Racketeer Radio KFQX The New Golden Age of Radio
Here in Seattle we just had a streak of cold for a few weeks, well cold for us Pacific Northwesterners, but the temp is back to normal and Spring is in the air! We know its heating up in Texas and what better way to celebrate than with a high-energy gathering of rockabilly lovers, vintage enthusiasts, and car show fanatics? This Sunday, just north of Austin, the first-ever Retro RoundUp rolls into town, bringing with it an afternoon of music, fashion, food, and community From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m—all wrapped up in that classic vibe.
Expect the sounds of Ready Betty to electrify the atmosphere with a mix of surf-rock, rockabilly, and pure unfiltered energy. Their all-woman lineup is set to take the stage at noon, delivering two hours of foot-stomping tunes that’ll have the whole crowd moving.
But it’s not just about the music. If you’re looking to freshen up your wardrobe, the Local Pinup Closet Purge has you covered. Forget endless online searches—here, you can browse through a curated selection of vintage and reproduction treasures, all from fellow rockabilly fans. And if shopping works up an appetite, grab some cold brews from Rockabilly Brewing and feast on mouthwatering BBQ from BBQ Fiends to keep you fueled for the day’s festivities.
Want a little extra excitement? Just RSVP and you’ll be entered into the Retro RoundUp Raffle, featuring prizes from some of the biggest names in the vintage and rockabilly world. Winners will be announced at the event, so stick around!
And what’s a classic old-school event without the perfect soundtrack? Racketeer Radio KFQX will be heard all throughout Retro Roundup, setting the mood with the best in rock ‘n’ roll, rhythm & blues, and rockabilly classics and favorites. Whether you’re on-site or tuning in from afar, the station will keep the spirit of the event alive.
So dust off your favorite retro threads, gather your crew, and join us for a Sunday filled with good tunes, great finds, and an unbeatable community vibe. See you at Retro RoundUp!

Bringing you the widest selection of oldies anywhere on our planet Earth. We play the very first golden age of American Rock n' Roll, the vast majority of songs predating the Beatles. On the show, you'll hear all the charted hits from and beyond the Top 40. All the hits & misses from the genres of Soul, Motown, Country, Doo-Wop, Folk and Rock & Roll. And why did you like Top 40 radio back in the '50s and '60s? Was it because they played non-stop music commercial free? No! Come on, it was because of the jingles, remember? Now on the show, we've turned back the hands of time and set the show as it should be with classic jingles and a radio personality from when radio was king, and not television. So join me, Rockin' Eddy, Thursdays at Noon, anywhere you are in the world, to discover or re-discover an extraordinary generation of music and I will take you back to the world gone away.
