Half Machine Lip Moves

Full playlist at https://bit.ly/2KDOYQy | Half Machine Lip Moves returned to the air after an unexpected week of absence (i.e., family issues) with an extra long show (3.5 hours!). We started with a brief anti-summertime set. Then we had a Canada Day-themed block of Canadian artists—and explored some of the links between two of the best-known Canadian industrial bands. Then we came back down to the US to do couple of "patriotic" blocks of industrial, synthpunk, and punk rock. We followed that with a dark post-punk/g-beat block, a Summer Solstice-themed block, and an extra block of listener requests.

But the show had to go on, so we heard a song by Michael Berdan's (York Factory Complaint/Uniform) new project; a set of noisy robotic disco power noise; industrial metal; heavy glacially-paced metal; then we closed with a spacey set featuring Coil and Outer Space.
