Irwin Chusid
Singer Jennifer Charles and guitarist Oren Bloedow present a duo edition of their band Elysian Fields on Irwin's show, Weds. March 12, at 3:15pm (Eastern). The band just released FOR HOUSE CATS AND SEA FANS, their ninth full-length album. HOUSE CATS features guest appearances by Contortions saxophonist James Chance, J.G. Thirlwell, and John Medeski, as well the band's customary all-star sidemen (and cover art by John Lurie). The full band will host a record release concert at Rough Trade NYC on Saturday, March 22.
One-hour radio dramas by Joe Frank air alternate Wednesdays at 4pm (Eastern) on Irwin's program. On Weds. March 12th we'll air "Three Shingles," from Joe's SOMEWHERE OUT THERE series. At a Halloween costume party, Joe meets a cynical young woman dressed as Jesus, but she denies being in costume. They discuss her relationship with her Holy Father, then set off by car for places unknown. While she tries to overcome his innate skepticism, Joe doesn't know whether to accept her sacrament or seduce her.

James and the Ultrasounds Tuesday, April 1st, Noon - 3pm
on
Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
James Godwin has been holding down the bottom with precision as touring bassist for such Memphis acts as Jack Oblivian and John Paul Keith but now steps out front to lead his own band. James' self-recorded 2013 release, Lovers and Ghosts, captures a gritty lo-fi mix of the Memphis sounds we all know and love - garage rock, soul, pop. With nearly two years of solid playing with the band under his belt, James is ready to unleash new material that he says will feature a "broader spectrum of musical ideas, done in more of a live setting with the full band, as opposed to me tracking alone with tall cans of beer,and no one to tell me if what I'm doing sucks or not."
Good Throb Tuesday, April 22nd, 3pm - 6pm
on
Brian Turner's show
Good Throb are a blazing, snot-headed primitive punk quartet out of London, snarling and ripping their way through a few 7" singles so far and doing their second ever radio session today. they're equal parts Flipper at 78 RPM and Messthetics DIY postpunk series, with singer Ellie sounding like Eve Libertine from Crass trying to get out of a woodchipper. See them live at Death By Audio in Brooklyn on April 5th and 18th, or catch 'em on the air and netwaves here!
Hallock Hill Monday, May 5th, 9pm - Midnight
on
Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Tom Lecky has been releasing meditative improvised music under the name Hallock Hill since 2011. Hallock Hill's music is primarily made with guitar and, lately, piano, but other instruments and production elements also make appearances. It's careful music full of questioning -- curious, even wide-eyed, though never naive. The music is abstract, but it communicates in a narrative and visual way that's unusual for improvisation. A very special surprise guest will also join Hallock Hill in the studio.
All times listed are Jersey City time, EDT.
