Gigs Galore

There are tons of gigs coming up in February, and I can't be asked to compile them- so just make sure you check around your various metal community websites to check and make sure you don't miss anything awesome. Just a few bands playing in London in February are Black Label Society (HMV Forum), Kylesa (Underworld), Black Tusk (Underworld), Evile (Underworld), Sodom (Underworld), Rob Zombie (O2 Academy Brixton) & Periphery (Underworld)!

March kicks off with an awesome thrash attack at the O2 Academy Islington- Overkill, Destruction & Heathen! Other March shows include Dying Fetus at Bonecrusher Fest and the Devin Townsend Project- both also playing the Academy. (On a side note, to those of you who love dragging corpses, Seven Year Kismet is playing The Underworld on March 22nd.)

Update

Hey Guys,

I'm aware we haven't been very active for you lately, but there's a lot going on at the moment- not only in our personal lives- but concerning the show too. I'm still in the process of scheduling a meeting with the higher-ups to plan a Who's Shuggah event & we've been busy adjusting to the new software system.

If you have any ideas on what you think would better the show, please contact us at WhosShuggah@hotmail.co.uk
And to reach us while we're live on the air, e-mail the studio at studio@insanityradio.com or just send us a message from the main page of Insanity Radio's website!

Focus on Oceano

Tomorrow night, the first show of the year, we'll be broadcasting a special on Oceano. Nothing too fancy, just a bit of a focus in dedication to their new album Contagion released late last year. Their current stance in the deathcore scene is pretty impressive. They have definitely progressed a lot since 2009's Depths and I look forward to hearing more from them in the future. Unfortunately they have no current plans to tour in the UK, but if I hear anything I'll be sure to let you all know ;)

And remember, our new air time is THURSDAY NIGHTS 12:30-2AM!

PS- Kit won't be around as he's trawling the mountains of Spain at the moment but he'll be back for our next show. Don't be sad, Milad will be filling in for him!

PPS- The studio cam is back! So you can watch us on the main page of www.insanityradio.com while you listen!

1st Show of the New Year (re-post)

So.... we finally got some dates and the moment you've all been waiting for has come! The announcement of when Who's Shuggah will be back on the air!!!

Okay, so maybe you weren't sitting on the edge of your seat-
Nevertheless!
We're back on JANUARY 13th!
New time: THURSDAY Nights 12:30-2am!I'm quite disappointed we won't be making it on this Monday, especially since I haven't even been on air since NOVEMBER. It's a crime, I say, but such is life. At least I got to see the wonders that are Neurosis (check out the post on the gig if you haven't yet).

Not yet had the New Year Insnaity presenter meeting yet, but I think we might have some kind of Ofcom trial period before we technically get on FM. With that I shall keep you updated :)
But for now, just be sure to have a solid internet connection!

Keep on keepin' on,
~Melissa

Try playing some METAL in the background ;-)

Seriously, any kind of Metal. If you can't think of anything, put your music on shuffle and have a go. And Enjoy.

Happy Freakin' New Year, Rockers!

So another year has passed, metalheads, and we've been presented with some pretty impressive stuff. Snakes for the Divine by High on Fire, Option Paralysis by The Dillinger Escape Plan, Spiral Shaddow by Kylesa & Babez for Breakfast by Lordi. (You know I'm kidding 'bout that last one, right?) Of course that's only naming a few- a plethora of other bands released great albums this past year, like Intronaut's Valley of Smoke & Ufomammut's Eve, but there's really no way I could name all of them in one post... or could I? No, no...

Anyway, we'd just like to shoot a thank you to all our listeners- those of you who've put up with us since the beginning and those who just found out about us. 2011 will hold a lot in store for Who's Shuggah, so we want as many people as possible to be a part of it.

Still waiting for station managers to get back to us with when exactly we'll be back on the air... but expect us within the next couple weeks. Don't fret though! If it takes too long we'll try and release some kind of homemade special for you. Currently considering a couple hour set to cover some of the bands who will be playing Hellfest this summer in France- like the Melvins, Kylesa, Electric Wizard, OZZY, Opeth, Black Label Society, Eyehategod, Exhumed, Triptykon & Karma to Burn!
Also, depending on feedback, we might also try and put together a group trip to Hellfest, for all you metal lovers out there who don't have anyone to go with- so you can share the mania! And don't forget to listen in every week as well as regularly check the site because we might have a ticket up for grabs at some point- and you won't want to miss out on that!!

Here's to a good year ahead,
Keep on keepin' on!!

~Melissa & Kit
