Tim Foster is an icon of the Sacramento cultural scene. As the kinetic frontman of bands such as Th' Losin Streaks and the Troublemakers, he's brought high-energy, '60s-infused garage rock to small dive bars and big festival stages across the U.S. and Europe. He is a fixture in the Sacramento journalistic scene as the executive director of Capitol Weekly and was the co-publisher of the late Midtown Monthly, an important chronicle of the Sacramento art and music scene in the early 2000s. And he's a collector of obscure vintage vinyl, vintage guitars and vintage cars. Tim joined Eddy in the KDRT studio to spin some records and discuss his bands, garage rock, the changing Sacramento music scene and California politics.
