For more than five years now, KAOS Radio has been an ongoing protest against the FCC policies that have taken control of the airwaves out of the hands of local music fans and citizens and turned it over to media conglomerates that broadcast the same content in every market.
The Smooth & Demented Show fills an unusual niche on KAOS. Like most Pirate radio stations, KAOS was built by punks who were not hearing the music they like on the corporate radio stations. We also were not hearing our music on the radio, but we're from Texas and we like country!
Every Tuesday night, The Smooth & Demented Show specializes in Outlaw Bluegrass and Insurgent Country, with music by Split Lip Rayfield, The Old 97s, the South Austin Jug Band, Hank Williams III, Billy Bragg, Son Volt, the Lonesome Heroes, and the like.
Upcoming Live In-Studio sets:
5/22 Johan the Angel - Portland, Ore.
5/29 Leo Rondeau - Austin, Texas
6/5 Fourtrack Blackjack - Austin, Texas
6/19 Crawling with Kings - Austin, Texas
Tune in to www.kaos959.com every Tuesday night from 9-11 Central for the best in Outlaw Bluegrass and Insurgent Country, plus whatever the Hell else Smooth and Demento want to hear.
Hope to have you as a friend.
peace,
James C. Smooth & El Demento
