Join DJ Danger Venture this Saturday Night, March 4th in hosting Oakland-based band Body Double live in the station.
Their debut album Milk Fed (2020) s a piece which hopes to transcend genre: “I wanted the album to make me feel grand like glam does, juiced like punk does and uncomfortable like noisier stuff does,” frontwoman Candace Lazarou said of the record.
Body Double is playing at KALX ahead of their March 23rd show at Great American Music Hall, and an April 5th show at Thee Stork Club.
Tune in on Saturday, March 4th @ 4PM to hear The Genderwave in conversation with NYC trio, Show Me The Body, ahead of their show later the same evening at The UC Theatre in Berkeley.

The night of the 21st was exquisite as Thee Sacred Souls’ music acted as a mirror into the hearts of all persons in the crowd.
On Thursday, March 2nd @ 1:30PM, Madame X hosts bass player, creative director, and son of the founders of Preservation Hall, Ben Jaffe, for an in-studio interview ahead of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's show later the same night for Cal Performances at Zellerbach Hall on the UC Berkeley campus
Ever hear a show on KALX that you wish you could hear again? Or perhaps you want to shift your listening to a favorite DJ to another time? Now you can! Thanks to the KALX Archive player, aka the Ark player, you can now hear any program on KALX for up to two weeks after it airs!
Last Wednesday, the 22nd of February, I arrived at August Hall for the White Reaper show, with Taipei Houston and Narrow Head opening. This was my first time attending a show as a member of KALX and I wanted to do my due diligence, so I showed up almost an hour early which in retrospect was probably overkill. I had just recently signed up to cover this show, so I prepared myself by listening to a couple of the top songs from each band that was going to perform. I was not disappointed.
On February 24th, Christian Kuria, an up and coming R&B artist hailing from Vallejo, California, took the stage at the New Parish in Oakland as part of the annual Noise Pop Festival. This sold out show was opened by Malia, an R&B/soul artist and Dash George, a hip hop artist. I remember hearing fans recalling how much they enjoyed the openers.
Join DJ Massari on Tuesday, February 28th @ 6PM when he hosts Bay Area father/son band, Nyte Skye, ahead of their Winters Tavern show in Pacifica on March 4th.
NoSo, Squirrel Flower, and Maria BC put on a bone-chilling and ethereal performance that could only be described as a haunting, warm musical experience where the audience more closely resembled swaying kelp than the typical moshing and frantic imagery associated with indie pop or rock concerts.
On February 16th, alternative R&B artist Steve Lacy brought out a crowd rivaling that of the population of a small nation. Packed like sardines in Oakland’s Fox Theater, this sold-out show attracted fans from far and wide hoping to catch a glimpse of gen-z’s latest prince of indie pop. Following a tour plagued with criticism, Lacy provided not only his signature blend of jazz inspired R&B, but also a candid glimpse into the mind, ego, and personality of the icon himself.
