can anybody recommend good radio shows in the Tennessee?

hey I'm in Apache Chief. We're a garage punk band from Tacoma. Let's do this.

No one contacted me. Just saw it on Twitter. Thanks for the reply, though. DJ Voodoo Idol said:

Umm being a casualty of the Pirate Cat Regime, there is a lot more that you'll have to do in order to have your own radio show. I'm only saying this as a disclaimer. You'll be required to work in the cafe for FREE for three months. The cafe shift is a 5 hour shift once a week and you cannot keep your tips. On top of that, expect fines of various amounts for such things as not filling in the log, not updating your set lists in the Spinitron system, not indicating which genre of music you're playing, not posting two events posts per week, etc. There is a reason why there is such a high turnover at Pirate Cat. Wow, I wonder who contacted you to post this.

Pirate Cat Radio in San Francisco (87.9 FM) is looking for some DJs. You obviously would need to live in the Bay Area, though. They require $30/month dues and people who are committed to doing a weekly radio show. Pretty cool! Click here for the application.

Awesome. I can't wait to see this, Bon!

If anybody wants to know, this is the reason Girl Trouble has taken so long to put out another album.  We put all our efforts into making a movie.  This is the project of my local award winning nephew Isaac Olsen and GT singer K.P. Kendall.  Bass player Dale Phillips stars as private eye Rick Savage, with the rest of Girl Trouble in parts.  It was made on a shoe-string budget and took quite a bit of our energy for the last four years.  It would be best described as a film noir comedy.  Thanks! Bon/Girl Trouble

If you are in the area, don't miss this chance to see Quiet Shoes.

NEW BOMB TURKS! Livefastdie! DJs Viking Thrust & Justin Collectorscum $12, 6pm doors! PLUS! Book release party for: WE NEVER LEARN The Gunkpunk Undergut, 1988-2001 By Eric Davidson Foreword By Byron Coley

“We Never Learn shares its gory glory in a raucous account of rock at its bug-eyed funnest.” - Ira Robbins, Trouser Press “Who needs fame? Bring on the Trash!” - Jello Biafra ______________________________________ We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988–2001 is the first and only book on the last great wave of down-and-dirty rock’n’roll, one whose hangover can still be felt in bars and clubs across the globe. The book is the next chapter in the Please Kill Me/American Hardcore/Our Band Could Be Your Life succession. Musician and journalist Eric Davidson (Village Voice, CMJ, SF Bay Guardian) was there as this scene unfolded as the frontman for Ohio punks the New Bomb Turks, and he tracks the roots and history of this largely undocumented movement. This is the last generation of punks and rockers to conquer city after city without the diluting force of the Internet. The Black Lips, the late Jay Reatard, The Dirtbombs, The White Stripes, The Reigning Sound, The Hives–success stories who all sprang from an underground music scene where similarly raw bands, enjoying various degrees of success and hard luck, played in venues ranging from dive bars to massive festivals, but were mostly ignored by a music industry focused on mega-bands and shiny pop stars. These bands weren’t swept up in the “alternative rock explosion.” They played and acted like a bunch of punks, yawned at the Green Days and Offsprings of the world who were supposedly bringing “punk” to the masses, played Sonics bootlegs in their tour vans as much as Iggy Pop, the Ramones or Black Flag, and had soaked up just enough of music biz history to know that they would never be welcomed—even through the servant’s entrance. They reveled in ’50s rock’n’roll and ’60s garage rock while creating their own wave of gut-busting riffs and rhythm. The bands that populate this book–The Dwarves, Gories, Supersuckers, Mummies, Oblivians, Billy Childish, Rocket From The Crypt, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Cheater Slicks, Teengenerate among them–gained little long-term reward from their nonstop touring and brain-slapping records. What they did have was free liquor, good drugs, guilt-free sex, and a crazy good time, all the while building a dedicated fan base that extends across America, Europe, and Japan. Truly, this is the last great wave of down-and-dirty rock’n’roll, one whose hangover can still be felt in bars and clubs everywhere in the world. About The Author: Eric Davidson (Brooklyn, NY) had his share of good times as the singer of the Columbus,Ohio punk band New Bomb Turks, who have played hundreds of gigs in dozens of countries on three continents (and countless labels), but has retained enough brain cells to recall the lurid details of a scene as sprawling and multicolored as any in the history of rock’n’roll.
