Monday Mood Boost with Rio Kosta live from KCRW + Tickets for Santigold and James K
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

You may know the punchy funk riffs of legendary band, The Meters. Back in the ‘70s, guitarist Leo Nocentelli also recorded a stripped down album with Meters’ bandmates. It proceeded to be shelved, nearly destroyed in Hurricane Katrina, and then sold decades later in a blind auction in Southern California. It's finally being released this year, and MBE has the first single for you on this fine Monday morning.
