Rotten Radio On Causticvox! 4-30-16

The Sugarcubes & lead singer Bjork in an odd pose to say the least...

The stream flowed seamlessly this week but alas I did not.  Despite my glitches & fumbles the music was a smooth elixir.  The 1st half of the show opened with a helping of Punk, '80's New Wave, '90's Shoegaze, & a bit Indie.  Some of the featured artists included The Jam, Propaganda, The House Of Love, Kitchens Of Distinction, The Love Language, Julian Cope & Polica.  For your listening pleasure, the 1st half of the stream & the track listing is below.

The second half of the show was the true magic of the stream.  I even payed a small homage to the deceased Prince, but it was new music that was cause for celebration!  New bands Portrayal, Nu, Saltwater Sun & Labradoor all made exceptional showings, however it was Fauxknow who captured the evening for me.  I'm biased since the husband/wife duo is comprised of Kevin & Nadia Kane--two long-time supporters of Causticvox!  I know if you sample their first LP, Tactics, you'll be hooked.  The rest of the evening consisted of favorites from Camera Obscura, The Bluebells & Rialto.  Enjoy the second half of the show below!
