Vibing to Vibert

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 08:30:41 GMT

On this week's, pod we look at the three consecutive shows that await us at RMH: The Bug Club on Thursday 22nd, Sound of the Sirens on Friday 23rd, and Luke Vibert on Saturday 24th. A terrific trio of shows! James and André get particularly animated about Luke Vibert and his colossal catalogue of works...

We also pay respects to the mighty Damo Suzuki, by listening to some of our favourite Can tracks and reminiscing about Damo's RMH appearances. RIP to a true legend.

Member Memories

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 08:30:16 GMT

This week's pod is a very special one indeed! We listen to a selection of voice notes sent by RMH members, who share with us some of their most magical memories at the venue, emphasising the value and importance of their membership...

We also look ahead to the upcoming shows, including The Future Psychadelic's sold-out debut on Friday 16th, and The Schizophonics' explosive gig on Sunday 18th. Plus a little more Zelda chat, which seems to be a recurring theme.
