Can
This week, we’ll kick the present Can. The Krautrock band. Because we can. One of the big names in what the international music press has rubberstamped as “Krautrock” (because it was Krauts, rocking, it seems) but what is actually more of an eclectic branch of Progressive Rock made in Germany. Highly experimental and influenced by classical music, Can’s work was quite influential outside the group’s home country and is certainly worth a closer look.

Jon Hiseman
Happy new year, everybody, and to get started on 2024, we‘ll drum it in with the help of the drummer who replaced Ginger Baker in the Graham Bond Organisation, then went on to Prog things by founding Colosseum, Colosseum II, Tempest, as well as collaborating with a who-is-who of the Jazz and Prog scenes, including his own wife Barbara Thompson.

Stevland Hardaway Morris
This week, we’ll take a good look at the prolific early 70s through 80s in the career of Little Stevie, a period during which he defined some of the parameters of both Funk and Disco, helped transform the way keyboards were used in Rock music and made a large contribution to the introduction of the synthesizer to the mainstream.
Yes, we’re talking about Stevie Wonder here.

Fire!
On the occasion of this year’s Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night, we will put on a show that’s on fire. Well, featuring songs about fire, fireworks, etc. Bring your safety goggles and dancing shoes!
Also please note that sanity has returned to most of the world in the form of standard time, so the show will be on at the usual 12:30 KI time for everybody again.
