I have been meaning to blog about this for the past 15 weeks but if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you probably already know! So BUTR has a weekly segment on South Africa’s largest rock station, 5FM, as part of Jon Savage’s Power Nite of Rock program. This show reaches millions of listeners in South Africa and anyone in the world can tune in online via their spiffy website.
Jon Savage is the killer DJ and lead singer of Cassette that invited me to be a part of his show. You can listen live every Thursday at 4/3pm CST. If you miss the broadcast below are streams from past shows along with the list of artists I featured.
