b'It\\u2019s gonna take something really special to top last week\\u2019s 50th\\xa0episode with Vancouver Retro Wave band, ACTORS, but we think we\\u2019ve done it. Tonight, we have our first IN-STUDIO PERFORMANCE in 7 months! By synth virtuoso ROBIN HATCH!! A classically trained pianist, Robin has toured with OUR LADY PEACE, DWAYNE GRETZKY, THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE, and more. Her synth skills are highly sought after, but tonight we have her all to ourselves as she flexes her chops on 3 SYNTHESIZERS and a DRUM MACHINE, inside our PLAYDEAD CULT DIY concert space. We are so geeked for this!\\nIn between songs, Robin chats with our host, GOBS, about her experiences with insane music teachers, stage fright, and a giant, room-sized synthesizer named TONTO. She also gives us a run down of her gear, so synth- junkies, DO NOT MISS THIS!\\nIn honour of our guest and renaissance woman, Robin Hatch, we get mighty eclectic with the song selections. The ride begins with BRAND-NEW TUNES from the likes of\\xa0 GARY NUMAN, RICH AUCOIN, SPARKS, WHITEHORSE, RAPHAEL WEINROTH-BROWNE, with even more new stuff later in the program from THE FLOWERS OF HELL and SMALLTOWN DJs collabing with the legend that is BOOTSY COLLINS. GOBS explores the musical FAMILY TREE that led to NYC psych-rockers, STEADY SUN, and rounds out the program with THE BRIDE (something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue). There\\u2019s plenty of sounds from the TRUE LEGENDS OF MUSIC thrown into the mix. DEVO, THE JAN HAMMER GROUP, OINGO BOINGO, RUSH, STEVIE WONDER, and a selection from the soundtrack of CULT CLASSIC, THE PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.\\xa0\\nWhat a ride indeed.
