Dim the lights. Adjust your mind’s antenna. The first transmission of Third Eye Radio has arrived, beaming nearly 50 minutes of shimmering, head-expanding psych sounds straight into your brainwaves.
But that’s not all—woven between the reverberating riffs and kaleidoscopic grooves, you’ll hear rare, crackling dispatches from a long-lost psychedelic radio show, floating up like ghosts from a transistor radio trapped in time.
Our journey into sonic hyperspace wouldn’t be complete without a few spiritual transmissions from the golden age of acid radio.
These come courtesy of Psychedelic Underground Radio (1968)—a mind-melting, freeform broadcast created by Ken Reeth, aka Brother Love, straight out of Pittsburgh’s WAMO 106 FM.
While WAMO’s airwaves were mostly drenched in R&B, one night a week, he cracked open a portal to the underground, giving the Steel City a hallucinogenic taste of San Francisco’s acid-drenched music scene.
Listeners lucky enough to stumble upon these weekly freak-outs were treated to sounds that would warp their minds and shake their souls—Iron Butterfly, Country Joe & The Fish, Mothers of Invention, Jimi Hendrix—the primordial soup from which FM rock was born.
Fast forward to now—while Brother Love’s spirit still lingers in the echoes, Third Eye Radio is tuning into the future of psychedelic sound.
This first episode dives deep into the weirder corners of Bandcamp, bringing you modern psych vibrations that bend time, reality, and possibly your sense of self.
Here’s the setlist:
- “Bâyeh Bâyeh” – Mohammad Mostafa Heydarian
