A local radio station playing punk, indie, alternative, electronic rock, etc. is calling it quits.
Let me be the first to say that L.A. Radio sucks shite, and thank Indie for trying to do something different and real and fresh. Unfortunately that sort of thing never lasts for very long in Southern California.
It’s a station that counted amongst it’s hosts Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Henry Rollins of Black Flag-Rollins Band-and solo success, Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction and solo efforts, and Joe Escalante of the Vandals. Sad to see it go…
The good news is that Indie is sticking around as an internet only station and can be found at www.indie1031.com. So far the only confirmed name above that will stay on is Henry Rollins (you gotta love Rollins, he’s not turning down an open-mic, regardless of where it goes), but many of the other hosts are staying on board to bring you the music they (and we) love.
If this is the kind of music you love, support them, before we all get Britney’d, Beyonce’d, and P-Diddied to death.
