Welcome to Barrence Whitfield & Sal Baglio’s Giant Rocket Roll Show!
East Boston-bred Sal Baglio has been a leading light of the Boston rock scene ever since he formed The Stompers in the late 1970s. Along with his vaunted rock and roll project, The Amplifier Heads and soul dynamo vocalist Barrence Whitfield, they unleash a barnstorming, rabble-rousing, barroom throwdown of tunes about an alien invasion. It’s the title track to the soundtrack of “Songs From They Came To Rock,” Executive Producer Norty Cohen’s immersive rock opera about an alien invasion that first debuted in Nashville three years ago, detailing a story about extraterrestrials coming to Earth – which they call The Vinyl Frontier – in search of the type of music heard through static and noise on their radio. Who are they, and what do they want?
Ready to rock out, the aliens have now landed close to home, as the pair of longtime Boston music scene veterans – known for work that spans decades: Baglio first in rock scene pioneers The Stompers; Whitfield dominating stages across New England fronting The Savages – come together for a fiery and attention-grabbing single that sets a loud tone for the 10-song, eight interlude soundtrack.
The rocket-fueled band behind Sal and Barrence is The Amplifier Heads featuring Marty Richards on drums, Brad Hallen on bass & Dan Kopko on guitar & vocals.
