The Strombo Show - November 17th, 2013

The Darcys, who recently released their third studio album, have had their share of bumps along the road to success.  In less than a year, the Darcys were held up at knife point,  robbed of most of their gear, and almost run over  by a transport truck.  They stop by the broom closet tonight for a chat with George about their love of Steely Dan, their struggles in the studio, and their first experiences with porn.

Tonight's Random 80s Dance Party will feature David Lee Roth ...

.. and the Pointer sisters ... 

CBC's Lana Gay will be chatting about Electronic Music,

as always, the show will feature The Magnificent Seven,

Ten O'Clock With Tom (Waits)

  The Big Lie Down.

and the Nod to the Gods of Rock .

You can hear The Strombo Show on CBC Radio 2 on Sunday nights, from 8 to 11 pm.  See you there.  ;)
