This edition of Potluck features music from upcoming open-air concerts that will be taking place in Upper Austria during the month of July.
Ill be playing music from bands that you will be able to hear at the schl8hof open air 2017 in Wels, The Ahoi! The Full Hit of Summer festival in Linz, The Bigoli Party on the OK Platz in Linz and from the Wort & Klang series held in the Botanical Garden Linz.
The show includes a wide range of stiles including post-rock Texan guitars, Senegalese afro-pop, some indie-rock from Canada, alternative folk-pop from Naples Italy, as well as hip-hop Balkan reggae dub beats from Bosnia and Austria.
Last month, in part one; I played tracks from Artists that used SXSW as a platform to present their new releases.
In this edition, youll be hearing samples of some of the bands that impressed me the most. Plus 50 years "Velvet Underground and Nico" LP
SXSW (South By Southwest), the largest Pop/Rock music-showcase festival in the world, is held annually over the course of 6 days during the March Spring break in Austin Texas. I attended the 2017 SXSW Festival in Austin Texas for Radio FRO in March. This show features new material from some of my favorite performers / bands that I got to see at SXSW: Spoon, The New pornagraphers, Hippo Campus and Kate Nash as well as a short Chuck berry tribute.
This edition of Potluck will be a Women Only playlist honoring International Womens Day thats celebrated in March.
The show contains over 50 minutes of uninterrupted music. Women singing out against sexual, racial, and political oppression. Many of the songs were specifically produced as a protest against the Donald Trump regime.
There are no comments - the songs (and the women) speak for themselves.
Next month Ill be covering the week-long SXSW Music Festival held in Austin Texas for the sixth consecutive year. The first part of this show is a preview of this years up-coming Festival. Following that segment, Ill be bringing you even more songs from 1000 Days, 1000 songs project playlist. Songs written and recorded by musicians for a Trump-free America.
The end of the year is fast approaching - so its time to share with you my pick for the best Album of the year.
So what is my lieblings Album for 2016? Check out the show this Thursday at 8:00 PM and hear for yourself.
In this edition of Potluck Ill be bringing you new releases from Dawa, Ezra Furman, Regina Spektor, Honeyblood, and the Sleaford Mods
As well as a tip of the hat for Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and some musical comments on the craziness in the USA (what would Frank Zappa say about the American presidential election?).
I spent the last 10 days of August at the Edinburgh International Festival. The Edinburgh International Festival offers three weeks of world-class music, theatre, opera and dance and in the last 2 years it has be offering more upscale popular music as well.
In this show youll be hearing music from King Creosote, Youssou NDour, Alan Cumming, Anohni, Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Young Fathers
This August edition of Potluck focuses on 2016 releases from women performers. The playlist includes 14 songs released this year from new and established women artists.
Some of my favorite summer pop-rock songs along with highlights from long-gone summer festival days. Playlist includes: Janice Joplin, Fairport Convention, The Kinks, The Difters, The Who, Sly & The Family Stone and many others.
This recently released 59-track, six hour box set was curated by the brothers Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National and is a real gem.
The 3 disc LP was several years in the making. The crème de la crème from the pop-indie scene covers practically all the Dead hits.
For this show I put together a playlist of 10 songs from this epic compilation. All together making up over 55 minutes of uninterrupted music.
