I've decided to make the 2nd Thursday of each month an all-American showcase. Seeing as I'm one of two Yanks on the station, I like the idea of playing up-and-coming bands from over here to an audience (predominately British) that may not be familiar with them.
For this month though, it's really an all-North American showcase, as I've carved out a segment in the lineup for a few worthy Canadian acts. Be listening for first spins from DEAP VALLY, THE MYNABIRDS, JIM WHITE, QUIET COMPANY, YPPAH, ALLAH-LAS, SOULSAVERS and CLASS ACTRESS.
