"get off the Cross, we need the Wood for Fire"

Good radio stations are treasures and unfortunately hard to find and if found usually somewhere outta reach of my poor little radio alarm. But waking up with Lady Gaga at least kicks me outta bed - if only to silence the radio alarm with a harsh movement the poor thing does not deserve.
Thank God there is livestreaming! Thank God I can listen to my all-time favourite radio station, Austrias fm4 again! They play the good stuff, and in the morning, the program is in English which is soothing to hear if you can't stand the Austrian accent in the early morning.
Listening to fm4 is a bit like browsing through a massive excellent op shop: real treasures among wrong sizes and sometimes awkward colors.
Today, they played one of those treasures: firewater. It may be trendy to go for oriental folk elements mixed with Jazz and Ska, but these guys come across very authentic and unique. And they are playing Viennas Ost Klub tonight, which is a pretty cool venue. Plus, entiteling your first album "get off the Cross, we need the Wood for Fire" shows a great deal of blasphemy, which is always a plus in my opinion.
Listen in and catch them on their European tour.
