* Featuring the classic ‘Weedseed’ 7″ from Woollongong stoner legends Tumbleweed *
Last weekend during the Khatsalano Fest in Kits, I strolled into Zulu Records and stumbled across a copy of the classic ‘Weedseed‘ 7″ by Tumbleweed! What an amazing find. It’s a beautiful 2 x orange vinyl with a photo pasted inside and cool artwork by Lenny. Tumbleweed was the first live band I ever saw in Canberra and I always kept up with what they were doing on record. It’s exciting to hear they have re-formed and are recording again as well. I wonder if they’ll ever make it to North America…? Today on the show I couldn’t help but play the whole EP in it’s entirety, going right back to 1992. For many listeners, this may be an introduction to a this classic ‘stoner’ band from Woollongong. I’m sure you’ll be hungry for more!
Also on today’s show I feature a couple of Australian bands that are gaining attention from listeners in the US – Twerps and Royal Headache. Both of these bands have been added to many college station playlists in the past few weeks. Exciting stuff. I play a track from the debut album by Australian indie rockers The Valery Trails and finish up with some local tracks by prominent folkies Geoff Berner and Buckman Coe. MG
