Another one of our heavier editions. We open up with Hot Lunch, a new band for us that commutes between San Francisco and Oakland, CA. Then we have Thee Lexington Arrows fronted by Kathleen Wilson over in Baltimore, doing a fantastic version of Gimme Shelter. Then we check out another refreshing cover, Cherry Red originally performed by Groundhogs, but this time from the new live Ty Segall album. Another killer cover in today’s show is Don Nix original in a fresh new version from Pharlee over in San Diego, CA. And the fourth cool cover is Will Anything Happen a Blondie classic this time performed by the Cleveland band Missed, fronted by Mickey Marie. We also check out their new single. And then all the way in Slovenia, we have a band with a similar name, Mist. We close with tracks from the new albums by Sad Planets and Murlocs.
