Playlists for Purgatory

Background:

Purgatory began in Autumn of 1995 when Glenn K! and Amy Perry jointly schemed to convince the executive staff of KCOU to schedule a gothic and industrial radio show. The show Sick and Tired had recently ended, leaving a vacant spot Tuesday nights from 10 pm - 2 am, and Purgatory was born.

Purgatory became the first and still only radio outlet of it's kind in Missouri. For over two and a half years now, the show has taken it's ever-expanding listener base on a journey through strange and dark musics to another level of listening. Since Purgatory's inception, the Columbia goth/industrial crowd has bloomed. Weekly goth nights in the basement of a local cafe gave way to Goth Night every Friday night at Shattered, Goth/Fetish/?? Night every Thursday at Down Under Bar, fetish nights, and increased shows with local bands Odor of Pears, Babylon Hor, Soda Ash, and nationally touring bands. More is in the works.

Now Purgatory has taken a new twist.
Long-time dj's Glenn K! and Amy Perry have formally stepped down. Taking the center stage for Purgatory's transmission is Darren Weihe. Gone now are The Deaths of the Week, which previously aired every Tuesday at midnight, highlighting recent and historical passings of famous and infamous people, and those that are just too damn funny to pass up. Darren now brings his own tastes and concepts to the masses.
