Default Brisbane - Rock radio stations

I'm sure this will only appeal to a very small percentage of posters to this forum, but............

We arrive in Brisbane on 30th August, first thing I need to do is find a radio station that plays mainly rock / metal music.

Anyone know of such a radio station ? please make my day and tell me there is.

If you request it and they have it they'd play it. Don't know about Motorhead though, only found out about them myself the other day while watching "The Young Ones" DVD but someone at work had heard of them so you might be lucky. Can now e-mail requests as well as phone and snail-mail

Bix, I'll try anything once>

Highly unlikely Molly! You might get a miniscule amount of heavy rock, but mostly 60's and 70's style. I used to be tuned into 4KQ 24/7 (my fave station!) but they don't play much heavy stuff (thank God!!) More likely to hear Hermans Hermits, The Eagles, Queen, Beach Boys, Abba, Billy Joel, Mamas and Papas, etc ... you know, the really good music!

If you like newer and/or alternative stuff, try Triple J, the uni students favourite station. Most popular rubbish on air atm is probably from B105. Whilst they play some good music sometimes, they have a huge amount of ads and a stupid cartoon character at breakfast time.

If you like the old stuff, 4KQ's your station - or 4BH for easy listening. If not, go for Triple J is my recommendation.

4KQ plays 80's metal now? What is this world coming to? It used to be the biggest country music station in Brisbane once upon a time. 4JJJ and 4ZZZ play far too much shoegazing stuff for my liking.

Aye, Triple M underwent a change this week as well. All in preparation for the new station "Nova". Triple M felt the market would be saturated once they entered so changed direction and target market (slightly).
