1 minute read

A dirtier, rawer funk side of the Retrontario experience; ethereal aural memories of staying up too late in front of TV and catching a late show and sign-off peppered with strange music and even stranger people. Featuring audio snippets from heroes like Moses Znaimer, Billy Van, John Candy, Mark Dailey, Jeannie Becker and Jack Horkheimer, star hustler. Indelibly influenced by the late night grooves of CityTV, Channel 79… may it live on in the hearts and minds of those whose cathode ray it touched.
