anok speaks the truth!

As you may already be aware, PBS' annual Radio Festival is underway. That means special shows, lots of prizes and hopefully lots of people taking out PBS memberships (hint, hint).
It's also Makeshift Swahili's fourth birthday today, if that makes you feel any more generous...

Tonight from midnight -2am, I'll be bringing you part one of my Australian underground rock special - a selection of now seldom-heard sounds from the Australian rock underground of the 1980s, mostly skewed towards the the Black Eye / Aberrant crowd and their ilk. Groove to the bent and mutilated rock emanating from the likes of Grong Grong, Feedtime, Fungus Brains, Lubricated Goat, King Snake Roost, Bloodloss, Slub, The Primevils, Thug, Venom P. Stinger, etc.

Next week (Monday 17th July):
Part 2 of the Oz Rock Underground special - the 1990's. A bit of premature nostalgia on my part featuring many of my favourite Australian bands from that decade. Once again, bands that are now extinct and out of print and thus rarely heard on radio.

mmmmm Grong Grong, now there's a fun band! I have some cassette that's a complete hoot.

now.

shit! i completely forgot. i am still eating dinner...

Hi mswahili, i'm streaming this from the UK!

Hello, neglected thread.

Audio links for the old website (as posted above) won't work anymore - please contact me if you'd like to hear any of them. The new PBS website is a vast improvement, though. More recent playsheets, audio, (and gig guide) can be found at:
www.pbsfm.org.au/makeshift

I'll be updating tonight's playsheet as the show goes to air. Feel free to log into the site and post comments, requests etc.

tonight:
Women
No Age
The New Flesh
Nu Sensae
Total Abuse
Zeni Geva
GNAUMGN
Grouper
Scattered Order
Andrew Clare
Libraness
Salli Lunn
Drinking Woman
Shipping News

I do so wish you were on earlier :[

No Makeshift Swahili tonight - in fact no more MS on Monday nights at all!

From this week onwards I'll be in a new timeslot: Thursday evenings (or Friday Mornings) 12 midnight - 2am.

Doesn't look like they'll ever give you an earlier timeslot ms.

I've never been under any illusions there, djb. Pretty sure I'd have to start playing soul and r'n'b for that to happen, haha.

Anyway... Tonight! Sounds of some description!

Tonight at midnight:

Dane Certificate pays PBS a visit to plug his new album (launch this Saturday folks) and possibly make some noises into the studio mics.

Following that, more sounds from:

92 км
War Pigs
Nth Wheel
Ulaan Khol
Lee Ranaldo
Watery Love
3 Toed Sloth
I'm Being Good
Deity Guns/ Bästard
True Radical Miracle
Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments

tops

I do so wish you were on earlier :[

DITTO.
