  • A 3rd Ear Experience | Robbi Robb

    A 3rd Ear Experience | Robbi Robb
    Sep 15 2024
    Most fans of South African rock will remember the incendiary assault of the Asylum Kids and Tribe After Tribe's fusion of sonic Afro grooves with jagged guitars - songs like the anthemic "Schoolboy", the revolutionary "Fight it with your mind" and the genre-bending cover of Dylan's "As I went out one morning". Songs that are part of a dark period of South Africa's painful transition, and the glue that held all these together was Robbi Robb. Part guitar visionary, shaman, agitator, and psychedelic poet, Robbi has been pushing the boundaries of music for over 40 years. In this episode of From the Hip, he shoots out a stream of consciousness that takes you on a trip into the mind of a true visionary.

  • Speaking her truth | Wendy Oldfield

    Speaking her truth | Wendy Oldfield
    Jun 29 2024
    Wendy opens up about fame in The Sweatband and her successful solo career.
    Catapulted into a helter skelter life of rock & roll at an early age, Wendy Oldfield has experienced multiple chart successes in the `80s with The Sweatband ("This Boy" and " Shape of her body") and over the next 3 decades career defining hits including " Acid Rain", " Miracle" and "Living in the real world". She has also collaborated with fellow musicians Robin Auld and Steve Newman. Fiercely independent she continues to push musical boundaries and is one of the most prolific artists in music today. In this episode Wendy reminisces about her baptism of fire in the Sweatband with the late John Mair, life in a band, going solo and why writing good songs is far more important than commercial success.
