About Me

Unknown Pleasures is a radio show playing obscure and underground music, as well as classic indie tracks. From 2003 to 2007 we were a staple feature of NSRFM . We will begin broadcasting on Monday nights from June 11th between 7-9pm on NE1 FM , a Newcastle-based station (102.5 FM), where the combination of far-reaching, critical music and surreal banter will continue apace. Come and listen, as we are skill!

Old podcast from our NSR days (from 5/02/07) available for download from here.

NSR Podcast from 29/1/07 available for download from here.

We'll maybe put up NE1FM podcasts when we work out the legal implications!
