It's been called Winnipegs CBGB's and I couldn't agree more. An institution in
Winnipegs alternative music and subculture, among the acts it's hosted are Misfits, Gaye Bykers on Acid, Husker Du, Venetian Snares, and Exalted (ahem).
Apparently Christina Ricci enjoyed a glass there once (Bloody Hell, where the
F*** was I?) Anyway, It's seen everything from the Noise Terrorism of Nagasaki
Fondue to Hip Hop acts(which I can't think of one off hand), legendary for it's live music as well as it's Thursday Draft Nights (God Help You).

Temptation - Friday, Nov 26, 2005. We are sad to inform that Temptation has come to an end. Our good friend , The Scarlet Whore of Babylon has found promising work in her chosen field in BC and as such can no longer host the Temptation Hour. There may be a couple of pre-taped shows left in the station, but it's come to an end. I'm in discussion with her to let her DJ a set on our Fridays at Die Maschine when she's in town which will be wonderful. Good Luck to you, Cindy Luv!!! We'll miss your show!!!

Shop Worn Angel - Wednesdays, 10pm to midnight. 95.9 FM on CKUW. It features electronic/ experimental music. Moody, melancholy and beautiful.

Wild Mood Swings - Wednesdays, 12 am to 2am on CKUW, 95.9 FM. Broadcasting from the University of Winnipegs Radio Station, and hosted by local musical artist, Vigoramity, it features Industrial, New Wave & Metal.

The sixth will just be whatever he feels like.

Trepanation - Hosted by Dj Kohr-ah (who, along with Red Monkey, also run the "Involuntary Confinement" events) this show is Winnipegs last great bastion for Electro/Industrial fans. 2am-4am on friday on 95.9 FM CKUW, the genre is EBM, Industrial, and Noise. Rock ON, Kohr-ah!!!!
