Trash Disco was a show dedicated to 80s New Wave/Alternative and 90s Britpop and Alternative. It played the alternative, the obscure and the strangely familiar, which meant you heard album tracks, B-sides and extended mixes as well as the tunes you know and love.
We also brought you new stuff from your fave 80s artists and contemporary artists who have an 80s/90s feel.
On the first Friday of each month, we had a theme night. It might be dedicated to a band/artist, it could be something as abstract as colours or fruit, or it could be any tenuous link we choose to put forth. Below is a list (latest at the top) of what we’ve done so far.
