On today's show I chatted with Steve McDonald of legendary US band, Redd Kross. The band was formed by Steve and his elder brother Jeff in 1979 when Steve was 11! Redd Kross have been recording and touring on and off since 1980, with their first full length LP being released in 1982. The band's latest album, which is self-titled, was released last year, along with a book by Steve and Jeff and an excellent documentary on the band, titled "Born Innocent". There's music by Redd Kross, along with Magic Dirt, Blowers, Transtate and Boom Crash Opera who all played locally that week.

Bendigo – situated in the geographical centre of Victoria. Should it be the central to the tour itinerary of bands playing Victoria? Yup. Could it be? Let’s you and I do what we can to make that the case! When the venues book out of town bands, I’ll aim to play them and if possible, interview them. I’ll support the local acts too, because we wanna hear local voices and sounds too, right? When you hear about these gigs and you dig the act, buy a ticket in advance. Deal? Together we can support our great local acts, while putting our beautiful regional city on the rock and roll tour map!
