Independently unpolished band who like to be happy. Unintentionally retro. Effortlessly uncool.

Show 12 of Fresh Ingredients goes out tomorrow! I've been going out too - so this week we have no chat & brilliant songs by @dreamcoasterband.bsky.social, Beat Happening, @slowcountry.bsky.social, @would-be-goods.bsky.social, Queen Midas, @genevadrive3.bsky.social & loads more. Will be good!
Promotional image for Fresh Ingredients radio show, show 12. A large offshore oil platform stands at sea under a blue sky, overlaid with bold text reading “Absent Ingredients” and the subtitle “You can visit, but you cannot stay.” Additional text notes “Jonathan is at sea” and “Just songs, no talking.” This week’s show is music-only, but curated with the usual attention, love and care. Broadcast at 7pm on Sunday 8 February on untidyradio.com.

Playing @somehappything.bsky.social's timely, brilliant and needed 'Meanwhile' on #freshingredients right now - and almost certainly not for the last time.

This one is name your price on Bandcamp & you should act by naming your price and paying it! 💚

Sincere disclosure / cockney knees-up: Sunday 7pm on untidyradio.com x
Bright yellow vintage-style poster for Olde Tyme Music Hall. Bold blue lettering announces ‘Fresh Ingredients’. Decorative Victorian illustration of a smiling music-hall performer at the side. Text reads: ‘Sunday 1st February 2025’ and ‘down by the canal… all your heroes’. Overall look evokes classic music hall and retro theatre posters.
