gLASSsHRiMP radio show: wed 17th 2006

broadcast live on Resonance 104.4 fm - 5 til 6.30pm (London time) - fm in London, streaming from www.resonancefm.com

2 live music guests this week...

we welcome Tarantula AD in the studio for a live session - colossal quasi-classical post-rock or slighty pagan metal crossover with a cello? - tune in to find out! awesome latest record 'Book of Sand' features vocals from Devendra Banhart and Sierra Cassidy (CocoRosie) , "an album to be hidden under your bed, either that or filed next to Saxon’s epic Crusader" (boomcat) - the band are in the UK for an appearance at the ATP Festival.

live performance also from Cormac Heron previewing his 'Prolapsed Catholic Guilt Show' to be performed on 18/5 at the 12-Bar in London - Cormac's appearance on the show in March with his 'With Or Without You, I Can't Live With Or Without You' show was an absolute riot; he will be taking a break from live performance after this weeks show so it seemed rude not to have him in - the show will explore Catholicism, the fear of god and the theories of Einstein with the aid of the genre of punk - he's said there won't be any stilt-walking this time, but you never know! - let's hope it's all written before wednesday!
