Stuck In Thee Garage #118: February 19, 2016

Stuck In Thee Garage is a rock show, first and foremost, but every once in a while, it's nice to stretch the format. This week, I played a kickass assortment of mostly new indie rock in hour 1, but went in a totally different direction in hour 2 with a whole lotta funk. Most of it of the old-school variety. Let the funk flow free, brothers and sisters.
