Long long ago, in a bar not too far away, and idea was born. An idea to include Elvis impersonators, kid bands, and live VHS directed dance workouts alongside local up and coming bands and scene staples. An idea that may not have been the best idea, but it was an idea, nonetheless. It was an idea that used two-colored flyers with sharpied band sketches. Legend has it that nothing was out of the question. And that idea that was born 10 years ago this very year, was Radderdaze. For 10 long years Radderdaze has provided our fair scene with more bands for less clams. So we here at KQAL rose to the occasion and searched high and low through the archives, mostly high though, to find some of these bands that have played Radderdaze throughout its first long 10 years. So tonight on The Live Feed, we bring you a compilation retrospective episode of The Live Feed, bringing you some of the best and second best bands that you’ve ever seen sketched out in sharpie on a Radderdaze flyer. So tonight, we bring you live performances dating all the way back to years ago from artists like Beet Root Stew, Georgie, Maudlin, Porcupine, Ruben, Sheep for Wheat, The Sex Rays and the Ultrasounds.
