Genre-obliterating Australian artist Genesis Owusu drops by Anne's backyard with his boisterous bunch of backup dancers along their first ever U.S. tour. Chance, and a magical mishap would have it that this day would also be the first ever concert in Anne's living room/kitchen. Hear the whole story, performance and a chat with Owusu right here.

Plus, treat yourself to a brand new single from Steve Lacy, who’s eagerly anticipated new album “Gemini Rights” is finally set for release on July 15, the return of Hot Chip to KCRW’s Top 30 Chart, a fabulous throwback to 1976 from Flora Purim, and so much more.
