As, we hope, you know already, the showcase is this weekend! And we are running around quite a bit, in preparation for the big day. One of the things we have done is taken to the radio. You might have missed A Waste Odyssey, but they were in the UMFM studios last Friday doing the Thank God Its Free Range show with Michael Elves. The boys performed a live set and talked with Michael. You can check out the live session here, as well as past performances by Zoppa and other artists.
