Robyn Hitchcock

Studio 360

In his thirty year career as a musician, Robyn Hitchcock has become a cult favorite. From leading the New Wave band The Soft Boys to his own solo career as a surrealist folk-singer, Robyn has mixed whimsy with serious song-writing craft. His new band is called The Venus 3 – and includes REM’s Peter Buck. They join Kurt live in the studio to play some songs off their new album, Ol! Tarantula.
