Shaun Histed-Todd ( Snuffers )<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shaun Histed\u2011Todd \u2014 Sonic Architect of Wicked Spins Radio<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Show: The Snuff Monkey Radio Show<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

Shaun Histed\u2011Todd is the person who keeps the cogs turning, the site running, the DJs organised, and the station\u2019s identity alive. Shaun has been at the heart of its transformation from a US\u2011based rock and metal station into a global alternative music community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Wicked Spins Radio,<\/a> all of this history converges. Shaun designs and maintains the entire digital presence \u2014 the website, the branding, the player, the visual identity \u2014 and curates the station\u2019s expanding roster of DJs and shows. He is also the curator and host of The Snuff Monkey Radio Show, which has been running for over sixteen years. Through Snuff Monkey, Shaun has welcomed conversations and chaos with some of the most influential figures in alternative music, including Al Jourgensen (Ministry), Mark Stewart (The Pop Group), Aki Nawaz (The Southern Death Cult \/ Funmental), Michael Gira (Swans) and many more. WSR has always kept good company, and Snuff Monkey is one of the main reasons why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His connection to alternative culture runs deep. Growing up in West London, Shaun quickly grew tired of chart music and gravitated toward the raw energy of The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Bauhaus. By the late 80s, he was haunting the live alternative club scene around Camden and Charing Cross Road, soaking up the atmosphere of London\u2019s underground. Brunel University\u2019s student bar opened the door to a whole new world of post\u2011punk and alternative rock \u2014 The Mekons, Thee Hypnotics, Gaye Bykers on Acid, Crazyhead, Transvision Vamp \u2014 but it was Cardiacs who changed everything. Their unclassifiable, chaotic brilliance rewired his understanding of what a band could be. A genuine game\u2011changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early \u201990s, Shaun toured Europe with a post-punk\/gothic rock band, gaining a front\u2011row view of the chaos, creativity, and energy of life on the road. The experience sharpened his ear and taught him to \u201chear with his eyes,\u201d understanding performance as an art form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the mid\u2011\u201990s, he was living in The House of Slack \u2014 a chaotic Watford creative commune filled with musicians, poets, and misfits. Shaun survived through photography and band work, capturing the raw spirit of the scene. This era also sparked Midnight Alchemy<\/a>, his long\u2011running identity as a photographer and graphic artist, whose dark, atmospheric visuals now shape Wicked Spins Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His path later moved into Jungle, working with a company connected to Good Looking Records, LTJ Bukem, and Intense, expanding his musical world once again.
After relocating to London and then Devon, Shaun stayed active in live music, running events and hosting Klub Wicked nights at Slimelight\/Electrowerkz. There he reconnected with a longtime friend, Hawkeye, leading to the creation of Alice\u2019s Wicked Tea Party<\/a> in 2015 \u2014 a grassroots festival dedicated to boundary\u2011pushing bands.
For Shaun, Wicked Spins Radio is the culmination of a lifetime spent championing the weird, the wonderful, and the uncompromising voices of the alternative world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
