It’s July, and it’s already a smokin’ hot summer!! It’s been great seeing all of you OKR listeners and social media followers who we met in person at the bars and shows…. it’s been great meeting you all in person and having some cool chats about music, World Cup, how shitty the movie Disclosure Day is, and even on what tin fish DJ John B should be eating.
On this show we are not only playing a ton of great music as always, but we are chatting up Summerfest, Riverwest 24, and a ton of other fun and weird stuff. I may have been a little long winded for Tabman since his wife, Elena, had made dinner for us and was done for us to eat halfway through and its kinda hilarious. Thanks again for tuning in and for keeping in touch. Hope to see you all at shows very soon!
So, it appears that most of you forgot to call in to request a new karaoke song for either me, Tabman, or even your requests for us to duet a song in ‘KARAOKE’ style!! We were able to go with previous messages that were called over the past few months, but please do call in with your request for the next show. Just call our OKR hotline at (414) 909-2272 and leave us a message with what song you want sung, and we will pick one random request for the next show.
Also, be sure to check out karaoke with Joey Turbo every Wednesday at 9pm at The Mothership! I’m sure you can sing better than both Tabman and me, and it’s so much fun after a couple of those amazing cocktails they have over there.
Lastly, if your band has some new music that you want all of us here in Milwaukee to take a listen to, get in contact with us on Instagram or at OKRCHICAGO@GMAIL.COM if you want to get your music on the show!
Also, if you have a request that you think we should play on the show, or just want to leave us a message saying hello, give us a call at our OKR Hotline at: (414) 909-2272 and leave us a message!!
Now….. on with the show!!
