Today’s show was notable for one big major reason, Dan, Mick & Peg of the Gories showed up at the KPFK studios and we had a 30 minute interview about the band, from the early moments playing around in Detroit to these recent reunion shows they’ve been doing (Still a chance to win tickets to the Sept. 8th show here in LA, see the post below!). This is one of my favorite interviews of all time, even though I barely ask any questions, basically, I just sat there and had the three of them trade stories. In the show there’s also new music from Dungen, Fabienne Del Sol, Aloe Blacc, Pollyn feat. Freddie Gibbs and classic material from the Minutemen, Marianne Faithful and more.
