Show 539 - Film Noir

(Weekend of July 27 – July 29, 2012)

Film Noir!

Little Steven here with our weekly Underground Garage pop quiz.

What kind of movie is it if it is black and white, lots of shadows, extremely conniving chicks betraying gullible and greedy guys?

Brand new music out of St. Louis from the Nevermores, King Tuff from Vermont, Branden Daniel & the Chics from Seattle, and a Coolest Song in the World from Philadelphia.
