Episode 50: Told You Before (9-29-12)

Brand spankin’ new band from the hairy depths of Portland, Not Now, Not Ever, joined Closet Radio live in the KPSU studios for an instrumental whiplash of dark-post-prog-with-a-steaming-side-of-strings experience that you’ll thank me for later!


This fierce foursome is immensely talented at bringing epic tales of adventure to any ear brave enough to slip into their web of cinematic audio bliss. But that’s not all, because the interview portions of this episode are equally entertaining as we discuss gaming, sci-fi movies, Portland music, and how this beast of a band came to life. If you’ve gone to the dark side of the moon and were able to come back, then this is definitely and episode you won’t want to miss!


Our good pal and righteous dude, Austin Rich of Blasphuphmus Radio was also on hand to plug things in, turn knobs, push buttons, provide commentary, ask the important man questions, and of course, proving once again to be the best co-host and sound guy a Rikki could ask for! I haven’t even mentioned that he also took photos (including the one below), video, and wrote an awfully nice two-cents worth over at his portion of the web-o-tron! Be sure to check out his show as well if you haven’t already to have a spot of tea, a good listen, say hi and thanks!

Join us for a full two hours of spooky, campy Rock n’ Roll hi-jinks with The Limit Club straight from the dark depths of Hell, Arizona!


The boys of The Limit Club popped into the KPSU studios on August 11, 2012 taking time from their West Coast Tour in support of “This is Cutthroat Business” to play a live set of their best jams, introduce us to a few of their favorite bands and chat a bit for all of you lucky Closet Radio listeners out there!


Also joining us for this episode was DJ Austin Rich of Blasphuphmus Radio to run sound (doing a smashing job as always despite having monitor issues) and hang out during the good times that happen when you cram so much awesomeness into a small broadcasting booth!

These types of episodes are always my favorite to do because I get to spend time with good friends and hopefully let all of you out there in on the secret of brilliant music and the people that make it. I’d like to give a huge thanks to Nick, Monty, Juan, NickDave, Austin, and KPSU for making this episode possible and of course, to everyone listening and supporting independent radio!
