The Biker Show is moving

The first radio show produced by bikers – presented by bikers – owned by bikers – for bikers and every other road user – launched in 2012 on Bush Radio is moving to a new time-slot.

The show will be broadcast every Monday evening from 7 to 10pm on 89.5FM and available via internet / mobile phone across the world).

The show will continue to have something for everyone – those to whom biking is a hobby; others who see it as a lifestyle and for those who believe biking is life itself!

This three-hour show will have weekly features on road safety, featured bike of the week; club of the week; general biker news; special guests and if it needs to be aired for debate, it will be dealt with on The Biker Show.

So i did a tribute to Homegrown radio show – Here it is:

This is a repost of a blog entry by Hyphen on his site.

So as you may or may not know , i do a weekly radio show on Bush Radio 89.5fm. (Tuesday’s, 10pm)

Seeing as the last Homegrown ever was upon us , i decided to get all the guys in a do a tribute show .

All the music was off Counterstrike’s debut cd – Biogenesis and i had a bunch of chats with various people involved

It’s a little large (the show was 2 hours) but it’s definately a piece of South African drum & bass history

These are just a few examples of what’s to come.

Here’s what the group has to say about why they are doing what they do:

“Are you bored of all the same old mediocre bollocks you find on the rest of the internet (and now radio)? Well so are we! We aim to inform, challenge, engage and inspire all out there to be thinkers, encouraging your opinions and participation in our quest to find the dankist things out there!”

So tune into 89.5 FM or online via www.bushradio.co.za on Saturday, 6 August at 6pm.
