on
Brian Turner's show
Temple of Bon Matin are Pennsylvania's most mind-altering exports since
Tastykakes; a dense gooey sound stew of what seems like Art Blakey playing with Tibetans who want to sound like a cross between Hawkwind, Judas Priest, and the more hallucinatory moments of Red Crayola or the Mothers of Invention. Maniacal and messed up and trucking on up the turnpike from Philadelphia to visit WFMU, tune in to hear Ed Wilcox and Leslie Q joined by several musical pals.

on
Brian Turner's show
From the Bay Area, Deerhoof have been unpeggable since their inception; just when you are lured in by their indelible hooks and singer Satomi's bubblegum-perfect voice, they evolve into splinters of organized chaos, sharp and chunky guitars and confusion along the order of the more way-out moments of Caroliner or the Thinking Fellers Union. Their first visit to the WFMU studios today.

If Japan's rock scene hasn't blown enough minds, tune in today and get a taste of the utter insanity going down in its Black Metal world. Sigh are a trio without categorization: Black Metal roots (they actually recorded their first record for a label run by Euronymous of Mayhem before he was killed), but upon listening to their new album Imaginary Sonicscape they swing into realms trodden by the likes of Schoenberg, Naked City, Goblin, Thin Lizzy, Kix, Ennio Morricone, Booker T, and even Giorgio Morodor and ELO. A rare chance to hear a Black Metal band that utilizes saxophone and Hammond organ on their records; what they will be like live will surely blow minds. You do not want to miss this.

on
Scott Williams's show
Ever since Gary Wilson self-released his slick psycho-erotic underground
masterpiece You Think You Really Know Me in 1977, WFMU (not to mention the worldwide rock music underground) has had an intense, albeit unrequited love affair with him. He's a mystery - he's a cult - he's a hero - he's a mysterious cult hero! And after 24 years of obscurity, he's finally coming to WFMU!! Don't miss it ... really.
