I asked Knillz if he'd be interested in doing a show for Eardrum Buzz Radio's 4th Anniversary and he said yes. So imagine my surprise getting a notification on a Saturday at noon, to find out he's doing the show live! He chatted with us and put together a great set.

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 and at least once a year on Eardrum Buzz Radio. Black Nite Crash has a new album out now, Signal to Noise, 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 http://blacknitecrash.bandcamp.com. (There’s free stuff there, too!!!)
 
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.
