Sunday was a rough day in terms of weather out here in LA, but we had a great show, solid new tunes from The Strange Boys, Real Estate, M.E.D. and classic reissues from Mike James Kirkland, Joni Haastrup, Creations Unlimited and more. Hour #2 starts off with a fantastic interview and performance from the OC’s Boogaloo Assassins (separate post coming!). After hearing the 6 (!!!) songs they performed for us, I simply can’t wait for their actual recordings!!! Enjoy the show, next week we have a tribute to Jimi Hendrix!
