Ep. #6: Mark Andersen on the Clash + Kid Koala on Space Cadet

On this episode, I take a closer look at the final years of one of the best rock band of all time, the Clash. While some fans and critics dismiss them, a new book called We Are the Clash: The Last Stand of The Only Band That Mattered is in progress that aims the right some wrongs. Co-author and Washington D.C. social activist Mark Andersen, who by the way, introduced Fugazi at their first ever show at the Wilson Center in 1987, joins me to discuss the Clash and the kickstarter campaign to get the book going. Also, Montreal turntablist Kid Koala is at the Luminato Festival in Toronto this week with a special version of his Space Cadet show, bringing his graphic novel to life in a really unique way.

hello,

This week, for our penultimate program before we go on indefinite hiatus, the Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show! may just hear from every single member of the influential band, Fugazi.

Fugazi

Emerging from Washington D.C. in 1987, Fugazi are my favourite band of all time and we’ve been lucky to have each and every member on our show at various points over the past six years. When they went on “indefinite hiatus” in 2002, many fans were puzzled by the terminology, even though the words belie the intent. “But so wait, did Fugazi break up?” Nope, they’re on hiatus. Indefinitely. Look, I empathize with you here. As Michelle and I enter into our own indefinite hiatus after working quite diligently on this thing of ours, I too am feeling somewhat uneasy about what pushing pause really means. I need moral support. And I can only think of one group of people who might know exactly what we’re about to go through…
