HUMAN PLEASURE RADIO

Bill Bird’s legendary Human Pleasure show brings you 120 minutes of the newest in underground trend-bucking tunes from some of the greatest labels in the world.

Bill has curated a free-form radio show from Christchurch, New Zealand since 1994. In that quarter of a century he has broadcast, supported, and showcased unknown and unsigned indie, alt, post-punk and independent music from around the globe, or as Bill puts it he plays “various genres and styles at different speeds”.
