'A Long Strange Trip' concentrated on the Music of the Grateful Dead for two years and has expanded its consciousness further in the last six months.

There is a genre of music coming out of the US loosely described as 'JAMBAND', It's more about the music than ever before, extended jams, stretching and exploratory improvisational live performances, as well as a fiercely independent and organic distribution of music and news!

Bands such as Widespread Panic, Phish, moe., Railroad Earth. Yonder Mountain String Band, Tea Leaf Green, Hot Buttered Rum, etc. All have an original style and a wonderful connection with their audiences..

I'll be playing choice live cuts from the jamband scene, giving you updates and news about the ever expanding festival scene, as well as new and vault releases and stepping back into the time machine to bring you more of the intense psychedelic music of the Grateful Dead, Zappa etc.

I'm pretty sure that if you listen to this show you will be exposed to music that has NEVER been played on Australian Radio!

So..... Light the Incense, settle back into the bean-bag or when in doubt: twirl!

Hit www.myspace.com/icecremekid for updates, playlists etc and if there is anyone you'd think I'd like or you'd like to hear, please, get in touch!!!

PS:  All live recordings played are sanctioned by the bands involved. There are lists out there of bands that encourage the taping and trading of live recordings so as long as NO MONEY changes hands.  It's all good.  Tune In!
