Today we have an interesting show, full of new experimental tunes mostly inspired by the new Levitation festival releases by Dead Meadow and Osees. Following that block we check out the new music from City of Cool and Mythic Sunship who may as well have been on Levitation line up. Warm Drag has a new single and we also check out new releases from Hedvig Mollestad Trio and Writhing Squares. We also introduce a young guitar player from Austing TX, Ally Venable who has a very interesting new tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Although she could have titled it as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix and it would still work well, if not better given the experimental feel of the piece.

Today we start off with the retro 50s sound of Crystal & Runnin’ Wild from Belgium. We follow that up with another retro band, Fever Feel lead by two brothers from Canada Landon Franklin and Logan Gabert. They are inspired by the 70s sound. Luther Russel is probably the most faithful keeper of Big Star fire. After his excellent project with Jody Stephens, Those Pretty Wrongs, he is back with te new solo record. Hedvig Mollestad is a guitar virtuoso from Norway and Crows are a new band from London. Two old-timers are back. Legendary Robin Trower has an excellent new record and so does the legendary psychedelic magicians Chocolate Watchband. Today’s show is dedicated to Boris Popović, the leader of Croatian band Running Party who passed away recently.
