#552 S14E17 Dennis McDonald: DJ DMac and the State of the Cellar
We had our friend Dennis McDonald on last year, where he came on the show and played us tracks from 6 of his favorite bands who have graced the Cellar Stage at Alturas bar on 4th street, Dennis’ dream job here in the biggest little city. The episode was a hit, and some listeners wanted more shows like that. Well, here you go.
DMac is back with music and stories from The Scattering, Vampirates, Green Jelly, Greg Golden Band featuring Frank Hannon from Tesla, Agent Orange, and Sponge!
Nick gives us the highlights from his weekend gig with Roxxy Collie playing an outdoor show in Fallon.
Kadillac Kim gives us the lowdown on the Reno Punk Rock Flea Market’s upcoming Punk Rock Pride event. Dogwater Dick shares his weekend with Lincoln Skinz in the studio and Chewbacca keeps it real and funny and real funny.
So, turn it up, kick back and take a historical musical journey through the sounds of the Cellar with a pillar of the Reno music scene and remember folks, life is short, and we love you!Thanks for listening.
Up from the Cellar: Dennis McDonald Picks 6 – S12 E24
This weeks episode is brought to you by The Cellar at Alturas’ live show booker, sound man, public relations director, and a local musicians best friend, Dennis McDonald . He and his son Uriah stopped by ye olde Dogwater Studios to discuss the ins and outs, highs and lows, ups and downs of a ten year run putting on shows of all kinds. It’s a great story about a passionate music man who is in it for all the right reasons.
We hear tracks from local bad-asses Grimedog, Murderock, Machine Gun Vendetta, KANAWHA, The Grimtones, and Elephant Rifle! Each track we hear comes with a great story, often with a personal, and a touching reason behind the pick.
We love doing these showcase episodes and we hope you enjoy hearing them. Visit the Cellar stage at Alturas and say hi to Dennis, the man making it all happen. Thanks for listening!
