Steve Kramer Remembered

Steve Kramer died suddenly on Saturday, January 19th. He was the leader of the band The Wallets and was well known as a creative force in music and advertising in the Twin Cities. Two of his artistic collaborators visited KFAI to talk about their friend.

To hear more about Steve Kramer, listen to this week's archive of the Pop Shop. Liberty Finch and DJ Izzy interview Kristian Hoffman--a friend and fellow musician, who talks about his time with Steve as members of the No Wave band The Contortions in NYC during the 1970s.
