The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from April 21, 2009

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

April 21, 2009: OBITS live set! I mean, really really live!
