Martin Newell played in various glam rock bands in the 1970s. Then, in the 1980s, dismayed with record companies wanting him to play by their rules, he started his group The Cleaners From Venus and released their albums on cassette. They've released dozens of albums since the beginning when they were "liberating" blank cassettes from shops in England so they could give them away for free. My panel discusses their music, and then we have a long-form, very entertaining conversation with Mr. Newell, and we premier a couple new tracks from a future album. This is our first international guest on the program and it was a real blast!
