Curveballs returned to its spiritual home of Wednesday nights and tonight was the first of 5 shows in honour of our 5th anniversary, coming up at the end of March. Each week we’ll be looking at the guests and tracks which soundtracked a particular 12 months of Curveballs. Tonight we started with a look at some of the guests we’ve had in during the past year of the show, including Philippic the human beatboxer, John Baker’s acoustic psychadelia, and with Filthy Revolution, one local band covering another!
There’ll be plenty more trips down memory lane in the weeks to come, and to add to the anniversary celebrations, I’ve put my first ever show for Phoenix FM – an hour-long podcast recorded in November 2006 – back online for a limited period. Have a listen at www.soundcloud.com/curveballradio!
