Hosts: Gringo Starr, Reverend Beat-Man, Brother Panti-Christ & El Tiki
Sonic Nightmares is produced in Switzerland. Switzerland is a small country in the middle of western Europe sometimes overshadowed by its larger neighbors. In the true spirit of international relations, Gringo Starr highlights some of the coolest bands from our southern border, Italy. The Reverend Beat-Man spins some classic tunes from the land to our west, France. Brother Panti-Christ blows this whole theme off in a most convincing way by playing hip junk from everywhere, and El Tiki is in a small box somewhere so he won’t be able to play his iPod for you this episode. Give pizza chance.

Wonderful selection, as usual but…

And this (in italian) for the story: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rokes

Yeah, Beat-Man was also scratching his head at my MISS-information! I rushed recording my commentary and mixed up the countries (American instead of English)! It will probably happen again but I got you guys out there to correct me when I blow it. Thanks.

To make up for it we’ll play my favorite Rokes track on the next show and announce their life stories correctly…
