BYRD TALK

IMC Radio is the home of this informative talk show that covers the fundamentals of breaking into the music and entertainment industries. We like to call it reality radio. Each Saturday and Sunday at midnight, and then again at noon on those days, Byrd Talk airs with your hosts Duane Lamb and Byrd Pressley. We know that many of you may be gigging or traveling, or even resting at those times. Wtih that in mind, we are proud to provide the previous week's edition of the show below for your enjoyment.

Saturday,  August 18, 2007 -- Kiley Bland (Guitar / Lead Vocals), Steve Cox (drums) and Adam Hoffoss (bass / vocals) are three southern boys from the ARK-LA-TX area who make up the band Junior. Kiley stopped in to  to give us the low-down on the band and what they've been up to. We all know the music business can be tough but damned, Houston, Texas has not been good to this band! On a recent visit to Houston the guys had their van stolen along all of their equipment. If there's anybody in the Houston, Texas area that knows anything about the theft contact the guys through their label (Toucan Cove Entertainment) or contact us here at the station so that we can help the guys get their stuff back. The full story is below. Enjoy!
