We recently unearthed two cassettes from our archives containing a live recording of an interview on Bozeman, Montana’s KGLT radio show at Montana State University. Recorded live on April 26th, 1993, this show took place mere months before Jason graduated from high school and moved to Minneapolis to continue playing death metal.During the broadcast, the host, Bob Kleinjan, and Jason played music, discussed death metal, and promoted an upcoming festival in Bozeman, which marked the final performance of Jason’s high school band, V.B.G.We invite you to take this trip back in time with us. Please enjoy the old local commercials, brand new tunes from 1993, and this glimpse into the past.--------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.Produced by Jason Walton for Earth in Sound Productions.--------------------Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: IHM PatreonFollow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, and visit us online: I Hate Music LinktreeEmail and listener suggestions to: [email protected]- Part of the Distorted Paths Podcast Network - Hosted on Acast.
