THE KITCHEN SINK

Are you ready for the summer? You will be after this hour-long ode to school. It's finals week and this is the final TKS episode of the 2014-15 academic year. So let's make this "schoolhouse rock" one final time.

Bluegrass, Country, Folk, Norteno, Swing, call it what you want to, it's Americana from the heartland...Long Beach, California.

The Bottled Spirits drop by The Kitchen Sink for some LIVE pickin' and grinnin'. Music from their EP, Blue Line Transit Blues, and soon to be released full-length debut.

It's acoustic music and singing at their finest. And if you don't believe me, well...press play.

Stay in touch with The Bottled Spirits at bottledspirits.bandcamp.com and thebottledspirits.com.

Unlike the previous TKS episode, there's nothing misleading about this one. Nearly an hour's worth of local and new music on the southern California and national levels.

Local music from Shave, Kathryn Dean, Karl?, Perro Bravo, Genevieve Bellemare, Thy Squid, and Forty-Rod.

Nationally it's Roseburg, Oregon and the ATL, Atlanta, Georgia, represented by ZZ Ward and Adron, respectively.

Some seriously yummy, delicious tunes here, so good-friggin-luck NOT getting your toes-a-tapping or hips-a-swinging!

Playing the best mix, the most diverse mix, of New and Local music you will hear anywhere!!

ARTWORK COMING SOON!

Deception only goes so far; at some point you have to come clean.

What was initially promoted as a tool to attract listeners for the (at the time) approaching tax deadline, can now be revealed for the truth. Nope, this one has nothing to do with THE IRS, but has everything to do with IRS (International Record Syndicate) Records, the home to such 80s luminaries as: The Go-Go's, Wall Of Voodoo, Fine Young Cannibals, REM, Let's Active, and Oingo Boingo.  Well, they're all here (plus a whole lot more) for your aurul pleasure.

So if you've got a hankering for some old-school New Wave (is that redundant?), this is the episode for you.

...more like the KATHRYN-DEAN-APALOOZA!! Welcome to this, the 4th, and, sadly, final episode in The Kitchen Sink's International Women's Month-long celebration. Hey, but if you're gonna go...what an exquisite way to go out. It's all things Kathryn Dean in this one as she prepares for the release of her debut full-length album. Trust me on this...just hit the play button!!

The 3rd episode in The Kitchen Sink's International Women's Month-long celebration continues as that other Divine Miss M, Mimi Masher, stops by the KLBC studio to catch us up, and fill us in, on all things Long Beach. From Jr. Roller Derby to 'Burrito Talk' to Running Of The Dames 2, if its fun in Long Beach...Mimi knows (and, hopefully, tells) all.

This first SPRING SESSION episode finds The Kitchen Sink celebrating the start of International Women's Month with a global collection of women that will absolutely knock your socks off. From the 'world-music' stylings of Zap Mama to the straight ahead, kick-butt, American rock of Suzi Quatro, this one is ALL ABOUT THE LADIES! Also featuring 'new music' from ADRON, Zella Day, Kathryn Dean & ZZ Ward; women whose music you may not know today, but whose music you will definitely be singing along to sooner, rather than later. [Visit the TKS group page on Facebook at Kitchen Sink Podcast & Radio Show for artist links.] Playing the best mix, the most diverse mix, of women you will hear ANYWHERE! Happy International Women's Month, ladies, from The Kitchen Sink!

This pre-Thanksgiving episode is all about keeping it local in SoCal; because, as they tell us at the station, college radio is about breaking new music. Nearly 60 minutes of diverse music across the spectrum: pop, rock, alternative, country, instrumental, and acoustic. Featuring the musical stylings of Kathryn Dean, Number 2, Desperation Squad, Addam Wesneski, The Abe Lincoln Story, Shave, Jolly Walker, Eric Warren, Unpopable, E Squared, and The Thingz. (Links to all of which can be found on the TKS Facebook group page at Kitchen Sink Podcast & Radio Show.) So come and (over) indulge yourself on these seriously tasty local tunes until the tryptophan kicks in.

With the start of the holiday season right around the corner, a case of the blues is to be expected. But this 65+ minute case of "the blues" is, typically, chock full of the unexpected; no usual suspects here. Featuring bluesy offerings ranging from the likes of The 5678s and Merle Haggard to The Squirrel Nut Zippers and BOC; this is definitely music for those who like it...blue. So whether it be the music, the feeling or the color, if it's A CASE OF THE BLUES you've got a hankering for, this is without a doubt the episode for you.

LBC's Wonder Woman, Mimi Masher (@mimimasher), stops by the KLBC studios for a chat. From who's got the best burritos in Long Beach to what Mimi means by "pulling a Jim Morrison" at the Mrs Long Beach Pageant...it's all things, Mimi Masher. We'll also be featuring some seriously juicy tunes (I s**t you not) from Headchange Records (headchangerecords.com) artists: Number 2, E Squared, and Shave. Also dropping a classic from local faves Desperation Squad and a new cut from Addi Somekh's the Unpopable Trio(balloonbass.com). It's a full, fun, episode of local talk and local music that you will not want to miss!!
