LITTLE STEVEN’S UNDERGROUND GARAGE
Little Steven’s Underground Garage is the name shared by two related but different radio outlets, a syndicated show and a satellite radio station, both created and supervised by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt to present rock ’n’ roll and garage rock on radio. Both outlets play a mixture of garage rock both old and new, and the music which influenced today’s garage rock. On both the Sirius XM channel and on the syndicated show, one song is regularly proclaimed as “The Coolest Song in the World This Week”. (More from Wikipedia)
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band stalwart Steven Van Zandt now hosts a show on Sirius XM satellite radio called Little Steven’s Underground Garage, where Kim Fowley regularly appeared. He released a statement about his death: “Kim Fowley is a big loss to me. A good friend. One of a kind. He’d been everywhere, done everything, knew everybody. He was working in the Underground Garage until last week. We should all have as full a life. I wanted DJs that could tell stories first person. He was the ultimate realization of that concept. Rock Gypsy DNA. Reinventing himself whenever he felt restless. Which was always. One of the great characters of all time. Irreplaceable.”
