The 80's Underground

All 80s / All Indie - KSCU Wednesdays 9 - 11 am

About Me

Wednesdays 9-11am(PST).......KSCU 103.3fm.......www.kscu.org

Truly a lost genre of radio programming until now...the 80’s Underground resurrects the best in 80’s indie, college, punk, post-punk, new wave, and modern rock every Wednesday morning 9-11am(PST) on 103.3fm in Santa Clara, CA and online at www.kscu.org . No other radio show in the Bay Area (or perhaps the state) devotes such a concentrated two hours to the best in completely underground 80’s rock.
