Kogar's Jungle Juice 025

 

With Kogar the Swinging Ape

Here is Kogar’s Jungle Juice Episode #25, Part One of my tribute to Mad Mike Metrovich, iconic DJ and record collector fiend from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Find out why we call him the “Father of Us All!” His influence on our “scene” cannot be measured! The amount of crazy amazing records that he dug up throughout his amazing life is mind blowing. Fan of the song Goo Goo Muck? Love those insane Instrumentals and haunting vocal groups? How about those crazy songs with one word blurted out here and there? Drinkin songs? Jump Blues with double entendres?  These were all Mike’s stock in trade! He drove the kids and adults insane for records.  While the rest of the US was knee deep in the British Invasion, Mike was pumping out crazy records that most people were trying to forget about!  So grab my hairy hand and follow me into the crazy world of Mad Mike Metro and his progressive sounds. Show one features songs with the Jungle Beat, Vocal Groups, Insane Dance Work Outs, and Drinkin’ Songs! Along the way we’ll hear from the man himself, culled from various air checks from my archive….

“Stay Mad and You’ll Always Be Glad….”
