Lush Interview from 1991 - WPRB History

Lush Interview from 1991

Before WPRB’s Chester Dubov re-purposed the “Totally Wired” show name for his punk broadcasts of the early 2010s, it was a late 80s/early 90s show focused on the British indie scene. The show was hosted by a series of student DJs including Hugh Hynes and Christian Perring, and for a time, made WPRB’s name synonymous with the sounds of bands like Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Adorable, Suede, and the Stone Roses. In 1991, Christian Perring was lucky enough to interview Miki Berenyi of Lush live on the air. Click here to download the recording of that interview, or stream it using the player below.

Related fun fact: “Totally Wired” was sponsored by a now-shuttered record shop in nearby New Brunswick called Music in a Different Kitchen, which explains why WPRB’s library is so exceedingly well-stocked with tough-to-find British import vinyl of the era.
