About Sound Lounge

You read Julian Barnes and Salman Rushdie, you’re interested in the artworks of Shane Cotton and Andy Warhol, and the dance pieces of Martha Graham and Michael Parmenter, so tune in to hear from their contemporaries in sound.

Sound Lounge and Kate Mead provide an audio homepage for contemporary music. A balance of hardcore avant garde, atmospheric soundscapes, up to the minute contemporary, early 20th Century … and a brush with art pop.

If you’re close to a radio on Tuesday evenings, pop into Sound Lounge to revitalise your listening buds.
