Silke

When Silke was approximately three years old, she had photos of the Beatles above her bed rather than posters of kittens or ponies like her friends.

She spent some time extensively touring with local punk bands in the 90s at a time when she was actually supposed to go to school.

Silke has had super fancy music journalism adventures that she likes to talk about when playing a song of one of those bands and helped her university's local campus radio station to get it's frequency, which she'd then dorkily abuse to play as much NZ music as
possible. can

She can sometimes be seen working on big and small events, or sitting in some corner in St. Kevin's Arcade, playing ukulele, which may just be her favorite thing to do, ever. Sometimes she plays live during her show as well, listen out!

Silke still mourns Elliott Smith, wants to marry The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra, the Ramones make her want to hop around, she'll play Goodshirt until they agree to get back together, and if she can find a cool song in a language other than English, it'll make her day.

She's also always worried that she'll accidentally leave the microphone on, because she just can't help but compulsively sing along to a good tune.

Usual co-host Hayden is currently too busy to come in but he says he'll be back!

You can send us emails with your own songs (as at least 160bit mp3, no bigger than 5mb, please) or to just get in touch, should you feel like it at all.

We'll reply those emails from home only, so during the show, the email address remains studijo@95bkfm.co2mj and you can still send texts to 5395 (20c a pop)
