Back to the Strip!
Host: Mal Thursday
This episode is a sequel to The Mal Thursday Show #16: Riot on Sunset Srip Revisited, once again turning the spotlight on the L.A. scene of the mid-’60s, with appearances by some of the era’s most rockin’ combos, including the Leaves, the Sons of Adam, the Avengers, and the Standells. Then, direct from Sonic Nightmares mission control in Switzerland, Mal’s special guest, Gringo Starr, spins a set of his favorite bands from the Southern California garage scene of the ’80s, including the Pandoras, the Tell-Tale Hearts, and the Untold Fables (if you dig the Fables, be sure to check out Out of the Vaults, Into Your Ears #21). Presented in Living Monophonic Sound.
Please note: The Mal Thursday Show can now also be found on Mevio.com (formerly Podshow)!

This was a tough one – so many great bands, so little time. Barely scratched the surface of the LA ’60s scene: no Music Machine, no Human Expression, no Love, to name just three. Of the ’80s bands, I had to cut Yard Trauma and the Beguiled at the last minute, but I’ll definitely have them on in the future (the Beguiled do make an appearance on The Mal Thursday Show #3.
