Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I was doing some research yesterday on Morgan Wallen. I
- 0:02Speaker 1: didn't know the dude was on NBC's The Voice. Did
- 0:05Speaker 1: you know that? Season 14. See, that's the reason why
- 0:09Speaker 1: we've created this channel called That Voice on Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net.
- 0:15Speaker 1: You just never know where these people from The Voice
- 0:17Speaker 1: are going to end up. Just ask Morgan Wallen. A-R-R-O-E.net.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Look for That Voice. Enjoy your exploration. Missed Opportunity. I
- 0:29Speaker 1: love sharing conversations. Hosting them means a lot of show prep.
- 0:33Speaker 1: My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests, and what you
- 0:37Speaker 1: don't have access to are my missed opportunities. I mean,
- 0:39Speaker 1: the show prep was 100% completed. The conversation, eh, didn't happen.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I keep all of my notes because I believe that
- 0:47Speaker 1: paths will one day cross again. Let me explain Missed Opportunity.
- 0:51Speaker 1: It's my questions and statements without their answers. I'm leaving
- 0:55Speaker 1: open enough space at the end of every question hoping
- 0:58Speaker 1: they'll download the talk and insert their answers. It's happened
- 1:02Speaker 1: nine times. Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.
- 1:06Speaker 1: It's like a message in a bottle that's been tossed
- 1:08Speaker 1: out to sea with every hope of one day locating
- 1:12Speaker 1: a destination. This week we're putting focus on my missed
- 1:15Speaker 1: opportunity with Mark from the band Streetcar Revenge. Okay, the
- 1:20Speaker 1: band is called Streetcar Revenge. They formed in 2022 from
- 1:24Speaker 1: the ashes of another band called Scam. And right from
- 1:28Speaker 1: the very beginning, their job and what they wanted to
- 1:30Speaker 1: do was write and record great heavy rock that was
- 1:33Speaker 1: pretty much reminiscent of the 1980s and 90s rock era.
- 1:37Speaker 1: I mean, no formulas or imitations. The band's first album
- 1:41Speaker 1: echoed such rock influences while carrying out their own sound. Yeah,
- 1:45Speaker 1: they got their big hair rock. And it's come with
- 1:47Speaker 1: the grit and the experimenting that many alternative bands love
- 1:52Speaker 1: to do. Now, the debut album was based on the
- 1:55Speaker 1: name of the band, Streetcar Revenge. And critics in 2025
- 1:58Speaker 1: said they delivered everything they needed to do when it
- 2:02Speaker 1: came to formulating their own classic rock in a modern message.
- 2:05Speaker 1: It was timeless music. and solid with a great attitude. Now,
- 2:09Speaker 1: the band itself hails from New York and Brass City, Connecticut.
- 2:15Speaker 1: As for the conversation, it was going to be with
- 2:17Speaker 1: bass guitarist Mark Gaudiosi, who was scheduled to unfold his
- 2:22Speaker 1: talk on August 11, 2025 at 2 p.m. Eastern. I mean,
- 2:25Speaker 1: the Zoom link was hooked up. We were on our way, right?
- 2:30Speaker 1: You would think, and it's always memorable at this point
- 2:33Speaker 1: because you never know what's going to happen with these bands.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And here we were in the center of the summer
- 2:38Speaker 1: of 2025. Their biggest attractions on YouTube have been the
- 2:42Speaker 1: songs Little Piggies as well as Satellite. I'll Come Running
- 2:46Speaker 1: and Rock and Roll Salute. Now, since our extremely close
- 2:49Speaker 1: talk in 2025, there have been some changes to the band.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Rich Donnelly has been replaced by Rick Dunn on lead vocals. Now,
- 2:57Speaker 1: Rich comes from a foreigner tribute band. The group has
- 3:00Speaker 1: also enjoyed their album being released in Japan, which has
- 3:04Speaker 1: got to be an amazing feeling. And that's what's happening
- 3:07Speaker 1: as they grow with their legacy. Now, coming up next,
- 3:10Speaker 1: I've got the questions without their answers. The name of
- 3:14Speaker 1: the group, once again, is Streetcar Revenge. Hey, thanks for
- 3:20Speaker 1: coming back to Missed Opportunity. My Missed Opportunity this week
- 3:23Speaker 1: is with Mark from Streetcar Revenge. These are my questions
- 3:27Speaker 1: without their answers. Your favorite place to write. Everybody has
- 3:32Speaker 1: a zone they like to step into. What's yours? Do
- 3:36Speaker 1: you like that metal is a little bit more underground
- 3:40Speaker 1: these days? It seems like even during the days of
- 3:42Speaker 1: Led Zeppelin, it was the mysterious touch that musicians put
- 3:46Speaker 1: on the music that made it so great. What happens
- 3:49Speaker 1: when it suddenly becomes popular again? You took shape shortly
- 3:54Speaker 1: after the curve of the COVID lockdown. Did you enter
- 3:57Speaker 1: this in one of those moments of, this is us now,
- 4:00Speaker 1: let's do it now, jump off the cliff, make it happen? Dude,
- 4:05Speaker 1: I love the cover art. This is what I call
- 4:07Speaker 1: a tattoo in the making. Somebody's going to be sporting
- 4:09Speaker 1: this thing around. Are you taking the band out on
- 4:12Speaker 1: the road? I mean, to push this sound forward? digging
- 4:17Speaker 1: the video satellite men and their machines and it doesn't
- 4:21Speaker 1: always work out right who came up with this concept
- 4:25Speaker 1: now we got to know who is the woman in
- 4:27Speaker 1: the video we got to give her some attention as
- 4:29Speaker 1: well you've got a message inside your music i mean
- 4:33Speaker 1: people are going to sing along here but are they
- 4:35Speaker 1: gripping the story that comes with those lyrics Come on,
- 4:40Speaker 1: we can be very honest here. Song hooks have disappeared
- 4:43Speaker 1: from today's music, but you guys are changing that in
- 4:46Speaker 1: a huge way. This isn't about formulas. You have a
- 4:51Speaker 1: version and a path to create as well as follow.
- 4:54Speaker 1: You are setting the tone right now. Writing music today,
- 4:59Speaker 1: it comes from the soul. So what is your rock
- 5:02Speaker 1: chapters really pasting onto our hearts? You got to give
- 5:06Speaker 1: me an inside secret here. What are you guys doing
- 5:08Speaker 1: to master those harmonies? Those things don't just happen. That
- 5:12Speaker 1: right there is a lot of togetherness and understanding what
- 5:15Speaker 1: other people's voices are doing. And there you have it.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Another missed opportunity. It is a lost piece of history.
- 5:22Speaker 1: You now know the questions, so now we've got to
- 5:25Speaker 1: get the answers. I mean, the door is always going
- 5:27Speaker 1: to be open. Streetcar Revenge. The bass guitarist is Mark.
- 5:33Speaker 1: If you're him, or if you know him, we've got
- 5:35Speaker 1: to talk. ArrowC at gmail.com. That's A-R-R-O-E-C at gmail.com. And
