Mike Quackenbush and a rotating co-host bring the world a weekly slice of CHIKARA, the independent wrestling promotion composed of American luchadores and assorted ninjas. Recorded live in an elevator, and sometimes other places around Pennsylvania, the show features clips from past live events and mundane chatter about other stuff.
Currently the free weekly show is available via iTunes or other video capable aggregators and YouTube. Subsribe via iTunes for back episodes.
Spawned from an underground comic book in 1987, Trap Door has been dedicated to the dissemination of suppressed or lost information, fighting the forces of obfuscation, the eradication of prejudice and spreading "the luv".
With infectious dance grooves and intelligent lyrics, Trap Door has attracted international attention and has been featured in a RAI news special about the future. Trap Door has also graced the pages of international magazines such as Unicus, UFO Universe and many popular comic books such as Hawk Man and Spider-Man. Trap Door was also voted most original band in the Lehigh Valley and has won numerous awards for their compositions and performances.
Sultry Pop/Folk Song Stylist, Rachael Sage, Musician and former King Crimson's Warr guitar player Trey Gunn, renowned scholar and author Zecharia Sitchin and pure-castile soap maker Ralph Bronner (of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps) have all added their names to the growing list of Trap Door allies and have helped perpetuate the Trap Door vision. Trap Door encourages their audience to challenge the norm and question arguments from authority. Gunn is a guest Chapman Stick player on Trap Door songs Song of Luv, Trammel '79 and Le Bang Bang.
Sometimes comprised of as many as twelve members, Trap Door's Intergalactic Bump music offers sounds - which until recently - could only be heard through certain obscure Montauk radio sondes. On top of dedicated dance rhythms the lyrics inform, educate, and expose the listener to such phenomena as the Philadelphia Experiment, S-4, Exercise Tiger, the ENUMA ELISH and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The bizarre spontaneous antics and choreographed artistry of Trap Door's performances provide an uncommon and fun experience.
