Re-airing my show from 3/22/19 (as rebroadcast on 3/19/21):
“I’m remembering my friend Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus of GWAR) on the 5th anniversary of his passing. My special guests tonight include several of his bandmates, including Russ Bahorsky who’ll bring a rare Death Piggy recording. I’ve also unearthed 1990s interviews I did with Dave and the gang on WDCE. Plus of course we’ll play GWAR and related music, tell stories, etc." Tune in 5-7pmEDT

Hard to believe, but it’s been 4 years (today) since Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus of GWAR) passed away. He is greatly missed. I was lucky to have him as my guest on WDCE and WRIR many, many times over the years, and it was always entertaining. I thought I’d re-air parts of three interviews he did with me on WRIR: 4/2/10 (talking about Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys fame), 7/26/13 (w/ Tannon Penland of Loincloth), and 8/10/12 (w/ Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, right after his release from Prague prison). Tune in 9-11pmEDT.
