Debbie Harry came into the Triple J studios in William St, Kings Cross the night after her Sydney show at Enmore Theatre in March 1990. I was told I only had 5 minutes and I tried to make the most of it with a bemused Ms Harry.

It was probably the first time I’d had someone as famous as her actually in the studio, usually they had been on the phone. This was pre recorded to good onto my Triple J Breakfast show the following morning. Chris Norris produced the interview up while I tried to get a few hours sleep.

We covered perhaps the most important question of all that Deborah Harry has ever been asked; What exactly is your favourite disco song?

Bunga Bunga 24 with Tim Ferguson & Maynard proves once again that cats will save democracy and look cute doing it. But what of Tim’s cat Kitler? What exactly is Kitler plotting in Tim’s Fortress of Arrogance? Maynard has been invited to this frosty yet smelly destination to ask Tim’s opinion of comedy critics, Communists and Melissa Tkautz. Bunga Bunga promises you the dear listener, a white knuckle ride to the very end of a show in search of a format.

This show is for James Travel & Dr Rachie. Our two latest Patreon supporters.

The legendary Frank Bennett played Lizottes in Newcastle recently and Maynard was there to capture the swinging’ groove & atmosphere. Along with Pete Porker & Mitch Capone a classy evening was almost had by all. Seeing Frank Bennett in his undies only added to the 1960s vibe of the show. Go see him live people.

Have a look at Frank Bennett’s Facebook page for his next show.

Bunga Bunga 23 comes to you direct from the Tim Ferguson Fortress of Arrogance, where Maynard & Kitler the cat listen to Tim rant on the most important political happenings from Australia’s history. But more importantly, are Star Wars, Dr Who, Prince or Morrissey really any good?

Catch up on the upcoming DAAS and Maynard live shows and discover Tim’s favourite Spice Girl. But just how many of them has Maynard met.

Bring out your sacred cows, Ferguson is hungry.

DJ Paul Holden has been working for 36 years as a DJ across Australia. He was behind the Bacchanalia parties during the Dance Party years of 1988-92, which are the sounds that he’ll be playing at Jack The House 2 this Friday night at The Sly Fox in Sydney.

Sitting on his rooftop in Sydney, Paul Holden elaborates on what he’ll be playing in his set and what still excites him about being a DJ. AND about the satin tracksuit outfit that is his secret weapon for this weekend.

Ivan Doroschuk is Men Without Hats who had hits with The Safety Dance in August 1983 & Pop Goes The World in February 1988 in Australia. The Safety Dance was about dancers pogoing in nightclubs, while Pop Goes The World was about the 80s nuclear threat. Ivan Doroschuk is touring Australia for the first time in July with the Totally 80s tour. How does he feel about his song being on The Simpsons so often?

Paul Lekakis had a number one hit in Australia for 5 weeks in 1987 with Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back to My Room). But the hit dance track was recorded much earlier in Italy. Lively Paul Lekakis is a model/dancer/actor/singer that is coming to Australia as part of the Totally 80s tour and he’s never been to Australia before. I ask Paul the important question, what are you going to wear?

Bunga Bunga, the show in search of a reason returns for 2016 like a lost pet that poops on your floor. Tim Ferguson speaks out from his Fortress of Arrogance about movies (especially the one with Village People) reviewers (hint; he doesn’t like them) and handy hints for travellers (don’t swallow your passport).

Maynard & Tim have a lot to say about Weird Al Yankovic, The Greens, pan pipes, bug out bags & yes, Savage Garden.

And in what is sure to become a heart warming family moment Tim explains to Maynard what an aphorism and a phoofer gun is.

You won’t learn a thing by the end of Bunga Bunga 21, but you will be wiser.
