Poet, painter, Parisian punk, Patti Smith pal- New York fell hard for the charms of French artiste Lizzy Mercier Descloux when she swept into that city in the late 70s in a cloud of Gauloises smoke and nervous energy. Forty years after it was made, her 1979 debut album Press Color still sounds sushi fresh. Music reviewer, Grant Smithies will play us two tracks from that today, alongside new music from former Look Blue Go Purple singer Francisca Griffin and freshly reformed 80s Wellington band, Beat Rhythm Fashion.
