Legendary Springs garage band reveal the truth about ZX Dan....
Jonathan Handley (guitarist & songwriter, Dave Davies (vocalist).
If you were tuned into South African music in the late `70s you couldn't help but remember a strange but compelling song called "ZX Dan" wafting across the pop airwaves. This tale of a travelling spaceman remains one of the greatest songs in the SA rock universe. Helmed by guitarist/song writer Jonathan Handley and vocalist Dave Davies, Radio Rats remain one of the most independent and enigmatic groups and in this highly amusing episode they wax lyrical about life in the East Rand, why drummers want to be guitarists, drive-ins and the lowdown on the making of the classic " Into the night we slide" album.
