Time Capsule III

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009


This is a tri-fold promotional hand bill from the early 90′s. As my previous posts have indicated, 1190 am KVCU-Boulder, was originally 530 am on campus/104 cable fm off campus KUCB. This lasted until 1998. I posted this image for reasons 01.) to display Dervish, the kimono dragon-esque mascot of the early nineties.02.) The show Dervish stomping the Grateful Dead Bear to death. (disclaimer: I don’t advocate violence or hostility towards the Grateful Dead or their fans in any way, and neither does Radio 1190 am. I in fact own and enjoy most of their early discography.)

KUCB Program Guide

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Here’s a program guide going back to 1997 when the station was KUCB and only available on campus. It reminds me of the EC comics/William Gaines aesthetic.If you were ever involved with KUCB during the 90′s please feel free to share some anecdotes in the comments section before the tyranny of time thwarts the persistence of memory.

I found this artifact tucked away in an old file cabinet. If you read it you will notice that the two people interviewed concerning the suicide of Kurt Cobain were Bonnie Burton, former Music Director for 530 am KUCB (Which became 1190 am KVCU in 1998) and John Martinez aka Jonny Trrrash “Lunch Hour” fame (Sundays 12-2).
