Andi Harriman is a NY based DJ, producer, music journalist, and the boss of the party / label, SYNTHICIDE, which promotes live and DJ events all over NYC. She is the author of Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace, the worldwide compendium of post-punk and goth in the 1980’s. She is also an EBM artist.

We recently spoke about her upbringing in a Pentacostal family in Appalachia, how she first discovered 80’s Goth subculture, our shared love of Depeche Mode and her unending energy to create environments that support lovers of darker & synth driven sounds from multiple genres with no barriers. We both agree that there should be more women everywhere.

I really love everything that Andi makes & think she has an amazing story. I suggest heading over to Synthicide on Instagram where you can keep track of the events. You can find Andi’s page @andi80’s which has links to her music and piles of great stuff including vinyl over on Bandcamp on the Synthicide page.

On this episode of Radar, I spoke with Jon King, co-founder and lead singer of Gang of Four, about his new memoir, To Hell with Poverty! A Class Act: Inside the Gang of Four. The book offers an account of his journey from a working-class upbringing in South London to international success with the band.

We discuss Jon’s early days in the slums of London, his passion for reading, art, and the political and social themes that influenced their music. King discusses what brought him to make music and the broader cultural landscape that shaped their work.

This conversation coincides with Gang of Four's "The Long Goodbye" tour, marking the band's final performances. The current lineup includes King, original drummer Hugo Burnham, bassist Gail Greenwood, and guitarist Ted Leo.

Jaco Jaco is the project of Philadelphia-based musician, visual artist, and former member of beloved indie-rock trio Sports, Jacob Theriot. The music Theriot makes as Jaco Jaco straddles genre: a little funk, a little psych, a little dreamy 70s AM rock. The follow up to Jaco Jaco’s 2024 debut Splat, Gremlin is a playful, elegant record that isn’t directly inspired by the movie Gremlins, but honors the movie’s use of kitsch and camp to explore a prevailing mood of irreverence and introspection. It’s also a visual marvel that is aesthetically inspired by the early ‘90s sitcom “Dinosaurs,” Les Blank docs, and the world of alternative comic books.

Jacob and I talked about the new album, our gear obsessions and putting sirens in songs.
