Playlist for March 5, 2010

What a fun show!  Last night started off with some brand new tunes from The Aggrolites and Smooth Beans, then we chased down some ska themes in the vein of vocal legends like Prince Buster and Eric Monty Morris.  Of course, my favorite segment was when we were joined by Greg K, who gave us the scoop on all of the big touring ska acts that came through St. Louis in Feb.

 

You can, as always, catch the archived stream of the entire show over at KDHX.org
