Freeform Radio and the Importance of KXLU

Zach and Tyler Bozeman of Temporal Love at KXLU after an interview with Dirty Hippie Radio on Jen G’s Levitation Radio (noon to 3 p.m. on Thursdays). Sean Price was stuck at work.

If music is magic, then DJs are wizards and witches. And if mainstream-corporate radio plays music, then the DJs are robots. Granted, the world needs songs like Boston’s “More Than A Feeling,” but it can do without hearing it on a prescheduled basis numerous times a day, [...]

Some Ear-Candy Halloween Jams For Ya

Dirty Hippie Radio get’s into the Halloween spirit – in fact I just made it through Nightmare On Elm Street 7 last night – and it got me thinking of my favorite “Halloween” movies. I can’t deny Killer Clowns From Outerspace, The Monster Squad, Little Monsters, The Lost Boys (and others, oh others); but this one just really gets me going, and it’s got such a groovy soundtrack!

Mad Monster Party? is undoubtedly one of the utmost classic Halloween movies of [...]

Too Drunk To Rock N Roll

Man, Dirty Hippie Radio did not make it to The Reflectacles Saturday night – what a bummer.  Sorry guys, but that’s what starting with a Dogfish Head Burton Baton Oak Aged Imperial IPA, followed by a Full Sail Session Black, a Stone Sublimely Self Righteous, 2 Russian River Blind Pigs, a pint of Port Lost Abbey Gift of The Magi, and a finale of 2 more Burton Baton double IPAs will do to you.  I couldn’t find my car, let [...]

Boogaloo Autism Benefit Show

Cafe Boogaloo, Hermosa Beach, is hosting an Autism Benefit Show tomorrow, Saturday, 4:30-7:30pm.  Sourgrass and Fortunate Youth will be supporting from the stage.  It’s a community event about spreading Autism awareness, promoting youth organizations, alternative medicine, and healthy living; and raking in some dough for a good cause.  Dirty Hippie Radio will be there to make the dance floor look good while the bands help spread awareness (with psychotropic music?). See you there, unless you’re too busy making deviled eggs [...]

My Sourgrass Curse

I was totally geared and stoked to go see Sourgrass last night at The Viper Room in Hollyweird… So of course I woke up with a gnarley sore throat: I have a Sourgrass curse.  They’re like one of the sickest bands you can catch live and I always seem to get there right when the show is ending (I got one damn song last night). Fortunately, they will be performing in town again on April 3rd, at Cafe Boogaloo for [...]

Sourgrass Is Back Baby!

The Santa Cruz boys known as Sourgrass will be making a couple of long anticipated appearances in the LA area starting this Friday, 7pm at The Viper Room! These guys are top notch and their live show is where it’s at.  Their studio recorded music is fantastic, but their show is an experience (we’ve heard rumor of a live album in the process, by the way).  See you there!

“Sourgrass come on full force with powerful, dirty rockin’ blues jams, heavy [...]
