Galva Mayor Rich Volkert discussed several city projects, community improvements, and upcoming events during an appearance on Wake Up Tri-Counties following the Galva City Council meeting held September 8th. One highlight of the meeting was a $35,000 donation from the Freedom Fest organization to help fund Galva's annual fireworks celebration. Volkert praised the organization and the many volunteers who spend the year holding events and meals to raise money for the fireworks. The donation included $12,000 from Berkshire Hathaway, with the remainder raised through the Freedom Fest Committee's efforts. Mayor Volkert said the continued fundraising allows the city to provide a fireworks celebration for the entire community. Road Work Continues Road improvements were also discussed, including the city's recent work on roads leading toward the high school and northeast part of Galva. The city spent approximately $250,000 on a chip-and-seal project this year. Volkert acknowledged that residents have expressed concerns about the dust and loose chips but said the work is part of a long-term strategy to maintain the roads while the city prepares for much more expensive infrastructure projects. The road from downtown toward the high school will eventually require sewer work followed by a complete road reconstruction, a project Mayor Volkert estimated could cost approximately $2.5 million. Because of those costs, the city is using chip-and-seal work to keep roads in serviceable condition until larger projects can be completed. Washington Park Fence Planned The city is also moving forward with improvements at Washington Park, including plans to install a fence around portions of the playground equipment. Mayor Volkert said the approximately $8,600 project is intended to help keep children safely away from the nearby street, which can become particularly busy when trains block traffic in the area. The city has also installed a couple of chairs at the park using funding connected to the wind farm near Bishop Hill. Wiley Park Playground Improvements Work on the new playground equipment at Wiley Park is nearing completion. Mayor Volkert said the playground improvements were selected by community members, although installation has taken longer than anticipated because of issues involving the delivery and setup of some equipment. The city hopes to have the project completed soon, weather permitting. Cemetery Cleanup Set for October Galva's annual cemetery cleanup is scheduled for October 11th, with residents asked to remove decorations by that date. Items can be placed back at the cemetery beginning October 16th. Mayor Volkert also said city workers, along with people from the Kewanee Resource Center, plan to conduct additional work on veterans' graves in October. Fall City Cleanup and Tree Sale Galva's Fall City Cleanup Week is scheduled for October 28th through October 31st. Residents are encouraged to contact City Hall in advance regarding certain pickup needs. The city is also participating in a fall tree sale through the Henry County Soil and Water Conservation District. Galva will pay half the cost of qualifying trees for residents. Residents interested in participating need to stop by City Hall and complete the necessary paperwork before the deadline. The city is also continuing its effort to inventory trees located throughout Galva as it works to maintain its designation as a Tree City. New Galva Slogan Promotes Music Mayor Volkert was also asked about the city's recently adopted slogan, "Where Music Lives, Small Town, Big Sound." He said the effort is still developing, with local organizations and John Taylor working on ways to promote the slogan and Galva's music heritage. Mayor Volkert believes the effort will become more noticeable when the community reaches the spring and summer event season again. Changes to Fireworks Ordinance One of the more significant changes discussed was Galva's updated fireworks ordinance. Under the new rules, sparklers will not be permitted on public property, including city parks. Residents may still use sparklers on their own private property. More significantly, violations of the fireworks ordinance will now be treated as a misdemeanor, rather than simply resulting in a warning-type ticket. Mayor Volkert said the changes were prompted by growing concerns over fireworks being discharged for extended periods before and after the Fourth of July holiday, sometimes late into the night and near other residents' homes. He said the city wants to prevent potential fires and injuries while also addressing concerns from elderly residents, families, and pet owners. Reminder to Drivers as School Year Begins Mayor Volkert also urged motorists to use extra caution around Galva schools now that students are back in session. Drivers should obey posted speed limits and remain alert for children walking, riding bicycles or using scooters and other devices. He said the city is also looking at ways to educate younger students about safety around streets and traffic. Residents with questions about the projects, cleanup schedules, or other city business are encouraged to contact Galva City Hall for additional information.

Galva Mayor Rich Volkert recently joined Ken Peel on Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss several topics from the latest Galva City Council meeting, including a new city slogan, upcoming road work, playground improvements, and a potential review of the city's fireworks regulations. One of the biggest announcements from the meeting was the adoption of a new slogan for the City of Galva: “Where Music Lives, Small Town, Big Sound.” Volkert explained that Galva was once known as “The City of Go,” a title coined years ago by George Helgeson Fitch, a well-known writer associated with Knox College who was also involved in broadcasting. The new slogan reflects Galva's growing reputation as a music destination, particularly through events such as the Levitt AMP Galva Music Series, Backroads, and other musical performances held throughout the community. Volkert credited Mike and Jane Martin, who have been active in Galva's music scene, with helping develop the new slogan. The City Council officially adopted it during its recent meeting. The city is also working on merchandise, including T-shirts and other items featuring the new branding. Road Work Planned for August Volkert also reminded residents about upcoming road work scheduled for August 12th through August 15th. Henry County crews are expected to conduct chip-and-oil work in the northeast portion of Galva, extending from North Center Avenue east toward the water plant and railroad tracks. The mayor asked residents in the affected area to take precautions during the project, including avoiding parking on the streets where the work is taking place and refraining from blowing grass clippings into the roadway. “We don't want to oil anybody's cars,” Volkert said, emphasizing the importance of keeping the work area clear so crews can complete the project properly. City Reviewing Fireworks Regulations Another issue discussed during the council meeting involved Galva's fireworks regulations. Volkert said the city's fireworks ordinance has not been updated since 1980. Following concerns raised after this year's Fourth of July celebrations, city officials are considering whether changes may be appropriate. The mayor said the city wants residents to continue enjoying the Fourth of July while also addressing safety and quality-of-life concerns associated with fireworks being discharged for extended periods. “We want the Fourth to be a great celebration,” Volkert said. “We want everybody to have a good time. But we're going to take a look at what we can do.” Volkert said the city does not intend to rush into changes. The police chief and city attorney are expected to work on possible recommendations before the matter is brought back to the City Council. He said any potential changes would likely not be decided until sometime next year. Playground Project Continues Galva's new playground equipment was also discussed. Volkert said residents have questioned why the equipment has not yet been completely installed. He explained that the playground was selected by a committee of local citizens, but the project has experienced delays because not all of the necessary parts have arrived. About two-thirds of the playground is complete and available for use, and the city hopes to finish the remaining work within the next month or sooner. Volkert also noted that the city continues to work on various projects and issues while maintaining communication with residents. He encouraged Galva residents to contact City Hall when they notice problems or have concerns so officials can address them as quickly as possible.

Interview by Ali WilliamsBeing a Perth band with East Coast ambitions requires several things: good songs, patience, a tolerant bank account and an acceptance that Australia is ludicrously large when you are paying to move musicians and their gear around it. GLOAM know this very well. Founding member Rowan Hardy sat down with HEAVY'S Ali Williams to chat about the bands beginnings and their progress leading into their BIGSOUND debut. The Perth outfit are heading to Brisbane to share their sound with the East Coast, an opportunity that Rowan admits the band has barely had the opportunity to explore. They made the journey across the country last year, but BIGSOUND brings something considerably more useful than another isolated interstate show. For several days, an enormous chunk of the Australian music industry will be crammed into Fortitude Valley, and GLOAM plan on making full use of the situation. There is excitement, certainly, but Hardy isn't approaching the week with a clipboard full of career objectives and a rehearsed networking face. He is just as keen to see other bands, naming Indigo Blaze, blue diner. and Win Big among those already on his radar. For a band geographically removed from much of the national touring circuit, simply being in the same postcode as artists they respect has value.Full interview and write up heavymag.com.auBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Ali WilliamsCalling a band TEENS does leave you open to a few fairly obvious questions, particularly when nobody involved can reasonably blame puberty for their decision-making anymore. Thankfully, Tasmania's TEENS are well aware of this. The name has survived longer than originally anticipated, having been hacked down from the considerably more cumbersome Teens of Thailand lifted from a Desert Sessions song. Shawn Arnold admits the original was “really cringe”, while the eventual decision to stick with TEENS appears to have been made with considerably less ceremony. “All band names are a bit shit,” he reasons, “so we'll just stick with it.” Fair enough. Problem solved. Behind the compact name is a Hobart-based band that has quietly spent the past few years tightening its current line-up, building a catalogue and developing a live reputation strong enough to earn a place among this year's BIGSOUND artists. For a Tasmanian band, that opportunity carries a little extra weight. The mainland isn't simply an afternoon drive away, and touring regularly involves handing an alarming portion of the budget to whoever happens to own an aircraft.Full interview and write up heavymag.com.auBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Ali WilliamsThere are band names that require an explanation. Then there is CATPISS, a name that mostly requires people to stop laughing long enough to ask the question. For Newcastle guitarist Jacob Dewberry and his bandmates, there was no tortured artistic manifesto behind it. Their drummer found inspiration in the deeply intellectual halls of Facebook meme culture, where a collection of stupid band names provided the necessary spark. Somewhere in that nonsense, CATPISS was born.Jacob's grandmother isn't a fan of the name but that probably confirms they made the right choice. Names aside, CATPISS have plenty worth paying attention to, particularly with the Newcastle punk outfit heading to Brisbane for BIGSOUND, where they will join a substantial crop of Australian artists getting the chance to show exactly what they can do in front of audiences, industry and anyone prepared to sacrifice sleep for several days of live music.For Jacob, simply making the BIGSOUND cut still feels slightly ridiculous. “It's massive,” he admits. “I can't believe that we got through for it, really.” The disbelief is genuine, but CATPISS haven't wandered into the opportunity by accident. Four years of playing, writing, releasing music and putting genuine effort behind the band has built them steadily from a fairly loose beginning into something with considerably more weight behind it.Full interview and write up heavymag.com.auBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Ali WilliamsThere are plenty of ways to introduce yourself at BIGSOUND. L.O.W have chosen the wonderfully uncomplicated option of turning up with five members, a stack of hardcore songs and absolutely no intention of pretending they belong on the polite end of the program.For a band that has spent just over two and a half years building itself out of Wollongong, landing a place on Australia's biggest music industry showcase is a considerable step. For bassist Luka Flanagan, it also comes with the odd experience of attending BIGSOUND from the opposite side of the fence. Flanagan has been there before through his day job in music, but this time there will be an instrument involved.“I've been to BIGSOUND a few times through work,” he tells HEAVY, explaining that being there as an artist rather than an industry attendee will be an entirely different exercise. That change of perspective is significant for L.O.W, particularly because hardcore bands are hardly flooding the BIGSOUND timetable. Flanagan is well aware of it too, happily describing L.O.W as one of the event's token heavy acts.Full interview and write up heavymag.com.auBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Mayor Volkert joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss the carbon capture moratorium, playground equipment, a new police vehicle, and reelection. Galva Mayor Rich Volkert says the City of Galva is moving ahead on several major priorities following a packed council meeting. Council members approved an appropriation ordinance for the 2026-2027 fiscal year and unanimously backed Henry County's moratorium on carbon sequestration projects, citing safety questions and the need for more information. Volkert also addressed ambulance response concerns, police vehicle replacement, and more than 100 local ordinance violations. On growth, he pointed to business retention, a planned housing development east of the park district, new playground equipment, solar projects, and efforts to brand Galva as “Where Music Lives” and “Small Town, Big Sound.”

Flynn Gurry is an Australian singer-songwriter. His brand new single and music video Bones is now out plus he has an incredible new EP Gold. To commemorate the upcoming release of Gold, Flynn will also embark on a tour (currently on) set to stun with his unforgettable live show that has previously seen 4ZZZ praise him as "a charismatic performer who knows how to engage an audience". Raised against the coastal backdrop of Warrnambool, Victoria, Flynn Gurry has catapulted from busking on Melbourne streets through to performing with the likes of Ian Moss, King Stingray, Ash Grunwald and Kim Churchill as a solo artist, while also relentlessly enamouring with his sparkling acoustic guitarwork, magnetic pop sensibilities, honeyed vocals and folk-hued charm. Winning triple j Unearthed's One Night Stand competition in 2024, which saw him perform alongside G Flip, Ruel, What So Not and many more in his hometown Warrnambool, Flynn has since ticked off being a triple j Unearthed feature artist, supported The Dreggs and Pierce Brothers nationally. He has appeared onstage at the likes of Beyond The Valley Festival, Port Fairy Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival and BIGSOUND, signed with Cult Artists for bookings and Woolstore Music, aka the management company helmed by indie folk icons Pierce Brothers, and inked a deal with ABC Records in 2025. A timeless artist and storyteller with a sharp sense of identity and modern allure, Flynn Gurry's music has continued to find him in demand both at home and on overseas stages. But in 2026, another spectacular chapter will take flight via the release of Gold, and, as Flynn concludes, these are songs geared to stay with you long after the stage lights have dimmed. We chat about busking and the national busking championships, his new EP + bones, his great imagination, intuition, playing music for his dad, collaboration plus plenty more!

[2025 Addendum….sorry for the long-winded] Our second of three reruns which we're releasing for July, and second of three reruns celebrating the memory of Masters of VGM (“MoVGM”), and the second of three of my bids to drum up excitement for the “VGM Hall of Fame” (“HoF”)  series spearheaded by Alex “The Messenger” Messenger of “A VGM Journey” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/a-vgm-journey), Professor Tom from “Shujin Academy VGM Club” (https://terraplayer.com/shows/shujin-academy-vgm-club), and myself (as well as any other shows which have elected to join us in the time since my drafting this on July 2nd) is just one of, this time, four contributions we made to the series that year. I'll share links to the other three below, as well as two other bonus links which are acutely relevant to two of them (as well as to C1E96, our “fresh episode” from last month). The Theme of 2023's MoVGM was sort of the opposite of the year prior. 2022's theme was a celebration of “big named composers”, like Yuzo Koshiro or Nobuo Uematsu, or The Follin Brothers and so on. Names that probably EVERYBODY already knows, 2023's theme was “unsung and undersung composers”. Names that were not nearly as well-known as they should be. And so, our Channel 2 contribution followed the same format and design philosophy of our 2022, only with the opposite theme. It's a little longer, though, because in addition to the same “four and four” as before, we added a ninth and final pair - tracks by unknown composers”. Production notes on this episode relative to the 2022 rerun: by this time, two major changes had happened: 1) I had upgraded from the $100 RODE Podmic I had been using to the current $400 Shure SM7B that I use today, and 2) I had started actively editing out “Umm”s from our conversation. I can't guarantee that I caught every single one of them. But they'll certainly be much less present and much less invasive. It still won't rise to the level of a 2025 production (and sounds a little worse with the SM7B's presence boost turned on at the time, which I've since turned off), but it comes appreciably closer than C2E8. Links to the other 2023 Nerd Noise Radio MoVGM contributions: C1E76: “The Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 2” (originally released 06/01/2023 - the episode which kicked off MoVGM 2023 at large): https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e76-the-big-sound-of-the-little-guy--vol-2   Ch F: “Highlights from ‘Stray'” (originally released 06/29/2023): https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/channel-f-highlights-fromstray-masters-of-vgm   Ch F: Composer Mini-Focus: rayjkayj (originally released  07/26/2023 - also, this might've been the final MoVGM 2023 episode as well, meaning, I might've gotten to provide both “bookends” to that year's celebration!) https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/channel-f-composer-minifocus-rayjkayj-masters-of-vgm   Lastly, two bonus links which relate to the above: 1) C1E30: Big Sound of the Little Guy - vol. 1 (originally released 09/14/2018 - apologies for the atrocious production quality and anemic intro, but the music collection itself is GREAT!) - not only is this obviously relevant to C1E76 above, but it's also relevant to last month's C1E96, which was (unofficially, but for all intents and purposes) “Big Sound of the Little Guy vol 3”: https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/nerd-noise-radio-channel-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-podcast-c1e30-the-big-sounds-of-the-little-guy-vol-1   2) C1E73: “UNKAYJ THE RAYJ” (originally released ) - guest-hosted by rayjkayj himself, the above minifocus on rayjkayj was comprised of outtakes from this original episode: https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/ch-1-noise-from-the-hearts-of-nerds-c1e73-unkayj-the-rayj …and with that, I'll leave you with C2E13: “Songs of the Unsung” (originally released 07/06/2023) - a title which I came up with, and if we're being honest, I'm probably WAY too proud of!). :-D Enjoy!   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes: Today's broadcast, for Theme Thursday, July 6th, 2023 is an episode of the Masters of VGM - season 2 (www.mastersofvgm.com) and is a focus on music from unsung and undersung composers - on an episode we're calling “Songs of the Unsung”.   Tracklist:   01) John's 1st composer (of 4): C418 (aka Daniel Rosenfeld)   John's Track: Dreiton - Minecraft - Multiplatform Earcatcher - 00:00:00 Music - 00:00:07 Introduction - 00:08:16 Top of the Show pt 1 - 00:09:12 Discussion - 00:12:00 Top of the Show pt 2 - 00:14:19 Hugues' Track: Enforcer Brittanica - Catacomb Snatch - PC Music - 00:28:44 Discussion - 00:32:23   02) Hugues' 1st composer: Takahiko Abe   Hugues' Track: Templo del Sol - Asuteka II - PC88 Music - 00:37:18: Discussion - 00:39:31 John's Track: Machi - Susanoou Densetsu - PC Engine Music - 00:46:36 Discussion - 00:48:24   03) John's 2nd composer: Soichi Terada   John's Track: Subspace 2 - Fantavision 202X - PC Music - 00:56:06 Discussion - 00:59:27 Hugues' Track: TV Tower - Ape Escape on the Loose - PSP Music - 01:03:30 Discussion - 01:06:54   04) Hugues' 2nd composer: Katsumi Tanaka   Hugues' Track: Memories of Puyo Puyo - Puyo Puyo CD - PC Engine Music - 01:11:09 Discussion - 01:13:25 John's Track: Black Hole Anomalies - Space Megaforce - SNES Music - 01:19:17 Discussion - 01:21:41   05) John's 3rd composer: Hikoshi Hashimoto   John's Track: Zena Lan (Heavily Armored) - Cosmic Carnage - 32X Music - 01:23:57 Discussion - 01:25:50 Hugues' Track: Halftime - Pat Riley Basketball - Genesis Music - 01:31:15 Discussion - 01:31:47   06) Hugues' 3rd composer: Toshio Murai   Hugues' Track: Office  Theme - Wall Street Kid - NES Music - 01:37:29 Discussion - 01:39:16 John's Track: Stage 6 - Cyber Core - PC Engine Music - 01:43:31 Discussion - 01:45:01   07) John's 4th composer: Joris de Man   John's Track: Eternal Conceit - Horizon Forbidden West - PS4 / PS5 Music - 01:48:22 Discussion - 01:53:09 Hugues' Track: Violet's Theme - Black Belt Challenge - GBA Music - 02:02:56 Discussion - 02:04:59   08) Hugues' 4th composer: Yoshihiko Miyazaki   Hugues' Track: Search Break - JB Harold Murder Club - PC88 Music - 02:10:56 Discussion - 02:12:43 John's Track: Dream of the Murder - Manhattan Requiem - LaserActive Music - 02:18:37 Discussion - 02:21:011   09) BONUS: “Unknown composers”!!!   John's Track: Login Screen - N/A (System Music) - PS5 Music - 02:24:25 Discussion - 02:27:28 End of show discussion - 02:31:12 Masters of VGM shout-out - 02:34:26 Closing track Discussion - 02:36:13 Sign-off - 02:39:39 Hugues' Track: Track 5 - Hyper Catalog - PC Engine Music - 02:39:48 Masters of VGM earcatcher (feat.

Derek Shulman was at the heart of two great transformations – Simon Dupree & the Big Sound switching to psychedelia, and then sensing the prog-rock trade winds and becoming Gentle Giant. One minute he was singing Kites, the next Pantagruel's Nativity (Gentle Giant's rebooted ‘Playing The Fool: The Complete Live Experience' is just out). After which he was a record label president signing Bon Jovi, Slipknot and Nickelback and rebooting AC/DC and Bad Company. It's a phenomenal story and involves …   … three pieces of advice for any band today. … playing the ‘64 circuit in his R&B band the Roadrunners. … the fictitious character he invented as Simon Dupree. … when Dudley Moore was their session pianist. … memories of Marc Bolan (“flat on his back playing guitar”), Tony Iommi, Tony Visconti, Don Arden, Gerry Bron and “the English mob”. … what they borrowed from Traffic in the Great Psychedelic Scare of 1967.  … auditioning for George Martin and the lab-coated sound engineers at Abbey Road. … being phoned on a ship returning from Sweden to be told ‘Kites' was Top Twenty and doing Top Of The Pops with Status Quo and the Kinks. … “cars and bags of jewels”: the advantage of being “the darlings of the Isle of Wight Mafia” (which included the Krays). … watching Bowie recording The Man Who Sold The World at Trident. … Elton John's advice that helped form Gentle Giant. … the catastrophic US tour with Black Sabbath (on their “chemical romance”) where the audience threw cherry-bombs onstage: “you learnt how to work a crowd!” … George Underwood's cover for the first Gentle Giant album. … what he saw in Slipknot and why he signed them. You can order GENTLE GIANT – PLAYING THE FOOL: THE COMPLETE LIVE EXPERIENCE here: https://gentlegiantuk.lnk.to/PTFFind out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
