KRAB KORNER: Meathead’s Bright Idea!
The morning show’s Big Kahuna invites you to submit your music, not noise.

By Meathead, Bakotopia.com contributor

Bakersfield is about to go through a local music boom.  

It seems like the once popular, then stale scene is on a rebound and I for one am very excited.

Will we see more acts from Kern County make it in the music industry? I think we will. And I think it will be sooner than later.

I am proud to say that KRAB Radio will once again be giving local bands a chance to be heard.

What does a chance mean? Don’t expect to get radio play just because you are in a band. If you’ve been together a week and recorded a song on a handheld recorder, you’re probably not going to hear yourself on the radio. If you decide that you want to scream at the top of your lungs about how mommy and daddy treat you poorly, you’re probably not going to hear yourself on the radio. After all they’re called “songs” - not screams.

Now if you feel like you’ve got a song that can be heard on KRAB, by all means send it our way. If you took the time and recorded a track properly in either a home or pro studio and your music falls under the “alternative rock/pop” genre banner, then there is a good chance you’ll get some airplay on Sunday nights. And if you are really good and have that one hit, you may hear your band even more than that.

Nowadays, not only can you hear local music, thanks to Brighthouse Networks, you can now watch local music as well.

During the weekend of Aug. 15, the “Funhouse Rock Fest” had a line up of 13 great local bands, all of which can be seen now FREE on Brighthouse Networks “On Demand.”

Grab your remote, pop open a cold one, and check out bands - The Silence Club, The Dusk Devils, Weightless For Atlas, War of State, Shilo, Fatt Katt & The Von Zippers, Hayesfield, Backup Johnny, Dub Seeds, rapper G-Smoke, Myopus, Vlad Author, and Don’t Panic Just Dance.

All of these bands mentioned have their own live mini concerts available to watch 24/7, and more will be coming soon.

My goal is to get as many Bakersfield bands on TV as possible. Every few months look out for a Meatydish Production, we’re always getting more local content for Brighthouse - be it live music, comedy or variety.

Make sure to send your music to:
KRAB Radio, 1100 Mohawk St. Ste. 280
Bakersfield, Ca 93309
