This Saturday, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., I will be hosting Cause & Effect on WRIR 97.3FM Richmond Community Radio!

My subject for the show will be Frank Tovey, i.e. 𝗙𝗮𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁. Fad Gadget was the first artist signed to Mute Records and has been cited as a major influence for artists like Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy and Liars.

For the past few months I have been collecting and poring over all of his albums as Fad Gadget, Mkultra, under his own name, and as Frank Tovey & the Pyros. I've listened to a myriad amount of covers of his songs and to his side projects and soundscape work.

And, I'm distilling this all down to a two hour show to give a survey of the career and recorded output of Frank Tovey!

If you're not familiar with Frank Tovey, but like early Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Soft Cell, The Human League, Depeche Mode or Heaven 17, this show might be of interest to you!

This Saturday from 1-3 pm on WRIR 97.3FM Richmond Community Radio tune into Cause & Effect as we cover the music, history and influences of Frank Tovey (Fad Gadget). This week’s host will be LJ. Thanks for tuning in!
