Howie Pyro

Howie Pyro- Intoxica- Tuesdays 9-11 PM Pacific Time

Intoxica host Howie Pyro has been collecting records since his parents started taking him to garage sales as a kid. His love of monsters & weird stuff drew him to buy records that are just being discovered today as obscure gems. Pyro spins primitive 50's & 60's rhythms from 45's from the deep underbelly of the original rock & roll era.
 
Pyro has traveled the world as a musician, and he has played, recorded and written with such diverse artists as Johnny Thunders, Ronnie Spector, Joey Ramone, Rancid,Genesis P-Orridge, Danzig, D Generation, Debbie Harry, Jayne County, Alan Vega and others. Pyro taps into his 30,000-strong collection of odd records every week on Intoxica.   

Philosophy of my (demented) radio show: To showcase ‘60s garage and punk from all over the world, surf, psych, retarded lounge losers, crazy Asian a go-go,rockabilly, monster music, psycho soul, freaky funk, soundtracks, not-so-psychedelic songs about LSD, voodoo R&B... Mucho bizarro world nonsense!

Five artists LuxuriaMusic listeners will hear on my show: The Revels, Frank Furter & His Hot Dogs, Alfred E. Neuman, Frankie Stein & His Ghouls, unknown Chinese beat group!

To derive maximum pleasure from my radio show: Put on your turban, pour yourself a black & white milkshake and lock up the Transylvanian.

When I’m not DJing I can be found: Buying records

Secret superpower I possess: Ability to hear a great record over the Internet with no sound file.
