Mick Michaels - Singer/Guitarist/Author - Corners of Sanctuary, When We Rocked

Tonight's Episode

Corners of Sanctuary singer/guitarist Mick Michaels joins Non-Stop Rock Talk to discuss what's happening with the band, but this episode goes deeper then that. Mick and Antonio Aloia have written a fantastic book about the Philadelphia rock scene back in the 80's entitled 'When We Rocked - The Philadelphia Rock Music Scene 1978 - 1992'.

Tyson and Mick do a deep dive into the book and discuss not only the bands we all know and love - Cinderella, Britny Fox, Tangier, Teeze/Roughouse and Heaven's Edge, but bands that had an impact on the scene but may not have gotten record deals or just didn't become household names - World War III, The Dead End Kids, April Fool, Seeker and Anvil Bitch all fall into that category. This interview really gives a lot of insight into what the scene was truly like.

Mick eludes to the fact that there could be another pressing of the book in the future that could include more interviews, photos etc. He also mentions there is a video documentary in the works.

The conversation also touches on the love of legendary Los Angeles band Ratt. 'Invasion of your Privacy', 'Dancing Undercover', 'Reach For The Sky' and the soundtrack song from 'Point Break' - 'Nobody Rides For Free'.

The business side of music is discussed and how so many band didn't realize that there were 'recoupable' costs when they signed their record deals.
