The Mal Thursday Show
Direct from Austin, Texas, "The Mal Thursday Show" is back for another season of rock and roll mayhem on GaragePunk Pirate Radio. Since its inception as a weekly radio broadcast on WMUA-FM in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1987, "The Mal Thursday Show" has been delivering a potent mixture of garage, mod, freakbeat, psychedelic, punk, rock 'n' roll, and rhythm & blues. Nowadays, the show is based in Austin, Texas, and heard worldwide on GaragePunk.com and via iTunes. Dig it!
For fans of raunchy, wild rock'n'roll, old and new… garage, psych, punk, surf, rockabilly, soul, R&B, and lo-fi, primitive trash.
The Mal Thursday Show #82: Revisiting LOVE with Johnny Echols
Mal Thursday is joined by Johnny Echols, lead guitarist of the legendary Los Angeles-based ’60s band LOVE. Johnny is touring the U.K. in late June and early July 2016 with LOVE Revisited (tour dates below), the same band that teamed with LOVE main man Arthur Lee on his triumphant comeback shows in the late ’90s and early aughts. Johnny cherry-picks his favorite tracks (spoiler alert: usually the ones with extended guitar solos) from the band’s classic 1966-67 period on Elektra Records, and lays some essential oral history on you all in the process. Songs by Arthur Lee, Bryan Maclean, and Bacharach-David. Guitar by Johnny Echols.

Radio Mutation
Formerly known as GaragePunk Pirate Radio (2005–2015) and born of the original GaragePunk Forums message board at GaragePunk.com, Radio Mutation is a podcast network of DJ-hosted music shows featuring wild and untamed garage rock, punk, surf/instro, rockabilly, primitive R&B, power pop, swamp rock, proto-punk, post-punk, psychedelic rock, broken blues… basically all styles of gritty, desperate, REAL rock ‘n’ roll. All of them low-budget productions, independently produced and non-commercial (that means we make no money whatsoever from this endeavor).
Oh, and did we mention our shows are entertaining as hell? It’s true! Loads of personality and, just like the Young Lions Conspiracy*, a heaping helping of Integrity, Soul, and Attitude. Not to mention hours upon hours of great rock ‘n’ roll that you will simply not hear anywhere else.
