Long-running Vancouver-based psychedelic rock band Black Mountain have lost a few founding members recently, but Steve McBean, now based in Los Angeles, is continuing the band in three-piece form. He has just released the latest Black Mountain album called Destroyer. We air a single from this record after a track-a-piece from the band’s first two records. You can hear the come-back single from Aussie rockers Rocket Science and more of the bands that played Music Waste 2019 in Vancouver.

Lots of great new music on the show, as always, including renowned Australian songwriter Darren Hanlon and a track from The Valery Trails, a unique band who have more recordings than live performances under their belts given that part of the band lives in Australian and the other in Houston, Texas.
I start the show this week with three more tracks from 1994 – this time electronica hits by Single Gun Theory, Itch-E and Scratch-E and Severed Heads. ‘Dead Eyes Opened’ by pioneering electronic act Severed Heads is an infectious remix of the original track from 1984.
Next up is a re-broadcast of my interview with singer Karnamarita Dasi who played Kirtan Vancouver 2012 this past weekend. I hosted a one hour special on bhakti yoga last week during which I had chance to chat on the phone with this extraordinary voice and passionate spokesperson for the contemporary bhakti movement in North America. I know this is not Australian or Canadian music, but this enlightening interview is too fascinating not to play again.
And we welcome back to the show CiTR Radio Arts Report contributor Sara Lapsley, as she shares her interview with Daniel Fazio, who is one of the proprietors of the uber-hip Waldorf Hotel here in Vancouver. Daniel speaks to Sara about the origins of the newly renovated and re-launched Waldorf and tells us about the Food Cart Festival that is being hosted in the Waldorf carpark on Sundays this summer.
Hello! This week I’m featuring an act that I somehow didn’t explore enough growing up in Australia but who I was re-introduced to via my ‘secret admirer’ who left a bunch of Australian CDs at the station with my name on them. Two Not Drowning, Waving CDs found their way to me and thank goodness for that! Formed in 1983, Not Drowning, Waving released 7 albums of evocative alternative music with ambient and world music textures. You’ll hear tracks today from the albums Little Desert and Claim, as well as stunning intrumentals from the acclaimed Proof movie soundtack. MG
