DHR guest DJs on KXLU 2/2/12
Dirty Hippie Radio is guest DJ-ing tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 2 from noon-3 on KXLU’s Levitation Radio.

“The name comes from a traditional Irish drink, that I think consists of cider and a shot of whiskey… We also cover a song called ‘Johnny Jump Up,’ which is about drinking too many Johnny Jump Ups.”
Introducing: Johnny Jump Up. They are Trey Comstock (guitar, harmonica, lead vocals), Dan Fowler (drums), and Jack Connor (violin, vocals). “There is a rotating door of guitarists and bass players,” says Comstock. “But at [...]
