Today in Soundcheck History: June 4

Soundcheck | Jun 4, 2012

As you've probably heard by now, we're taking a short hiatus from the airwaves - to return after Labor Day in a new evening timeslot. So, what are we up to? We're busy in the Soundcheck Workshop, building a better show. We're also diving into 10 years worth of archives to bring you a podcast we're calling "Today in Soundcheck History." And, be sure to check back for brand new interviews and reviews too, throughout the summer.

Today, we're revisiting a fun, and funny conversation about actors crossing over into pop music with Billboard editor Joe Levy. And, a performance from the British art-punk band Art Brut. They'd just released the 2009 album "Art Brut Vs Satan."

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates on our summer redesign!
