This week it's all about keeping it local with stories from where we live. Paula talks about the legendry Crystal Palace Bowl and Bob Marley & The Wailers performance. Angela heads across the Thames, back to Canning Town in East London where she grew up to tell us about the famous Bridge House music venue and the band The Cockney Rejects and how football hooligans and the right wing momentarily ruined their career.

New music this week is from Misled Convoy X Kate Five with 'Apply The Pressure' and 'Alright Lads' by Nervous Twitch.

Ahoy Matey! This week we tell you the story of Pirate Radio Station, Radio Caroline with special guest Charlie Ashcroft from Amazing Radio.

Radio Caroline which launched in the 60s in reaction to the monopoly of the BBC and the major labels. The station took residency on a boat in the sea just outside British territory and went on to be one of the biggest stations in the UK, much to the digust of the labels and the governments. We dig into the real story of the boat that rocked, including murder, theft, storms and spliffs.

Special thanks to our guest this week, Charlie Ashcroft: https://amazingradio.com/shows/audition/poll

New music this week is from Feral Five, Cat Ryan and Benefits.

This week’s theme is songs about masturbation including Cindy Laupers ‘She Bop’, Orgasm Addict by Buzzcocks, I touch myself by Divinyls, B.O.B by Macy Gray and Billy Idol’s Dancing with myself. We discuss the back stories to these songs and the impact they had for the bands. From breast cancer awareness to Blue Boy and a few amusing slang terms, this show's packed with some unexpected facts.

We also have lots of new music too. Probably not about masturbation, but songs you really do need to hear, including bands We Three Kings, Dois Padres, Jean Genies Massive Hugs, Hot Wax and Wolfgang Von Vanderghast.

Kerrie and Grace venture further afield to explore stories from the world of music outside of Europe and North America. We explore the tragic but fascinating story of the thriving Cambodian Rock scene during the 60s and early-70s and how it was brutally silenced by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 before travelling to Africa to chat about the sociopolitical world and music of Fela Kuti and Afrobeat. 

New music hot picks this week come from Animal Breakdown and Teenage Waitress.

This week Angela and Paula take a ramble back to 1983, deemed as the most exciting year for music in the 80s, and one that would see the launch of many a future legend. We roll up our sleeves and dig into New Orders 'Blue Monday', the birth of Bananarama and their debut album 'Deep Sea Skiving, Madonna's self titled debut 'Madonna' and the single that would see electronic duo, Eurythmics, propelled to great heights with the release of 'Sweet Dreams (Are made of this).

Our new music hot picks this week are by Cross Wires and KIN.

This week Angela and Paula explore the songs the BBC loves to ban. From Sex Pistols to Abba we do a run down of our favs axed from the airwaves over the years, some of which are quite frankly bizarre. We also discuss censorship and pose the question of when is it or is it ever acceptable.

New Music this week comes from Fightmilk and Chorus Girl

This week we are joined by special guest, Vick Bain, Former CEO of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, now PhD researcher into women's careers in the music industry and creator of The F-List. We discuss the UK music industry and the appalling under-representation of women.

We also celebrate the first black female headliner at Glastonbury Festival, Skin from Skunk Anansie, and sing the praises of St Vincent who we think should headline pretty much every festival on the planet.

EPISODE 23

Whatever happened to... East 17?

Whatever happened to... Klaxons?

Whatever happened to... Cathy Dennis?

Yep, it's a question that comes up from time to time, people and bands who were once music industry heavy weights who now seem to have faded away... what happened to them? Well, we're about to tell you!

East 17, 90s boy band with a string of hits, sold out tours, more headlines than you can shake a stick out, but just like that, it was gone. What happened to these lads? Well, listen in and you'll find out.

Klaxons produced a massively successful album. Every song seemed like a single. They were refreshingly different from their counter parts, but they seemed to suddenly disappear from the music radar... where did they go?

Cathy Dennis - Solo artist and hitmaker topping the charts in the 90s gave up the public limelight. Where did she go, what did she do? Tune in for the lowdown!

This weeks new music come from New Pagens 'Yellow Room' and Potpourri with 'Dearly Departed'.

This week Angela and Kerrie from Bugeye take a look at the careers of Cher and The Spice Girls with new music from Scarlet and The Crystal Furs.

Cher, Goddess of Pop, has amassed international fame not only in music but also as an actress, taking home many awards. 26 studio albums, and of 34 top 40 hit singles, from 60s hippy duo, Sonny and Cher, to comeback career as a TV cohost and solo superstar, we dig into her incredible story which we hope you will enjoy.

The Spice Girls rocketed to fame in the 90s with their blend of Girl Power that stormed the charts both here in the UK and internationally. We look at how it all began, from business savvy smarts to how to make your own iconic stage dress.

This week we're joined by special guest Caffy St Luce, the fairy godmother of rock, as we explore protest songs through the ages. Kerrie takes us back to the 1930s and what is believed to be one of the first protest songs, Strange Fruit sung by Billie Holiday. We also moonwalk back in time to life in 1979 from politics to the launch of the Sony Walkman before landing at the feet of legends The Slits and their song 'Typical Girl'.

Expect random facts and stories of Howard Marks, Manic Street Preachers, Mason and more on that inflatable kayak.

Our music hot picks this week are from Dream Nails and Rosehip Teahouse.

This week Paula Snow and Angela Martin from Bugeye are joined by Bill Cummins and Jim Auton from God Is In The TV podcast Show Me Magic! We take a trip down memory lane and look at the death of Britpop and ask, was it all Tony Blair and his Fender guitars fault? We also discuss the tragic 27 club members, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain and Richey Edwards, before kicking off a quick fire quiz on Little Richard who sadly passed away last week. Our final feature looks at five of the artists who were influenced by the work of Kraftwerk including Bowie and OMD.

This week our new music comes from Foundlings, Hurtling, Clwb Fuzz and Fenne Lily.

THIS WEEKS SHOW

Lily Allen is an English singer, songwriter and author that has been dragged through the mud in the press. Breakdowns, breakups, award-winning albums, hit singles and tragedy. We take a look at her rise to fame and what was really going on behind the scenes.

Courtney Love, queen of grunge, has been very outspoken and not shy of public spats. We look at some of the more famous feuds and question their validity.

Kerrie and Angela cover the stories of Nina Simone, The Sex Pistols and Sid and Nancy in an extended version of the podcast this week.

Nina Simone was an American singer, songwriter, musician and civil rights activist. Known for songs such as 'My baby just cares for me', I love you Porgy' and 'Feeling good', we take a look back to where it all began, the struggle and passion of someone young, gifted and black in the 50s.

Anarchy in the UK, the birth of punk and the tragic tale of Sid and Nancy. We look at the creation of the Sex Pistols and the turbulent lifes of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. Accidental deaths, suicide pact gone wrong or murder?

New music featured in this episode is by the bands Tiger Mimic and Skies.
