Ben and Matt's Saturday Shakedown - Live every Saturday 4-5pm (GMT). Click on the links to the right for all the past shows from the last few years...

We play flat-cap hillbilly country bues-punk, rock and roll and swinging gospel from the muddy shores of the Mississippi Delta to the delicate banks of the Clyde Estuary

Ty Segall, RL Burnside, The Dirtbombs, John Lee Hooker, Jerry Lee Lewis, Billy Childish, Chuck Berry, Davila 666, Gene Vincent, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Fall, Hank Williams, King Khan, The Reigning Sound, Jay Reatard (RIP)

"Rock and Roll is the voice of the young, the pulse of the kids who are with it, the kids who are no longer satisfied to look at the stars, but who are devising ways and means of reaching them... and to do that means trimming superfluous edges from every facet of life, including music."

The Saturday Shakedown // 15.12.12 // Help Save Norton Records special!

On this week's show we have visitors Colin and Bryan (aka DJ Tigermask) in to talk about Glasgow's benefit night for Norton Records, the legendary NY label which has been putting out awesome rock and roll records since the 1980s and which fell victim to Superstorm Sandy in November, destroying almost all the label’s stock of vinyl and CDs, and much of their own personal collection of rock’n’roll ephemera.

Colin and Bryan will be playing records from the Norton catalogue and talking about the show at Mono on 19 December with sets from some of the greatest RNR bands in town!

Live sets from:

New Piccadillys Los Tentakills The Gus'n'Fin Ukelele Rock'nRoll Trio & Secret Special Guests

And DJ Tigermask

£5.00 entry and all the money going to Norton Records.
