Big news of the day: Strays is the new group show with Aaron, Regina, Dave and myself (@shakeappealtx@harmonyinyourhead and @complete_control_show ) - all four of us taking turns week after week to bring some of our kind of fun to the Lockhart airwaves at @radio.lockhart starting Thursday, March 19 at 8pm CST! We just might all be there for the inaugural show, so top up, tune in and turn out!
8pm CST tonight, back to the regular program with a Power Pop set! Shivers // Protex // Pointed Sticks // The Others // De Cylinders // Rezillos // MnMs and many, many more!
The Mixcloud recording of this week’s show is up. Pixies, Clash, The Church, Blackout Transmission, David Bowie, The Zombies, and much much more… link in the bio.
In this new episode of Shady Characters, we sit down with designer, musician, and community-radio music director Jeff Holmes to talk creative process, analog style, travel, and the surprising ways ideas find you. We also dig into vinyl reissues, theme-music-making, and why he built a life that leaves space to think. Fun Fact: he’s the creator of our Shady Characters theme song.

If your home team record shop doesn’t also have an inhouse micro label putting out limited edition cassettes of one-off live performances at the local theater by beloved indie acts, are you even living in the right town? @plumcreekrecordstx@futuremuseums
Heading down to @plumcreekrecordstx today to get the last piece of the puzzle for tomorrow night’s show. New day and time, looking forward to joining the stellar Thursday night @radio.lockhart lineup.
Couldn’t be more excited about this one. Our beautiful, cranky little baby is turning one, turning up and turning out! Look at that line up! Head to @radio.lockhart for more info and tix!
Besides hosting the show, it’s always a blast for me to create quick, fun, bold graphics for the episode posts. What do Lee Perry, The Clash, Bob Marley, The Slits, and Smogtown have to do with one another? Who were The Chords, Hepcat and The Swingin’ Utters?? Where else can you hear reggae and punk on Radio Lockhart??????? All is revealed in the latest show up on Mixcloud now!
These are the rarities @jasonchronis brought in for us today, starting with an unbelievably rare psych/proto-punk 45 from Austin band The Merlynn Tree (and seriously, the story of that one is amazing) and winding up with an honest-to-goodness Lockhart local on a label down in Luling! I asked, and he delivered. I’ll have the show up on Mixcloud as soon as I can, and you will not want to miss the incredibly interesting stories he had to share.
