KVGM “The Last Wave” (12/16/18)

Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It’s the smooth crash of the Last Wave on KVGM with your host, Hammock, bringing you thirty minutes of the best video game jams(z) from all your favorite composers and consoles, each and every week from our beachside studio in sunny Aqua City. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.

The holiday season is in full swing and we here at KVGM realize that the stress associated with this time of the year can be…well, stressful. The Last Wave is always here to help alleviate some of that potential anxiety with laid back tunes and relaxing rhythms. So plug in some smooth BGM and get your Christmas shopping done early. Because no one likes the mall. No one.
