S3 E4: Binky Philips (Record Promoter - Musician)

Aircheck: Radio Stories

Binky Philips is that guy who wanted to be a rock star. Born and raised in Brooklyn Heights, and when 1972 rolled around, Binky was the guitarist/songwriter for the Planets. Stages saw the Planets opening for bands like The New York Dolls, KISS, The Ramones, Blondie, and television. Binky was threaded into the fabric of the heart of a pure organic moment of creativity and paradigm change as a regular performer at CBGB and Max's Kansas City.
Our friend, Binky, was more than a musician. He has been involved in many aspects of the Radio/Music industry including record store operator, independent Radio promotion representative, as well as musician manager.
Our guest is also an author. My Life In The Ghost Of Planets: The Story Of A CBGB Almost-Was – A Single Notes Book features many tales from the back stage curtain to center stage and beyond.
Binky was kind enough to share many of these stories with us, and more!!!
