For the third consecutive summer, Chris Berry of Soft Abuse Records out of Minneapolis has joined us on the podcast show. We never really ask in advance what he's going to be playing; we simply hand over the show to him in good faith, knowing full well that it will be two hours filled with choice selections from his personal collection that are both timely and obscure-as-hell. This time around, he came armed with a box full of records that ran the gamut from private press beach bum rarities to contempo Australian subterranean spew to Herschell Gordon Lewis incidental set speak. Sound confusing? Give it a listen - it'll all make sense. Visit the Soft Abuse website for more information.  

As discussed on the show, Mad Nanna will be touring the U.S. during the month of August and in Europe during the following month. Tour dates are available HERE and are being updated on a regular basis. Please contact Chris if you'd like help out with some of the currently unconfirmed dates.

Cured Pink is Andrew from Brisbane, also plays in Greg Boring with all the Sky Needle peeps hence the similarities. CP has something special going that's on not immediately obvious on this recording - his performances include industrial/found parts, chance operations, and physical force in seemingly (and many times actually) dangerous ways. Classic show in Sydney involved a metal spring and a small room and ended in some bloody heads.

great show guys! zully

Thanks for listening, Zully, and for providing this information. Sounds like protective gear at a Cured Pink show is a must!!
