Future Perfect: Tacoma Radar Aren’t Waving Goodbye

Dylan Bird is joined by journalist and musician Andy Hazel to chat about the re-issue of his band Tacoma Radar’s 2004 album No One Waved Goodbye, the thriving early 2000s music scene it was born into, the legacy of the album and what could be next for the band.

“And suddenly we were opening for Bright Eyes and American Analogue Set and these bigger bands, and bands around us at the time were kind of mystified … and we were just very quiet and unassuming, and we’ve still never had a band photo taken - I think this might be the first interview actually.”
