Red Tail Sound

Get on down to the super sound at the Junkyard Social Club’s Friday Happy Hour on Friday, February 6. This month Duck La Rock is joined by guest DJs Niklii and Druubiidoo of Turntable Tuesday at Vision Quest Brewing for an all-vinyl session.

Aside from its OG aesthetic, playing vinyl can help give new DJs a more tactile or embodied understanding of how we play and manipulate recorded sound in real time than using a digital controler might. “The medium us the message.” – M. McLuhan

As at our last party, we’ll be set up at one of the Junkyard’s big wooden tables with chairs and space to hang out, talk, and watch the DJs do their thing.

We’re proud to announce that the recording of this MLK Day edition of KGNU’s Morning Sound Alternative has become the first episode of Red Tail Sound’s new podcast, Red Tail Sound!

Red Tail Sound with Duck La Rock Podcast Episode 1 : Martin Luther King Jr. Day, 2026 (1.19.26)

Recorded live in Boulder, CO on KGNU Community Radio’s Morning Sound Alternative (kgnu.org).
