Aye you're right, it was called Beat Patrol, that was a typing error 
on my part. It was a great show, sadly missed as you say. I remember 
hearing The West Coast Art Experimental band for the first time on 
Peter's show back in the mid 80's.

Were the Chills, an excellent band from New Zealand, not on Flying 
Nun as well Davie?

Cheers,
Neil
