WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 8, 2010

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 8, 2010

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)

Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)

December 8, 2010: THE SIGHTS live set!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Detroit's Sights return for their fifth appearance on WFMU, following the release of their great new album Most of What Follows Is True (Alive). Frontman Eddie Baranek says he's trying to marry the two worlds of the Oblivians and the Beatles, and the result is powerful songs with hooks and harmonies aplenty. Listen now, or forever hold your peace!
