Downtown Radio’s rock mix is an eclectic, carefully curated amalgam of deep cuts and minor hits spanning the entire spectrum of rock music—from the '50s to now.

    “Paleo” Dave Paiz’s love affair with radio began in South Texas way back in the mid-’70’s when as a boy he used to call in and pester the DJ’s at a local Top 40 station in Corpus Christi. After moving to Southern Arizona in 1977 and several long, strange decades since doing everything from soldiering to science writing to field archaeology, in the summer of 2005 Dave finally made his on-air debut on KXCI Community Radio and launched Bat Country Radio in June of the following year. After 12 years burning the overnight Bat Country oil with a caustic mix of punk, post-punk, metal and noise rock, Dave joined Downtown Radio in 2018 and hosted several different specialty shows before taking on the challenge of a daily morning mix as the host of the Scrambled Sunrise, where these days he spins a less abrasive blend of mostly 21st century indie rock, ’80’s/90’s commercial alternative and late ’70’s/early ’80’s New Wave and College Rock, with lots of exceptions.   Stream past shows at : https://www.mixcloud.com/paleodave Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/ktdtscrambledsunrise Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/djpaleodave Email : paleodave@downtownradio.org
