CODE for BOOM CREW

Cate Meighan- Host of Cate’s Musical Diary & Boom Radio’s All Request Sunday Night

Cate & Exposé

Where do you live-

The eastern shore of MD

Earliest musical memory-

Being in the studio with my dad at night during his
live radio. Also, my dad spinning the 12″ version of Blondie’s “Heart
of Glass” nonstop at a Halloween party. I was maybe 7 & it was an
adult party but they humored me with Cleopatra eyeliner and big hair while
insisting I avoid the punch bowl and brownies. Not sure which one came first.

The first album you bought-

Pat Benatar’s Crimes
of Passion. Technically my dad bought it for me because he was trying to break
me away from disco. The first album that I remember buying with my money was
actually a compilation that had Flock of Seagulls, Kim
Wilde, Foreigner & Bow Wow Wow on it.

First concert-

I think it was 1988, it was Guns N’
Roses and Aerosmith at a racetrack in PA. GNR was new
and we couldn’t wait to see them, even more than Aerosmith. The concert was
fantastic and the night was really memorable because it had been pouring for
days and everything was mud. We all lost our shoes & I remember there being
a photo in the local paper a few days later of all the shoes left behind once
the ground started to dry!

Last concert attended-

Jody Watley at a supper club in DC

You just got off of a plane & are
standing in your dream location, where are you?

France. Or a castle in Banff.

Favorite memory-

So many & they usually include a really connected
conversation with someone. Also, walking in NYC alone at night. That sounds
strange but it is one of my favorite things on earth, just soaking up
everything (especially the creativity) around me but not having to be
“on”.

Bucket list goal-

I really want my pilot’s license. Seriously.

Finish this sentence-

“This time next year I’ll have TWO books on shelves in book stores.”

You’re hosting a dinner with 3 living

T-Bone Hosts T-Bone’s Prime Cuts each
Saturday afternoon at 1pm EST & T-Bone’s Tribute Tuesdays

Where do you live-

Just Northeast of Indianapolis, IN

Earliest musical memory-

I wasn’t allowed to listen to “rock” music
as a child…but I vividly remember being in 7th grade and all of my
friends talking about KISS. I hadn’t heard them, but I knew all of their names!

The first album you bought-

Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band – The Distance

First concert-

Billy Joel – April 4, 1984 – Joe Louis Arena in
Detroit.

My girlfriend at the time had bought tickets for her
and her previous boyfriend before we had met. I told her I didn’t want to go as
I wasn’t a fan. She asked if it would be okay if she went with her previous
boyfriend… I WENT! lol Became a Billy Joel fan that night and I still am.

Last concert attended-

Hall & Oates – May 28, 2013 – Palace Theatre in
Louisville, KY.

I was working for the band by this time (worked for
them from 2008-18) but this was the first and only time seeing them live. I had
been to a handful of John Oates shows, even attending his Songwriters Festival
in Aspen, CO. (Where I was lucky to spend some alone time with Allen
Toussaint!) Great show and I got to take some friends backstage, so it was fun!

You just got off of a plane & are
standing in your dream location, where are you?

Scotland. I’m part Scottish and would love to visit
someday.

Favorite memory-

Probably how happy I was to talk to one of my heroes
on the phone – Robin Trower – and interview him in the early days of T-Bone’s
Prime Cuts. (May of 2011)

Bucket list goal-

To be happy.

Finish this sentence- “This time next

My mom used to listen to The Carpenters and my
dad listened to Bluegrass and Classical Music

The first album you bought-

With my own money? I believe it was Mötley Crüe-Theatre
Of Pain

First concert
–

Kiss/Slaughter and
Faster Pussycat In 1990. I was 12. My dad took me and he had quadruple
bypass heart surgery 2 years before. During the show, my dad could feel the
bass drum in his chest and it freaked him out. I remember Faster Pussycat and
the show but not much about Slaughter. My dad was the only man there dressed in
Khakis and a Cardigan Sweater. Hahahaha!

Last concert attended
–

ELECTRIC RADIO KINGS!
At Counts Vamp’d in Vegas! That was a blast! Paul Christiana (lead singer) flew
me out to introduce them on stage. Everyone was awesome! Paul Christiana is
crazy! Love that man.

You just got off of a plane & are
standing in your dream location, where are you?

On stage introducing a band somewhere.

Favorite memory-
Meeting so many people recently, and becoming friends with so many awesome
people. Keith Ferrari, K.A. Of Lypswitch, Paul Christiana, Angel Cruz, Angela
Hamilton, Ashley McDermott, Johnny Italia, Justin Kimmel,Ace Von Johnson, Chris
Steven…I could go on. Getting to know these people is making great memories.

Chris is the host of My Rock & Roll
Heaven heard Sundays at 5pm EST

Chris with Lee Aron

Where do you live-

Markham, Ontario (part of the Greater Toronto Area)

Earliest musical memory- listening
to Beethoven’s 5^th symphony with my dad’s giant headphones on
(I have a pic somewhere!). I was probably 5 or so and I remember being
absolutely blown away by how powerful the music was. My parents were big music
lovers (especially classical) and we always had music playing in the
house.

The first album you bought-

First album I bought with my own money was Survivor’s
Eye Of The Tiger. It was one of 13 records I got for a penny when I joined
Columbia House for the 1^st time in 1983, but it was the 1^st one
I circled on the flyer that came in the Saturday newspaper. Great thing is I
still have the record. It’s pretty beat up, I played it non-stop! I remember
having to get my mom to sign for me and that the grand total including shipping
was $1.86.

First concert –

First concert was November 19^th, 1988 in
North Bay Ontario (where I grew up) and it was seeing my 1^st favorite
band, Honeymoon Suite! The venue was called the North Bay Arts Centre (it’s
still there) and it’s about a 1,000 seat theatre with fantastic acoustics. I
remember waiting in line before the box office opened (determined to get great
seats), and ended up being one of the 1^st people there! I
managed to get 2^nd row centre seats (4 in total) and rushed
back to school afterwards to tell my buddies! Still have the ticket stub too.

Honeymoon Suite was fantastic, they were on the tour
for their 3^rd album Racing After Midnight and played a solid 2
hours. Great thing is that they are still together making new music and
touring. I’ll be seeing them this summer J

Last concert attended-

Billy Idol and Steve Stevens, March 25 2019 at the
Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto. I have been a massive Billy Idol fan for
years and this was my first time seeing him live! This show was simply Billy
and Steve on stage, playing acoustic and electric versions of his classic
songs, with Billy telling us the history behind his music and how the songs
came to be. Almost like a VH1 Storytellers/MTV Unplugged type show. Seeing
Billy and Steve in such a small venue (it was about a 1,000 seater) and hearing
him tell the story of his life while singing these songs was such a memorable
experience and one I won’t soon forget.

You just got off of a plane & are
standing in your dream location, where are you? Hmmm….
Tough to narrow it down to just one location but right now I’d have to say the
Maldives.

Favorite memory-

Wow, I have so many of them! I’ll go with a recent one
though, which would be meeting my favorite band Def Leppard last summer. One of
the best days of my life!

Bucket list goal-

Travelling through Europe for an entire summer going
from one rock festival to another!

Finish this sentence- “This time next
year I hopefully will have won the lottery and I’m
retired sitting on a beach somewhere with the rock and roll cranked up! 😉
“

The first album you bought –

Elvis Golden
Records

First concert-

My Dad, Mom, my brother Mike & myself went to
see John Denver at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The
year was 1978, I remember being incredibly excited because John was using the
core of Elvis’s touring band, (James Burton, Ronnie Tutt, Glen Hardin &
Jerry Scheff).

Last concert attended-

Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore at
Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa, Florida just a couple weeks ago. My Dad & I
had terrific seats. We’ve seen Alvin seven or eight times over the years and we

never seen the two of them together. It was an incredibly good show start to
finish.

Where do you live?

Lancaster, SC

Earliest musical memory?

Being a little kid, listening to my sister’s
hand-me-down 45s of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons and The Rivingtons,
“Papa Oom Mow Mow,” and a couple of years later, being bitten by MonkeeMania. I
wanted to BE a Monkee? Who wouldn’t? They were best friends who lived in a
house on the beach and played music all day and were surrounded by beautiful girls…the
American Dream on steroids.

The first album you bought?

The first Monkees album.

Glen Campbell, Circle Star Theater, San Carlos, CA.

Allman Brothers Band, Shoreline Amphitheater, Mountain
View, CA

Hmmm…somewhere tropical, with palm trees, a lack of
insects and other critters that could sting me or eat me, the ocean, no
tourists, no trust fund teens, just me, water, sand and sky.

Favorite memory?

My time as the DJ for the greatest honky tonk dive bar
in the United States, The Maverick Saloon & Dance Hall in Pahrump, Nevada
(2012-2013). The owner later gutted the place, every single thing inside the
four walls, and sold it all off, turning it into a marijuana grow facility.

Bucket List Goal?

To record my own music.

Dinner with three artists who are living,
and three who have died?

Living: Neil
Young, Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane / Hot Tuna), Chris Hillman (Byrds /
Burrito Brothers)

Roll Heaven: Frank Zappa, Steve Marriott, Keith
Moon

Tommy Alaska Hosts The Vinyl Hour of Power each Friday at 8pm EST

Where do you live-

Wilkes-Barre,Pa

Earliest musical memory-
Being in the basement with my father. He was always having friends over and
playing albums and 45’s from his collection. He was a dj before I was
born. I would sit on the steps and listen to them laugh and I would enjoy
hearing the drums shake the plastic covers on the ceiling lights. I always
enjoyed Friday and Saturday nights as a child for this reason.

The first album you bought-
The first album I bought with my own money was Neil Young’s Harvest LP. I
loved the oldies as a kid, I still do! The first album my dad bought for me was
Appetite For Destruction. 2 days later he regretted that! I’ll never forget
that ride home in the big red van we used to have.

First concert-
My first concert was a Local band called Lifer. Stalemate and Project 67
opened for them.

Last concert attended-
The Black Crowes @ The CYC in Scranton or was it Australian Pink Floyd?
I forget. My memory gets a little hazy.

You just got off of a plane & are
standing in your dream location, where are you?
England. I have a map in my hand to see where the Beatles grew up.

Favorite memory-
Driving around listening to mixed cd’s with my friend Kim. She and I used to
spend lots of crazy nights doing that. Good Times.

Bucket list goal-
Going to England.

Finish this sentence-
“This time next year I will be debt-free. Manage how many albums I can buy

Jay hosts the Generation X-It Radio Hour each Monday at 8pm EST

Where do you live-
Ottawa, Canada.

Earliest musical memory-

Walking into my grade one class and seeing KISS
Destroyer on the chalkboard ledge. Some kid brought it for show & tell and
when I saw that cover the world stopped and a chorus of angels started singing.
Life changed forever that day…

First album you bought-
KISS Rock And Roll Over. (I got Destroyer for my 6th Birthday).

First concert-
Ever? The Spoons with Nash The Slash. I was 11 and my dad took us. But I don’t
count that one. My first concert alone was a year later when me and my two best
friends took the train into Toronto to see Rush at Maple Leaf Gardens. The rub?
My class had detention that day and my teacher wasn’t going to let me go. He
put it to a class vote which I won unanimously. I hated that guy. He’s in
prison now, but for something completely unrelated.

Last concert-
Pearl Jam, Canadian Tire Centre, Ottawa. The best live band on the planet.

You just got off a plane and are standing in your dream location. Where are
you?–
Maui or Los Angeles. I’ve been everywhere else that I want to go.

Favourite memory-
Anything involving my daughter. But musically, front row at Pearl Jam, Molson
Park, Barrie, and getting crushed against the metal barriers by 35,000 people,
but not caring at all. Like at all…

Bucket list goal-

Getting my band a record deal. Check us out, we are
The Apostrophe Wrecks and on YouTube and all streaming sites.

Finish this sentence-

‘This time next year…’ my band will have an album
and an EP out; it will be getting spins on radio and streaming sites and
garnering interest by industry people who can put the songs on Netflix or Hulu
or wherever…

You’re hosting a dinner with 3 artists (living and dead). Who will be there?-
Living:
Eddie Vedder
Pete Townsend
Dave Grohl (to keep us laughing)
