Hey baby, Little Steven here with our weekly Underground Garage pop quiz.

What was the first Rock n' Roll record?

How many cool people can be born on the same birth date?

All these and the origins of the universe will be revealed this weekend in the Underground Garage.

Joining us will be Little Eva, the Jeff Beck Group, Howlin' Wolf, the Supremes, the Knickerbockers, and a a rare appearance by Led Zeppelin.

Brand new cool stuff from the Booby Traps from Australia, Graham Day and the Gaolers out of the U.K., King Khan and the Shrines from Berlin, Willie Nile out of New York, and the Cocktail Slippers from Oslo, Norway.
