Maynard was the host of Planet Fx, a Sci-Fi comedy/geek/music/variety show every weekday afternoon for 2 years when Foxtel first started in Australia in 1995 & 1996, before he went of to host music television (remember when that was a thing) on Red Tv and Channel V.
Here are two clips from the Planet Fx show one with Bob Downe (Mark Trevorrow) singing Xanadu (to a backing track, he is not lip syncing) and one featuring a phone call to a Triple J regular Mrs Fred Sinatra of Las Vegas (who is actually lip synced, as you’ll see from the video).
The legendary Sounds of Seduction, a full hour of fun and funky weird ass music video…
Perhaps the most exotic and exciting night in Sydney’s history is Sounds of Seduction. Hosted by Jay Katz and Miss Death, it plays the broadest range of music imaginable.
On the release of the now very collectable Sounds of Seduction CD, I did a Channel V special on the Club in 2000.
You will meet the guests, the hosts, the go go dancers and the wildest selection of music inner city Sydney experienced for decades.
AND let me know if you are planning to enjoy Sunday afternoon upstairs at the Darlo Bar, Kings Cross for Viva La Vinyl.
Maynard & Tim Ferguson take their Bunga Bunga podcast to Supanova Sydney 2016. They want to see the colour, costumes and FANS that make it a wild day out. AND they tackle that Burning Social Issue; Rebels or Empire?
William Shatner (Barbary Coast), Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galacticia) and many other sci-fi notables came to Sydney in 2000 for a convention in the Sydney Entertainment Centre. The first press conference had some wacky questions, but this time not from me.
This is from my Rewind show on Channel V, Foxtel that was a weekly retro music show every Friday & Saturday night.
