THE FREAK POWER TICKET Presents Hour of All-'80s Covers TODAY! (Monday, September 3)

Of his next broadcast (“A Labor of Love”), Ted Coe, producer/host of “The Freak Power Ticket” writes, “on today’s show I’ll be presenting a playlist entirely made up of covers of new wave, ska, and punk rock classics from the 1980s, partly inspired by Lady (L’Eighty) Darla Bea’s just-passed birthday, but also recognizing the lasting impact of so-called ‘college radio music’ from that period.

i just heard mention of a ‘retro rock weekend’ on Santa Barbara’s self-described ‘alternative rock’ station.

Consider this an alternative to that nostalgic fare: totally commercial-free and performed the likes of Manic Street Preachers, The Bouncing Souls, Good Riddance, Youth Brigade, Pavement, Icehouse, Gary Jules, Ted Leo / Pharmacists, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Nouvelle Vague, Terry Hall of The Specials, Angelo Moore of Fishbone, and more.”

“The Freak Power Ticket” airs on Mondays in the summer from 11am-12noon.
