KXCI 91.3FM Tucson AZ

Post-Negative Approach bluesy punk band formed by vocalist John Brannon. He'd go on to reform Negative Approach and has stopped through Tucson with that band on occasion.

Debut LP from this Australian post-punk band. Yes, that is Nick Cave on vocals. Band name was originally Boys Next Door.

Sludge punk from San Francisco, with major output released throughout the early to mid 80s. This album sits on the KXCI vinyl wall. The front LP artwork is a cutout of the band's tour van. The back contains stage, band members, and instrument cutouts. Make your own Flipper show at home!

Debut solo LP from The Stooges front man and godfather of punk. Written and recorded in France in collaboration with David Bowie around the time Bowie was also recording "Low". As such, you can consider this album a cousin of David Bowie's Berlin trilogy.

Fifth studio LP from this experimental electronic-focused English act. Vocal contributions throughout this LP from members of Blur, Mazzy Star, Elbow, TV On the Radio, plus reggae artist Horace Andy. David Bowie was to be a vocal contributor but that did not happen.

Debut LP from the shoegaze legends. First of four songs on this album written by vocalist/guitarist Bilinda Butcher. The landmark LP "Loveless" would follow.

NYC noise-rock band. Heavy Jesus and Mary Chain influence. Will be performing at 191 Toole in Tucson on February 19th, 2022.

Fifth studio LP and one of five singles released from this Manhattan band. Their 2002 debut LP "Turn On the Bright Lights" drew some (unfair) comparisons to Joy Division, though that release is now celebrated by fans and critics alike.

11th studio LP from the former Husker Du and Sugar band member. Fun Fact: Bob Mould was at one time a writer for World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

From the great English band formed in 1977. 11th studio LP. Title is a reference to the fact that this released marked the 47th recording made available by the band.

The Flaming Lips saw some mainstream success with their sixth studio LP following the minor commercial radio hit "She Don't Use Jelly". Funny to think this would lead the band on a musical path that saw them collaborating with Miley Cyrus in 2015.

10th studio LP from the alt/noise-rock band. Rolled through Tucson in support of this album with a show at the Rialto. One of the loudest shows I've ever attended.

Second studio LP from the Los Angeles blues punk band. Debbie Harry of Blondie fame recorded backing vocals throughout and is credited as D.H. Laurence Jr..

English band formed in that initial 1977 punk explosion but fell on the wayside unlike other contemporaries, despite their musical bonafides.

1983 debut LP from this English punk band active since 1979. You may also recognize this cut from "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4", whose soundtrack also featured Iron Maiden, N.W.A., Gang Starr, and more.

More late 70s English punk. Early band recordings featured Genesis P-Orridge of Throbbing Gristle on drums.

Second CLash studio LP. Recorded from Sandy Pearlman of Blue Oyster Cult, probably to make this release and the band palatable to mainstream rock and/or roll listeners.

Irish punk band directly inspired by The Clash, with this band's name taken from the Clash cut "Protex Blue". This compilation is really a collection of recordings intended to be the band's debut LP, which never materialized until 2010.

Gordon Gano wrote most of this album at the age of 18. I was probably sniffing glue at that age. Check out the xylophone solo!

Band formed from the ashes of experimental punk band The Prefects, but would first go on to support The Clash as part of the "White Riot" tour, THEN become The Nightingales.
