a kind experience for me so far, and I’m really stoked to see where it continues going,” Wegh said.

Kelly added, “We all love doing this.  It’s like having a bunch of new brothers.”

Queens of the Scene is broadcast every Tuesday afternoon at 2pm when you can also hear more stories just like the one about Kelly’s wild and magical Saturday night with The Professors, and of course more music.

WSWO Announces Annual Record Sale Blowout

October 3, 2012 By Juliet Fromholt Leave a Comment

Vinyl collectors, mark your calendars for November 10th and 11th when low power FM radio station WSWO will hold its annual record sale.  A wealth of music will be available for sale in an event that benefits the community station.

Local sponsors have donated various items for raffle prizes to raise additional money for the station, including a new USB digital turntable and record care accessories from Omega Music in downtown Dayton.

Known as “Ultimate Oldies Radio,” WSWO 97.5 & 101.1FM airs material that charted during the first 3 decades of rock and roll and is accented with jazz, R&B and cross over religious & country artists, also broadcasting Wayne Warrior sporting events and community based religious programming.  The record sale is the nonprofit station’s biggest fundraiser of the year; the rest of its budget is fleshed out by listener donations and sponsorships from local businesses.

WSWO is still taking music donations through November 1st of gently used 45’s, LP’s, CD’s & cassettes (no 78’s) as well as working turntables & jukeboxes. Donations can be taken to The Heights Cafe’ also located in the Huber Center, or arrangements can be made through the station.

College Radio: A Sparkling Star of Hope

October 20, 2011 By Dayton Most Metro Leave a Comment

Most radio these days has too narrow a vision. Pandering to corporations and very specific groups of people, it is hard to find a station that shows a spark of creativity in the wasteland. However, there still exists a shining ray of hope for those looking for something unique: independent radio. More specifically, college radio. And I’m not just saying this because I work at a college radio station.

This year, just this past week, the first ever College Radio Day was held. The goal of the day was to bring together college radio stations across the United States and help promote awareness of these stations. Wright State University’s station, WWSU 106.9, decided to participate in the festivities as well. Each station chose the way they wanted to promote the day, with the only specific event each did was airing a piece on the history and future of college radio. WWSU celebrated the day by hitting the campus, giving out prizes, and generally promoting college radio programming.

So what is so unique about college radio that it deserves its own day? Well, as I mentioned before, it is one of the last bastions of creativity in a corporate-run business. You’re not likely to find robotic DJs working their way through a set playlist of specific songs, never deviating from the norm. You will probably find more than just the few songs-DJ talk-commercials setup you hear everywhere else. I know personally that at the station I work at, you can hear interviews with comedians, a block of old-school hip-hop, a video game music focused show, and metal bands playing live in studio on the same day, sometimes back to back. Try finding that on your typical radio station.

College radio also caters to its community. In fact, it is my personal opinion that college radio stations have a duty to their community to help promote its music and events. Local music depends on college stations to help expand their listenership. With corporate radio either playing nostalgia-focused music or top-40, hip-with-the-kids stuff, there isn’t much room for local and unsigned bands to get their music out there. College radio provides this outlet to local artists, promoting them along with the local scene.

Keep this in mind the next time you get in your car: Do you want to listen to the same thing over and over, or would you like to hear something new? Do you want to support large companies, or your local scene? If you answered the latter to either of those (hopefully both!), then check out your friendly neighborhood college radio station! We’d be glad to have you listen!

Looking for Local Music on Dayton Radio

November 18, 2009 By Dayton Most Metro 36 Comments

daytonlocalradioAs a young twenty-something living in Chicagoland in the early 90’s, I was connected vicariously to the Chicago music scene through my friends and roommates whose bands played shows in just about every bar in the city.  Many of us supported our friends by trekking into the city on most weekends, especially when they played the bigger and/or more popular venues like the Aragon Ballroom, Double Door and Metro.  And I can remember the two radio stations that supported local music – Q101 and WXRT.  Q101 even put out a compilation cd that featured my friends’ band, and to this day I listen to WXRT online.  A bit older now with a family and now living in Dayton, I’m not at all connected to the music scene here and don’t get out much (though I’m proud to say I know Drexel Dave).  But I’m aware that there is a local music scene here and I would like more of an opportunity to hear it.

Living in Dayton since 2001, I have long since figured out that the radio scene here is as generic as they come.  The ultimate in generic radio would be Fly92.9 – a Jack FM format that is completely automated with no DJ’s (though I am told they have one).  And absolutely no commercial radio station plays or promotes local music – not a single one.  Anybody that listens to local commercial radio in Dayton would probably have no clue as to just how many original bands call Dayton home.

I make the commercial distinction because we do in fact have one station that does promote local talent – that would be WYSO 91.3, the public radio station out of Yellow Springs.  DMM’s own Juliet Fromholt hosts the weekly Kaleidoscope on Wednesday evenings, which showcases local bands and features live performances.  Rev Cool’s Around The Fringe show on Friday nights is an eclectic mix that includes promotion of the local scene.  And Niki Dakota’s Excursions offers listeners music across the music spectrum every weekday.  In a different genre, WDPR 88.1 (another public radio station and DMM media partner) plays classical music and promotes the local scene when it comes to the Dayton Philharmonic, Dayton Ballet, etc.

While WYSO is the one station I listen to on a regular basis, their music offerings are limited to certain days and/or hours of the day.  What do you think about local radio?  Is Dayton doomed to a future with no original commercial radio play or local music promotion?  Do you think that a local Internet radio station that focused on the local scene could have legs?  What say you?
