Radio - Sunday, August 1st, 2021

Tonight’s show starts out with a proper tribute to George Higton of the EXISTERS with memories from Barrie Farrell and clips from the 2007 interview with Greg Dick. We have new material from GAUZE, FILTHY RADICALS, CULTURE SHOCK, and BOOTLICKER. We play classics from the STRANGLERS, DISCHARGE, and THE NUBS. And a little known local band named RUBBER GIRLFRIEND is our demo feature. Download the show here.

Last week we did a brief tribute to George Higton of the Existers because we found out about his passing just before the show. George passed away on July 15th and we had a chance to speak with Barrie Farrell who was co-founder of the Existers this past week to tell us about his friend starting off with a bit about the band.
