When you go to college, you’re gonna have college bands. Electronica was big in the 80's, and anyone with a DX-7 gave it a shot at some point. Four "townies" (locals who attended the school) had put together various music since high school, and continued at GCC as "Syd Sustain". Ray Voltz (keyboard), John Trammell (keyboard), Chaz Owens (bass), and P.D. Gregg (drums) put out several albums (mostly distributed via dubbed cassettes) and had various gigs in and around the college and the Pittsburgh area.
My connection to this group? I did some audio-video stuff for one of their concerts at GCC and shot material for videos that never saw the light of day.
They do have a Facebook page you can find here.
Ray was generous enough to allow me to post some of their material in what will most likely be the final batch of episodes for this series.
Let’s start off with their “Volume One” EP album and four songs: "See You", "Rocket Man", "One Love", and "Running for Cover".
