Hey trick or treaters! Did you know?: That doomed singer Eddie Noack, who recorded the most bizarre country song extant, Psycho (which he didn't write), tried t...o top it with his own composition 'Dolores?' And pretty much succeeded? That infamous serial killer Gary Gilmore donated his retinas? And that following his execution they were implanted in a donor who may be looking through them even as we speak? That there is actually a tune entitled 'Love Song for Jeffrey Dahmer?' These truly terrorific treats are just part of the fun that awaits if you tune in to the 'Americana Garage' Friday October 2 8-10 pm ET on WRFG 89.3 FM (streamng live at wrfg.org and various apps). Your Maniacal Mechanic on Duty, Sadistic Steve K, is kicking off our Five Fridays of Shocktober with the first installment: 'Murderers, Maniacs and Mayhem,' on Oct 2 followed by: Oct 9-Outer Space and Sci-Fi Oct 16-Ghosts and the Supernatural Oct 23-Destroy All Monsters! Oct 30-Halloween Hodgepodge Playlists will be posted here and at FB/ WRFG Peach State Festival All Hail Halloween!

24-September-2020 Americana Garage WRFG 89.3 FM Fridays 8-10 pm. Harvey McLaughlin is a self-described ‘old man in a young man’s body;’ an out-of-time troubad...our who frames unhinged black humor tinged imagery with explosive piano pyrotechnics.

18-September-2020 Americana Garage WRFG 89.3 FM Fridays 8-10 pm. With their whip-tight playing and wry wit, the Western swingy Sensational Country Blues Wonde...rs will remind you of BR549.

11-September -2020 Americana Garage WRFG 89.3 FM Fridays 8-10 pm. Black musicians invented rock ‘n’ roll so why didn’t they stick with it? Thankfully some ha...ve. Bette Smith from Brooklyn had the requisite gospel and soul upbringing, but she likes it with a rock beat a la Tina Turner/Aretha Franklin. Her latest album, The Good The Bad The Bette (Ruf Records), enlists Matt Patton, Bronson Tew and Patterson Hood from the Drive-By Truckers on various production and performance duties and Luther Dickinson from the North Mississippi Allstars on guitar. A potent Southern rock/ soul stew to be sure. Also, new songs by Intercooler, the Bay Ledges, the Kestrels, Campbell Street Apartment, Ben Harper/Rhiannon Giddens, Mercy Jones Band, REQ’D, Kelley Swindall, the Neptunas, Throwing Muses, Bob Mould, Reese van Riper, the Secret Machines, X, Churchwood, and Frontier Dan and the Hickoids.

4-September-2020 Americana Garage WRFG 89.3 FM Fridays 8-10 pm. Our first (and hopefully last) VIRTUAL Labor Day Blues BBQ takes place Monday Sept 7 from 1 -8...:30 pm ET on FB, YT and various other platforms. Visit www.wrfg.org to get hooked up. The upside is that, since no artist has to set up and break down, we have 23 acts instead of the usual 6 or 8- almost all offering never-before seen content for our audio/visual consumption! We played a bunch of them in our set tonite. Be there or be square! And since it’s Labor Day, let us draw your attention to an Austin, TX band called the Service Industry (see photo), all of whose members work in service jobs and make it their mission to write and perform catchy and barbed power pop about their work lives. Their latest album, Entry Level Positions (Saustex Records), is a compilation of their best work. New music from the Mercy Jones Band, the Neptunas Frontier Dan and the Hickoids, Churchwood, REQ’D, the Secret Machines and Reese van Riper filled out the set. 1-Blues Theme-Davie Allan and the Arrows 2-Eat Steak-Rev Horton Heat 3-Working for a Living-Ben Bostick 4-Looking at the Sun-Matthew Sweet 5-Filing Deadline-the Service Industry 6-Ti the End of the Day-the Neptunas 7-Fallin’ Down Chickens and Pigs 8-Mo’hair the Hickoids 9-Hurricane Mercy Jones Band 10-In the Rex=Churchwood 11-Bottle and the Blues-Eddie 9 Volt 12-Neptuna Car Wash-the Neptunas 13-Have to go to Work the Service Industry 14-No Show Blues-Ben Bostick 15-Long Love Century-Michelle Malone and Drag the River 16-Twist Party Los Straitjackets/ Kaiser George 17-Ride 2 U-REQ’D 18-Waitress Blues-Pi Jacobs 19-Plate Back-the Service Industry 20-Hallelujah-Churchwood 21-Glorious Heroin-Frontier Dan and the Hickoids 22-Skin to Skin Reese van Riper 23-Mermaid A-Go-Go-the Neptunas 24-Summer Turns to High REM 25-Everything Starts-the Secret Machines 26-Big Black Bag-Michelle Malone and Drag the River 27-Settle Down Blues-Chickens and Pigs 28-Beach Ball-REM 29-Redondo Beach-the Superstocks 30-Imitation of Life-REM 31-Home of Mine-Amber Foxx See more
