Local artist Bo Kaan was caught in action at the monthly Nimbin market, with backing from Don and Ren sitting in. Bo is famous for his hard hitting lyrics, mastery of the rock blues genre and gravelly voice. Top piece is 'TV man', followed by the 'Mindshape' song, and then a bit of a dig at the USA/CIA ... and oops ... did we say too much?

There's this strange gawky looking guy wandering thru Nimbin with his guitar hanging over his shoulder, and I'm on the way to the studio to do my weekly webcrawl show. "You lurking, or looking for a gig, or what?"
 "No man, I heard there was a radio round here somewhere, thought I'd check it out ... "  What else could I do? I sat him in front of a microphone, strapped him in and hung a harp round his neck. Aha! Got me a real live punk rocker here, from Oregon; Purple-heartland of grunge. The only X generationist to do a passable Dylan imitation, and who knows who Hunter S. Thomson was. And then I nearly fell off my chair when he did strange and unusual things to Don McClean's "American Pie" ...

I drove out to Nimbin on a tip that I'd find good musicians to jam with and some good "herbal inspiration" if you know what I mean. When I get to town, my bass player's gone off to Sydney and I find myself alone in the coffee shop next door. Suddenly, a sound catches my ears... It's NIM FM 102.3 and it's really groovy! I ask the barista "Where's the local radio station, man?" He points me across the street and I'm on my way. When I walk in the door, this punker chick introduces me to this gawky, strange looking guy with two turntables and a microphone. "I've got a disc here you might want to play, man..." He replies "A disc? Dude, how about you come down to the station tomorrow and play live on the air?" What else could I do? He sat me in front of a microphone the next day, threw some heaphones on his head, and man... I thought I was sitting next to Howard Stern or something! Sheesh... It was awesome. Besides, he liked Bob Dylan and knew all about Hunter S. Thompson. The whole radio show went great (except when I fell out of my chair while trying to play Don McClean's "American Pie".)

The Blue Knob Community, just outside Nimbin makes radical protest fun, with this wicked fundraiser for the aboriginal elder whose sacred sites are being trashed by one of the most venal mining companies in the world. And a busload of Nimbin activists are hitting the road to Lake Cowal for an Easter Corroboree and radical action. Get the real low down on the criminal vandalising of Lake Cowal  - a few ounces of gold in exchange for 1000s of tons of Cyanide, and a handful of jobs that will disappear as soon as the mining company moves on to track the next vein. Get the views of local activists and enjoy splendid musical talent, which forms the sonic backdrop to powerful statements of outrage: 

The Bands:

Alkhimiya, whose musical alchemy sublimates the dross of gross Corporate Greed into the Gold of the Human Heart.

The Blissmakers, who bring a driving reggae beat to ethereal lyrics.

Andrea, local folk performer and lyricist, whose soaring voice lifts us out of the mundane world with a glimpse of what could be.

Lively banter from NimFM's el Presidente Bob & our Poet in residence Jack-the-Naked-Hippy... centred on the playspace called Nimbin
