Sat. 4/7 10p: This week on the Psychedelic Radio Head~Shoppe we pay tribute to the beginnings of “Underground FM” radio! It was about 6 PM on April 7, 1967, when Tom Donahue opened the microphone at KMPX in San Francisco, and began his Free Form styled broadcast! Although alternative radio was bubbling up nationwide, this moment is often considered ‘ground zero’ in the history of “Underground FM” radio. We’ll have sound bites of many FM Radio legends, including Tom Donahue, B. Mitchell Reed and Alison Steele, not forgetting we’ll feature music from arguably the most explosive and creative years in rock ‘n’ roll.
