Punk West on RTRFM episodes

  • Punk West #1: Claire Hodgson
    You probably know Claire Hodgson as lead singer of the Shakeys. Or maybe from one of the many other punk-related projects she’s connected with – managing the Homicides and Beverly Killbillies, playing in Roundup Weedkiller, booking bands back in the Hydey’s heyday, even presenting Burn the Airwaves on RTRFM.
    Claire joined David Redding for this first episode of Punk West. It's a deep dive into Perth's '00s punk scene, covering everything from grant applications to ASIO investigations.
    Punk West is an oral history of Perth’s punk scene. David talks to some of the scene’s stalwarts, stand-outs, and elder states(wo)men about the gigs, the bands, the venues, and the sounds.

About Punk West on RTRFM

From the publisher's feed

On the face of it, Perth seems like a respectable, middle-class city, where people love the beaches, the Sunday sessions, and the cover bands. But scratch away a little bit and you’ll find an underbelly of great punk music. Starting from the ‘70s, Perth has influenced and been influenced by others, and has chucked out some of the greatest punk tunes and punk bands.
