Eardrum Buzz Radio Shows

When I started following Seattle's Black Nite Crash and reviewing their music for Highwire Daze Magazine I enjoyed the band's sound, a mix of psychedelic and textured and catchy tunes. But little did I know, that guitarist/singer Jim Biggs was also a club DJ. DJ JimiC has done anniversary shows in the past but this time he's put together two hours of music that is all over the place and a joy to listen to.

About the DJ: Jimi C (aka Jim Biggs) is the Shoegaze Soothsayer of Seattle, having fronted scene stalwarts Black Nite Crash for over 20 years. Raconteur and Man About Town (or at least he was until the pandemic), he also continues to DJ in bars and clubs around the Pacific Northwest solo and with his crew The Vinyleaters, not to mention at least once a year on Eardrum Buzz Radio.
 
Black Nite Crash’s most recent album, Signal to Noise, is out now, available to listen to on Youtube and all your favorite streamers, but, perhaps more importantly, also on Bandcamp, where the artist actually gets paid. You can check it out, as well as the lengthy Black Nite Crash discography at blacknitecrash.bandcamp.com. (There’s free stuff there, too!!! Including their latest song “I Think You Should Leave”!!!)
 
Black Nite Crash is mostly sticking to the Pacific Northwest for the summer, but we intend to hit the road and maybe even come to YOUR TOWN in the very near future.

I came across DJ Knillz probably around the time he started his Thursday night Twitch show five years ago. He just celebrated by playing an eclectic set of songs for over three hours! Knillz was kind enough to record a live show, not during his regular slot for Eardrum Buzz Radio's Sixth Anniversary Weekend.  It's full of the Shoegaze and Dream Pop you love plus some new finds you're sure to want to get.
 
If you're interested, you can go and follow DJ Knillz at: https://www.twitch.tv/dj_knillz and enjoy his Thursday show for yourself!

Being a lover of Pink Floyd, Space Rock, Prog, The Church and more, I heard the music of All India Radio and Kilbey Kennedy and fell in love with Martin Kennedy's music and releases. Based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, Kennedy covers so many bases of music I love and is a talented musician and songwriter, singer and bandleader and collaborator. He took the time to make a one hour show for Eardrum Buzz Radio's Sixth Anniversary and you get to enjoy it here!
