Tonight on the Artist Hour: Colorado's The Very Hush Hush

The electronic rock duo from Oakland-by way of-Denver's sophomore album, Evil Milk, came out last February. Listen tonight at 10 on KVRX as I play TVHH recordings from the past five years.

The Very Hush Hush

Mikey Dread was most famous in his homeland for his work at the Jamaican Broadcasting Corp., where he started an all reggae show that aired for 4 1/2 hours (starting at midnight).

Yes, they were New Hampshire's original Riot Grrls! The Shaggs: comprised of the three Wiggins sisters, who came together at their father's bidding in 1976 to fulfill a prophecy made by their grandmother twenty years before they were born! They would go on to write and record some of the strangest pop songs ever laid to wax... The legend! The magic! The mystery and the tragedy! Frank Zappa said they were weird!

Or should we say THEE Milkshakes? Either way, it's a rundown of Billy Childish's classic Beatles-esque pop-rock group from the early 80s that sang all the classics --- from songs about beating up girls, to using girls for their money, or simply lamenting the fact that a certain girl is only 15 years old, The Milkshakes covered all the appropriate rock'n'roll bases, with zeal and charm. Nothing stopped these men.
