Strip District
"Radio Moscow came about a few years back in a Story City, Iowa basement.
The First version of Radio Moscow began as a solo project by Parker
called Garbage Composal. At this time the sound was very raunchy
mid-sixties-ish garage rock heavily influenced by the hidden gems and
bands on the nuggets comps, yet still sounding very much its own. Parker
recorded one albums worth of the Garbage Composal Demos under the new
name Radio Moscow."
The band hits Pittsburgh next Tuesday at the Pub sharing the bill with Memphis' Dirty Streets. My thanks to frontman Parker Griggs for participating in this edition of First/Last.
The first album you ever bought?
Silverchair's “Frogstomp” when I was around 10 probably. I was really into the blossoming grunge/alternative scene as a young kid.

Least favorite/most disappointing
album?
Hmmmm...I was a really big fan of The Seeds and then was very disappointed by their “A Spoonful of Seedy Blues” album. Also Blue Cheers' 3rd album was quite disappointing after “Outside Inside”.

Any thoughts, experiences about

Thanks, Parker. If there ever was a perfect combination of venue and music, it's yours and the Pub!
