Merchants of Sound: what is wrong with groovin?
Every Saturday at 6.30pm with your hosts Bully Dux and Phat Kat.
We love supporting local artists, especially when they play what we love to play, you know? This week we interviewed three lads from Melbourne’s nastiest funk band, The Cactus Channel. In town to share the stage with Daptone Records artist Charles Bradley, they are all young (18years old!), raw and groovy. CLICK HERE for more info on their first album released on Hope Street Recordings later this year.
