Greg Peters
Australia
My musical journey probably really began in 1979 at age 11 with The Cure's first album. My friends and I used to make mixtapes featuring Echo & The Bunnymen, Siouxsie & The Banshees, the J & MC, The Psychedelic Furs and Frankie Goes To Hollywood! In the late 80's bands like The Smiths, New Order, Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys were at the forefront.
In 1991 I DJ'd on Adelaide's alternative music station, Triple M, now called Three D and this is where I discovered RIDE, Chapterhouse, Teenage Fanclub, Lush, etc and I started going to local shoegaze gigs. Radiohead and dabbling in hardcore punk was my backdrop through the 2000's.
I re-started my DJ'ing career on Tribe FM in 2019 with Vapour Trail. We focus on shoegaze, dream pop, occasional 80's/90's specials and interviewing local and international bands such as Blush Response, The Howling Fog, Plainbow, Austosleeper, Ousel and Dive Collate.

Kris Gardner
Fargo, ND
Kris Gardner has been a part of the staff at 89.1 KNNZ, a non-commercial FM station in Fargo, North Dakota since 2014 and has been hosting a weekly program called Your First Listen since March of 2019.
I am a total music nerd, and because I grew up in the 80's, I have an undying devotion for the music from that era, particularly new wave and modern rock. Even though I am extremely comfortable in the year 1987, I also have a passion for new music.
Before I started hosting my program, I had seen a study claiming that the average person stopped listening to new music by the time they were 33. What? Really? I guess I must be an "exception", as I never quit. I feel that if a person stops learning, stops finding new things, it's basically all over. I don't want that. Yes, I love The Chameleons and Clan Of Xymox, I always will, but I don't want to be content just staying there. Because I was well past that magical age when I took on my show, I wanted to blow that notion out of the water. My focus was not only on playing new music, it was also on highlighting bands and artists that the listener wasn't going to hear just anywhere. I find a lot of enjoyment in discovering new music and hope that I can make others feel that as well.

AudioBuddha
Santa Fe, NM
I am a DJ/Musician/Producer based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Originally from New York, I've been involved in music since the late '70s.
My initial inspiration was first seeing Kraftwerk on late-night television when I was 14 years old and instantly falling in love with electronic music. In high school and college, I experimented with analog synths and played bass and keyboards in punk and new wave bands. After college, I got into the corporate world and treated music as a hobby to escape the stresses of corporate work.
It wasn't until moving to New Mexico that the creative spark started to rekindle my need to make music a primary avocation in my life. Over the years I taught myself Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton, and Reason. Over the years my skillset slowly improved through self-study and the wonderful mentorship of the creative community here in New Mexico.
I stand out as an artist in that my experiences of the underground scenes of punk, rave, and techno/house DJ culture made me unafraid to use electronic textures to convey a mood in composition and love the liberating possibilities of rhythm and pure sound. My approach to soundscapes and music would be "environmental sound artist who not only uses tonal structures but noise and ambient sounds to create a mood".

John Wellby
Lancashire, England
Lesa Hannah
Toronto, Canada
Fuzz Delay Reverb with John Wellby and Lesa Hannah
John Wellby grew up in a suburb of Leeds and now lives in Lancashire, England. He became a fan of shoegaze when he came across bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Slowdive, and My Bloody Valentine in the 90s. John is also the frontman of Last Tourist, a shoegaze synth five piece band who are releasing their debut album in early 2023. It will feature drums by Simon Scott from Slowdive.
Lesa Hannah lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She discovered shoegaze in her late teens and saw Slowdive, Ride, Lush and My Bloody Valentine in the 90s. She applied to a radio and TV arts program for university but didn’t get in and pursued journalism instead. She lost touch with music for years but decades plus a pandemic later, she found her way back and soon found herself contributing to radio shows.
John started hosting Fuzz Delay Reverb, a weekly shoegaze show in December 2021 on KNNZ FM and invited Lesa to co-host periodically. He soon realized how well they clicked and didn’t want to do the show without her and asked her to co-host all the time. After a brief hiatus so John could finish his band’s first album, the show returned to the airwaves after finding a new home on Eardrum Buzz.

Keeley Moss
Ireland
KEELEY a.k.a. enigmatic front-woman, guitarist, songwriter and now radio presenter Keeley Moss has been a key figure on the Irish music scene for some years. Starting in 2020 with the help of skilled Dublin producer Alan Maguire, she began to craft songs that encompassed her encyclopedic knowledge and passion for music stretching back to early Pink Floyd, The Pretenders, The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys and the rich vein that is the dreampop canon of the late 80s and early 90s. It would also be the point at which she decided to base her songwriting exclusively around the murder of Inga-Maria Hauser, a case that had fascinated her for many years and a subject she had written extensively about in her blog The Keeley Chronicles. “Keeley’s Blissed-Out Bangers” is a genuine labour of love, in which she and Alan curate an hour of “new stuff, old stuff, and gold stuff”, a smorgasbord of classics, new finds, and rarities. Bliss out, don’t miss out!

Brandon Dudley
Southern California
I am a librarian and musician based out of Southern California. Growing up in the Bay Area in the 80s, I was exposed to a steady diet of Live 105 and to the diverse music tastes of my friends. I spent my teens, twenties and thirties taking in as much live music as possible and diving deeper into my favorite music genres. Having been a fan of new wave and post-punk since those early years and discovering shoegaze in 1990-91, I've spent much of the past several years discovering new bands who evaded my ear before the 'Net made it so easy to find new favorites and rediscover old ones.
Throughout my life, I have always gravitated to the bassier instruments. Starting with the baritone sax and picking up the bass guitar right before college, I have spent my off hours in various groups and my bedroom appreciating the foundation that the bass provides. As bassist in Echodrone, I have a venue to create new basslines and share my creative pursuits with others.
Through my show Souvlaki Bass Station, I hope to share this appreciation of the finer things in bass with Eardrum Buzz listeners.
