Family Stereo – in session – John Kennedy – X-Posure – Radio X – September 8, 2023 – Radio X, London –
Family Stereo in session tonight. Recorded live over Radio X in London for John Kennedy’s X-Posure program on September 8, 2023.
“Family Stereo began in 2018 with Blake Watt recording his songs on an 8-track and self-releasing his first single, ‘Foolproof’, on Spotify in 2019. Now a full four-piece band, their sound is pared-back, soft and steeped in something like nostalgia, with Watt’s lyricism reflecting on dreams and summer’s past. ‘My Favourite Band’, released in 2020, and ‘Robot Boy’, their most recent song released in December 2022, seem to look up into the world of aliens and outer space whilst always keeping firmly rooted in the tender human soul. This must touch something in people: with their combined streams surmounting over 70,000, a recent feature in Wonderland Magazine and a number of live dates penned in the schedule, Family Stereo is one to stick around for.”
According to Romilly Shulte at Era Journal from January 17th of this year.
Getting ready for a series of dates around the UK, this session for Radio X celebrates the the release in August of their debut ep Matter, which has been getting a lot of positive reviews and good word-of-mouth.
And if you aren’t familiar with Family Stereo, by all means – press Play and dive into something special.
Summer is over and everybody is heading back to work or school. If you’re in school you’re probably knee-deep in History – tests, reports, papers – homework. Reading about things that happened decades before you were born – can’t quite wrap your head around it. If you’re a teacher, it’s like pulling teeth to get your students even remotely interested in what happened before they were born. If you’re at work, you may be one of those people in middle-management who have to do presentations – something to amaze your boss and your colleagues – no pressure, but you have to deliver the goods, usually yesterday. Not to brag, but Past Daily is one website where you can find out about a lot of things you didn’t know about – hear things you aren’t familiar with – and by becoming a subscriber you can download all this audio (at last count over 10,000 sound files) you can build your own reference library, a mouse click away. You can also go exploring by using the Search Engine to dig deep.
You can do all that if you become a subscriber with Patreon – subscribing for as little as $5.00 a month, you have access to all this history, pop culture, music, famous and not-so-famous people, to download and keep forever.
