Jazz, rock, hip hop, world music. Every music genre has its own programme or its own channel. Narrow-mindedness is still around and even more so it seems. High time to radically tear down some walls. Free Radicals is an eclectic programme which only has one motto: good music.
The cutbacks in the cultural sector turn out to be disastrous and, as expected, particularly at the smaller progressive more avant-garde venues and ensembles. So today an hour of ‘noise music’ but from the last century. ‘Alternative’ as it was known at the time. This Special Radical Mix includes: Trumans Water, Ween, The Birthday Party, Ruins, Killdozer, Butthole Surfers and Penthouse.
