The erstwhile Aussies of Strange Karma have been hitting the West Coast hard for a while now, and it's starting to pay off with some buzz.How geeked are you that VH is back? "A lot!" Maybe, but will they be able to keep things going? Join Genghis and Ragman as they talk about Van Halen’s upcoming CD, A Different Kind of Truth, and the subsequent tour. The boys also take you through some of their favorite Van Halen tunes as well as what they think of the first single, Tattoo. Next, the boys go down under for their interview with Strange Karma guitarist, Paul Strange, who discusses the band’s debut CD and the challenges of breaking out of Australia. HORNS UP!
