FEATURE CD / BONAPARTE – Too Much – WIN IT!
Bringing forth a hedonist brew of ‘attention deficit disorder muzik’ is young vagabond BONAPARTE, on a worldwide party to celebrate the release of his album TOO MUCH. BONAPARTE aka Tobias Jundt is a Berlin based musician, DJ and university songwriting lecturer who has morphed from a bona fide pop star in his Swiss homeland to a more trashy and visual music revolutionary. The BONAPARTE electro rock thrash Zen punk experience is simply ‘mucho fun fun fun’. A hit in the German party capital, BONAPARTE has played everything from illegal gigs beneath Berlin’s Alexanderplatz to the Montreux Jazz Festival and a private show for film director Quentin Tarantino. He’s playing at Chicks Hotel this weekend! Win the album then check him live.
WIN Too Much all THIS week at 8.15am on Breakfast.

NATURAL SELECTION – STEVE ALBINI w/ Walker & Hopo. Sunday 15th February, 6 – 8pm.
Spawning controversy as well as adulation throughout his career as a record producer, guitarist & songwriter, Steve Albini has made a major impact on alternative and punk rock and rock and roll since the formation of BIG BLACK in the early eighties all the way through to present day SHELLAC. In his recording efforts, he has striven to create a sound that comes as close as possible to that of a live performance. "All I want to do is, I want to make records that sound realistic and that kick my ass," he declared in Chicago magazine. Albums like Nirvana’s In Utero & The Pixies’s Surfer Rosa are plain evidence of his rogue approach. Steve Albini w/ Walker & Hopo. Natural Selection - This Sunday, 6 - 8pm on Radio One
