In Episode 232, we sat down with Wilkes-Barre event promoter Bob Maculloch, a.k.a. Bobb Mac or DJ Robair, to discuss his lifelong involvement in the past and present music and arts scene. In his first time telling many of these stories, we talked about booking shows for over 25 years (including Posi Numbers Fest, the biggest local hardcore fest ever), his time as a co-owner of underground Wilkes-Barre music venue Homebase, his role in putting out the first Cold World record and booking the first Title Fight show, running Utopia Glass Shop in Wilkes-Barre until its recent closure and how he turned the basement into its own venue called the Spacement, DJing and co-hosting the Temptation NEPA Goth Party series that continues on Friday, April 17 at Tekilas Mexican Grill in Pittston with Zeu, Edward B. Gieda III, and Materia Prima, and more.
