Wayne DZ

A brief History of The Alternative Music Show.. Conceived by current host Wayne DZ way back in 1984, The Alternative Music show was being aired under the title of ThE PuNk SHoW ... joining DZ was a dazed and confused co-host named Governor Kenny. Sometime in the mid 90's with the departure of the Governor, The Alternative Music Show was spawned.. dedicated to filling the gap of hard to find independent music from here and around the world... It's main area of interest was delving into the origins of experimental and underground music encompassing the 60's Garage/Punk and Psychedelic Scene, and the left of field vinyl oddities that filled the gap through to the 70's punk scene and underground music scene of today. So 24 years on, The Alternative Music Show prides itself on digging up the obscure, the strange and Rare Vinyl offerings from around the World...
