The BLACK CHANNEL BIO-Page

BIO 1

We are running our first radio show SHOCKING YOUTH SPECIAL (on Radio Dreyeckland Freiburg) since 1989! The second called BLACK CHANNEL  (on Querfunk Karlsruhe an other radio station) since 1995. You see we have some deep experiences in this music scene. We are  following the scene since 1986 and we are  supporting magazines and alternative-(uncommercial  and against mass media industry)-radio stations  since 1987.  This was the time the illegal radio station  Radio Dreyeckland changed to  a legal and the first so called FREE radio station !
