Show Name: downunder upover
Host Name: lynnie and eugenius
Date: 4-Apr-01

Hi all,
Well things are hectic in this part of the world as it is exam time again. Lotsa anxious peeple mulling about and peeking in to see what we do on Wednesday nights... kinda exciting. Next week we are joined by Oz music lover Mark and the week after a listener named John is going to pop in to see us. Funny how many people dig what we do at DownUnder UpOver...

Madison Avenue lead things off in the music news this week. Lynnie likes 'em, I don't - but we played them anyway. Apparently the band were celebrating last week in the wake of "Who The Hell Are You" topping the U.S. dance charts. They picked up the prestigious Best Dance Act beating out nominees Madonna, N'Sync and Britney Spears. I guess congratulations are in order.

They had an impressive debut at the Colonial Stadium in Melbourne and will open for Coldplay when the British band returns to tour between August 3 to 10. Coldplay's singer Chris Martin chose Zed to open for them after seeing them at the Auckland end of Big Day Out.

  • you am I, damage (EastWest)

That's all for now.
