@marcrileydj.bsky.social Heard 'Evil Hoodoo' by The Seeds on yesterday's show. Didn't know that particular one, but sounds like it was a favourite of someone else!

Timings for tonight's show @continentalpreston.bsky.social Doors open 7.30, @patrickfitz1.bsky.social 7.45 to 8.45, johatsu 9.05 to 9.25, Daily Toll 9.45 to end

Still time to pick up tickets from @actionrecords.bsky.social for tonight's garage rock special at The Ferret in Preston featuring The Lotts and an extended set from maestros The Primevals whose storied career dates back to the mid 80s sharing stages with The Cramps and The Gun Club. 7.30pm start.

Ask them to do 'Warm Slime' again, longer version preferably!

O2 Ritz Manchester. O Sees were good, but you were crap. Flyers confiscated on the door. £23.85 for a round of three pints. Stupid rule about no bags bigger than A4 size. Not even the prospect of Stereolab or Half Man Half Biscuit could tempt me back over your rancid threshold again.

Very pleased to secure a date for @continentalpreston.bsky.social from @prolapseband.bsky.social. If you're wondering when they're going to destroy your face, it will be Friday Aug 15th. Huge support from @ginnel.bsky.social and Uhr. Tix with no booking fee available from @actionrecords.bsky.social

British Birds fans spotted fighting over a pair of Preston Pop Fest tickets outside the Bus Station today. They obviously don't know there are still some £55 early bird weekend passes left at @actionrecords.bsky.social . They are flying out though, so probably none left by the end of the week!

YouTube video by Dragged Up - Topic Blake's Tape (Radio Edit)

Anyone who saw @draggedup's great set at The Ferret last year will surely be making a date for the Sunday of Preston Pop Fest 2025! when they appear @thecontinentalpreston for the first time! This week they start a European tour with Steve Malkmus's new band Hard Quartet!

Can't believe you're wearing it. Is it a disguise?

New Show! Second in the DE*PRESTON series of Sunday all-dayers @continentalpreston.bsky.social , this one's a garage/psych/beat edition, stacked line-up 12th October inc Imperial Wax, Gloin, The Thanes, Ahmed & the Romans. Any chance you will make it over @marcrileydj.bsky.social ?

I thought you meant John Maher for a minute then, but I geddit now! Try giving @sjbotw.bsky.social a listen, his regular dub excavations sometimes go deep enough to cover proto-roots stiff like this. otwradio.blogspot.com?m=1

Autocamper are playing Preston Pop Fest this August along with Pastels guitarist @johnhogarty.bsky.social 's great band National Park. Any chance of a share with your followers?

@wendylyon.bsky.social and that's back in the set too!

Yes it is!

PROLAPSE PROLAPSE Prolapse originally formed in Leicester, UK, in the early 1990s and earned a cult following for their chaotic live sets, and tense and repetitious songs like Flex and Tina This Is Matthew Sto...

Well if you'd let me get a word in edgeways.....I'd be delighted to announce that @prolapseband.bsky.social will be playing Preston @continentalpreston.bsky.social on Friday August 15th! Tickets on sale on this link now or from Action Records later in the week. wegottickets.com/event/661872
