FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Francisco, CA: Planet Capricorn, Inc. today announced the launch of Soundwaves FM, a weekly digital radio program hosted by original Soundwaves hosts Dennis Willis and Steven Kirk. Set to launch March 27th, 2015, Soundwaves FM is a 90-minute program that “celebrates the soundtrack of the music video generation,” and will air exclusively on the internet Music Streaming Platform Mixcloud, and on soundwavesTV.com.

They’re back!

They are evangelists for the 80s music video generation and are dedicated to keeping 80s fans united and helping to introduce the music and culture to new generations of music fans.
Willis admits that he and Kirk are having a blast. “This really takes us back to the beginning, when the show was all about the music. It’s so much fun to return to a format that, once again, allows Steve and I to take turns playing songs, and take requests.” Kirk added “Not only has the music, the mood, and the style from that era never gone away, it’s also finding a new audience, and the boys are back in town to invite everybody to the party!”
