Part One -- The Homosexuals

For over twenty five years I told people that one of my very favorite bands was a British postpunk art band called The Homosexuals, but since no one had heard of them, all anyone ever did was look at me funny.

Here are the Homosexuals, their records and a live set from the Echo on March 29. Give them a listen -- you won't believe your ears. Space rock, prog rock, freakbeat psych pop, African drumming, jazzy fusion, dub, even punk and disco all emit from their collective conscious. Along with a March 30 phone interview with leader and chief songsmith Bruno Wizard, this is a deep listen into truly timeless, exciting music for the ages.

All tracks in the first segment are by the Homosexuals.
Prestel / Astral Glamour / Hearts in Exile-Soft South Africans (live 30 March 2009 at the Echo in L.A.) / Vociferous Slam / Flying / (Do the) Total Drop / Walk Before Imitate (WFMU 20 July 2004) / Kiss With Venom / You're Not Moving the Way You're Supposed To / Soft South Africans (slow version) / Jesus

The Homosexuals original trio 1978: Anton Hayman, guitar; Jim Whelton, bass; Bruno Wizard, vocals, drums.

The Homosexuals 2009: Travis Harrison, drums; Dave Siegal, guitar; Mike DeSantos, bass; Bruno Wizard, vocals.

Thanks to Bruno, Dave Parker, Louise Bialik, Steve Streight (he found them first!), wfmu.org, The Echo, Chuck Warner and hyped2death.

I do the Chill Room on killradio.org, and have been here for years. Radio is an extraordinary medium in which you can actually make magic and conjure spirits without even knowing that you're doing it. Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident. The Chill Room is collage, art, literature, science and history rolled into one. (Secrets sometimes are necessary. The Chill Room is designed as a radio narcotic. It will comfortably assist you in relaxing and withdrawing into the sleep, but it can also be habit forming. Some have been known to experience withdrawal symptoms missing only one week of shows. Use with skill and abandon. Eyes wide eagle vision. Disappear like the tail of a lizard.)
