I was talking to a friend this week about what shows we were planning to see when the world opens up again. I can’t wait for Guns N’ Roses at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. He was thinking about trying to get a ticket to the My Chemical Romance reunion at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where he lives.
He figured he missed out on tickets when they first went on sale, so maybe people were wanting to get rid of them now. He was wrong. The cheap seats are still going for hundreds on the resale market.
We ended up talking for a bit about the pent-up demand for concerts, a topic that also came up a little bit on our new episode of the Can’t Feel the Heat unofficial Coachella podcast.
And while things are quiet on the Southern California festival front this week, the airwaves are shaking up with some big news in the radio world. Read on.
He’s baaaaack
If you missed Kevin Ryder after KROQ unceremoniously axed the long-running morning show host in 2020, we have good news. He’s joining Doug “Sluggo” Roberts for the afternoon drive-time show on 95.5 KLOS-FM. Get the details.
She will rock you
A couple of weeks back we mentioned that ALT 98.7 FM’s had a new show coming out called “She Is the Voice” show featuring women in alternative music. Kelli Skye Fadroski talked to the station’s program director, and the show’s host, Lisa Worden, about the new program.
From ‘Off the Wall’ to on the air
Tune in to Vans’ new Channel 66 and you might see the Wu-Tang Clan’s GZA playing chess or hear the Chulita Vinyl Club spinning hard-to-find tracks. One Vans official described it “community radio meets public access TV.”
Diversifying Dim Mak
Reporter Kelli Skye Fadroski caught up with Steve Aoki about the DJ’s new Latin imprint, Dim Mak En Fuego.“This has actually been a long time coming,” Aoki said.Read more about the artists on the new label.
Can’t Feel the Heat
We’re back with another new episode of unofficial Coachella podcast “Can’t Feel the Heat.” This week, we’re talking with Angel Chavez about the relationship of the festival with the Coachella Valley, the Chella concerts and the most animated artist we had planned to see in 2020. Check it out on Apple podcasts and Spotify.
