Off the Air
KCSB Radio show, 1990
A combination of Joe Frank, Negativland, and Firesign Theatre, created by Dave LaDelfa and Jon Leidecker (the most consistent members) and a rotating band of audio goofballs, myself including along with Scott Easley, whose been one of my best friends ever since. It ran from 1989-1991 on UCSB’s radio station. LaDelfa used to host the archive–that is currently offline. Below I have extracted the skits I wrote and performed.
