Johnny Daggers Returns to Internet Radio!

After a five year hiatus, Johnny Daggers is returning to the world of internet radio with the broadcast of his new show, ‘Screwed, Blued & Tattooed’. A show which will focus on a wide variety of music, film and literary guests. For those who may be unaware, Daggers was one of the earliest pioneers of internet radio when he launched the Turnupspeed Radio-Show in 1999. The show primarily focused on interviews with leading musicians in the 'Rockabilly' and 'Alt-Country' genres. Some of the Daggers most notable shows included interviews with the Rev. Horton Heat, Josie Kreuzer, Mike Ness, Wanda Jackson, Donna Lee Presley (Elvis Presley's cousin) and Eddie Spaghetti of the Supersuckers. By the early 2000s, the Turnupspeed Radio-Show was coming to an end, so Daggers decided that he would show his diversity by launching another radio-show, The HeadOnTheCure.Net radio-show. The show would be the first, if not only radio-show entirely dedicated to the band, The Cure. The show aired a countless number of bootleg shows, as well as exclusive interviews with many of the past and present band members. Members such as Robert Smith, Porl Thompson and Lol Tolhurst, just to name a few. But despite the shows overwhelming success and endorsement of the band, Daggers was interested in exploring other avenues of his musical interests and decided to launch a show which would focus on Irish-Punk. The show was the Donegal Press Radio-Show. The Donegal Press Radio-Show ran for a year. And during that year, Daggers conducted interviews with the likes of Spider Stacy of The Pogues, David King and Bridget Regan of Flogging Molly, The Tossers, and Larry Kirwan of Black 47. By this point, Daggers had been a radio-personality for roughly seven or eight years, and after a year on the air, he decided to end the Donegal Press Radio-Show so that he could pursue his own work. In 2012, Daggers along with co-host Brian Cottington returned to the airwaves with the all horror podcast, DaggerVision Films Horror Talk Radio. The two film-makers and radio hosts conducted countless interviews with some of Hollywood-Horrors' greatest celebrities. Notable interviews included, John Kassir (Voice of the Crypt Keeper), Doug Bradley (Pinhead in Hellraiser), Tom Sullivan (artist behind the Evil Dead) and Joe Flood (Mr. Dumpkin of Student Bodies).

We are as anxious to see Johnny Daggers return to the airwaves as he is as excited to return. For more info, please visit OfficialJohnnyDaggers.com
