Weekly shows from regalradio.net – listen live on Thursdays from 16.00-18.00pm GMT.
Small names even by our standards – Poster Paints lead us off in a Hallowe’en non-special with Scunner and My Name is Ian hopefully adding scenes of mild terror to a playlist which also includes some mysteriously pseudonymed acts and a couple of artists whose names begin with ‘Q’. Curiouser and curiouser…
Big names by our standards: John Cale and Ballboy to start, then Conscious Route, Limo Cunningham, James Yorkston with Nina Persson, Darren Hayman, Michael Timmons, Chris Connelly, Archers of Loaf, plus Aidan Moffat in a new guise.
An hour of the best new and hopefully unfamiliar sounds including Deadletter, Starry Skies, Post Coal Prom Queen, Fenella, Dutch Wine, and The Orchids
Including The Artists Formerly Known As… Smog, Germlin, Okkervill River, Thee Moths, Die Krupps, The Starlets, and various former members of Microdisney, Compulsion, Hoboken, The Starlets
Featuring new releases from Anna B Savage, Popup, Nightingales, Smashing Pumpkins and Prolapse, plus Nunny Boy, Lewis McLaughlin, Quiet as a Mouse and Have Mercy, Las Vegas…
For reasons unknown, a rather electronically-slanted show, with John Carpenter, Stephen McLaren, Blancmange, Chris Connelly, Fenella, Callum Easter, Herman Dune, Makeness, Skelf, The Big Moon, and Conformist.
Back from a holiday hiatus, we also welcome back Unkle Bob and Night Noise Team, plus deliver new tunes from Vanishing Twin, Telefis, Los Bitchos, Sorry, Poster Paints, Dutch Wine and Lambchop, amongst many others.
All packed into an hour-long extravaganza are Hot Chip, Louise Connell, They Might Be Giants, Celestial North, Pictish Trail, Blush Club, The Big Moon, Lisbet Russo, Made Kuti, Lloyd’s House, The Mysterines, a Porridge Radio/Joanna Gruesome supergroup, and (yes) MUCH MUCH MORE!
Seven months early for St David’s Day, we do have by some odd coincidence a glut of Welsh music on the show – John Cale, Dub War, JOhn Mouse and Gruff Rhys – as well as new tunes from Port Sulphur, Charlie Clark, The Offspring, and Elton John (with Yard Act).
Nostalgia rules with re-releases from Orbital and Barry Adamson, a Townes van Zandt cover, a (new) cover by the Bluebells, and in the young hip and trendy category, the latest from The Murder Capital, Popcorn Fiend, Arbo, The Tropicanas, and Dry Cleaning.
