Radio - Sunday, July 31st, 2016

DS 13 were in town in the spring (May 17th) which was very surprising to me because the band broke up in 2001 and had not been heard of since. Having been pen pals with Christoffer, the bass player, I wrote to line up an interview which we did before their show. I got to speak with all four of them (Andre, Jonas, Frederik, and Chris) before the show. You can listen to the show on the player above or download an MP3 file of the show here.

These next sets are inspired by current events. The first one happened last Sunday when Portugal won the Euro marking the first time they had ever won an international soccer tournament. This city lit up with the large Portuguese communities and Scott Free, who is one of the hosts of Prophecy, his wife is from Porto, the same place where Dokuga are from. I read in interview in a recent issue of MRR with Dokuga in which they talked about other great bands from Portugal, which is where this set was inspired.

The Scenics are a first wave punk band from Toronto that started in 1976. They appeared at the Last Pogo, they were favorites of many influential people in the scene like Gary Topp and Colin Brunton, they were hated by many others for not fitting into a certain punk sound taking their cues from the Velvet Underground, Pere Ubu, Talking Heads, Television and bands like that. They are playing next Saturday, but we were able to speak with Andy, Ken and Mark this morning about the Scenics, Don Mills, New Wave, the Scenics Cave, Mystery Train, Punk Haiku, and early Toronto punk. They were one of the first punk bands to be labelled as outsider punk and now that is the style of punk that leads today's scene. You can download an MP3 of the show here.
