Thursday, April 11, Australian psychedelic rockers Tame Impala were one of the most played artists on KCRW last year.

Friday, April 19, We’ll host a rare session with magnificent duo Dead Can Dance. They are a truly unique and legendary outfit who evoke music of the Middle Ages. We’ll hear it on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15am.
