PUTTING COLOUR INTO YOUR MUSIC
With Classic Rock Through The Ages

May 2012 Update

Hi Everyone!

It's been a while since the last post on kscopeears.com, but we have still been very busy with our weekly broadcast from Edge Radio as well as our frequent Kaleidocasts.

Here is a run down of the shows we've had since our last post:


6th May 2012
 
We featured the amazing talents of Italian Pink Floyd Cover band Interstellar Factory. The band caught Nobby's attention on the online community and he was very keen to interview them. They hope to soon be touring outside Italy with their incredibly atmospheric renditions of tunes from the 1967-1972 period of Pink Floyd. A New album of original material is in the works for late 2012 or early 2013.

Our subject this week was the live recordings of Porcupine Tree. With so many folks around Hobart STILL not knowing much about the band, it was time for another retrospective, but this time featuring tracks from the progressive rock front-runner's extensive live back-catalogue.
