After Eight Show - New Music You Just Don't Hear Anywhere Else!

Our ambition every week is to introduce you to the music of at least 3 artists / bands who are new to you and whose music you'll want to explore.
Our ALBUM OF THE WEEK, this week, is 'Area 52 Truck Stop' by Sylvia Bullett.
"I have been visualising post plague dance parties spinning this!"
It features two members of iconic band Television – Fred Smith on bass and Richard Lloyd on guitar. The album is so named because she recorded it during Covid time and actually finished one of the earliest songs pulling up her truck alongside the legendary Area 52 Studios: Dave "Loveshack" Cook ran cables out to the truck cab for vocal mic and earphones- thus the inspiration for the album's name.
In our LUVVA COVER feature, we will be playing an amazing instrumental cover of an iconic Radiohead song by a Lebanese violinist. Ara Malikian was a child prodigy, studied in Hanover and London, and now includes classical, experimental, ethnic (e.g. gipsy, Klezmer, Spanish and Argentinian) and modern compositions. This cover, released about 5 years ago, is so exciting, original and energetic! Give it a listen!
