We honor the profound musical legacy of Angela McCluskey, perhaps best remembered for her effortlessly cool vocals on Télépopmusik’s ubiquitous 2003 hit, “Breathe.” The Scottish born singer-songwriter was a fixture of 1990’s LA with her band Wild Colonials, usually found performing at scene-centric venues like the original Café Largo and Molly Mallone’s. She was also a familiar presence on the airwaves of KCRW, performing many times throughout the years as a solo artist and with Wild Colonials. We’ve rounded up a selection of her appearances and a more in depth reflection on her overall musical contributions here.

Plus, Manchester indie-dance quartet Porij are currently tearing up stages all over Austin as part of this year’s South by Southwest and on Monday, March 18 they’ll make their US radio debut during the 11 o’clock hour of MBE. Click in now for the jittery delights of their latest single “Unpredictable” and set your alarm to catch the magic as it happens on Monday morning.
