About Go-Kustom TV

Go-Kustom TV was created by D.A. Sebasstian in early 2002 as away to get local and neglected bands and independant artists on the airwaves of the Greater Seattle area. Seattle has a great public access television system run by SCAN (Seattle Community Access Network)- broadcasting on channels 29 and 77 through most of King County. Various polls have shown Seattle to be second only to New York City in consistant public access viewership, with over half a million consistant viewers of SCAN every month.

The first few episodes were comprised of short films and a documentary about North Carolina noise artist "Clang Quartet." Later as Sebasstian got more proficient at video editing and purchased several budget digital cameras- Go-Kustom TV went out in the field, interviewing Al Adinolfi of Boom Theory Percussion with interviewer (and Kill Switch...Klick drummer) Mike Ditmore.

Shortly thereafter Betty X joined Go-Kustom TV interviewing the band Texylvania and Cookie bassist and lead singer Sabrina Rockarena.

Go-Kustom has recorded many live performances including sets by The Spectres, Graveyard Shift, DragStrip Riot (that's how Sebasstian met and eventually signed them to Go-Kustom Rekords), The Dirty Birds, The Bad Things, The DeadCats, Big John Bates and The Furys, The Earaches, The Dusty 45's, The Donnettes, Redneck Girlfriend and others.

Current hostess Lindsay Calkins joined Go-Kustom TV in late 2002. She brought her own unique flavor to GK TV, with an easily recognizable smile and outgoing personality. Besides many bands, Lindsay has interviewed Gearheads at various Car Shows, Burlesque Performers, Pin-Up Photographers, Artists and Film Makers.

In 2004 and 2005 Sebasstian began work on his first feature film called Hot Rod Girls Save The World (Starring Lindsay Calkins, Melene Marie Brown and Kim Layfield). This took away valuable editing time from Go-Kustom TV. Still he managed to get a few new shows out each year. A Go-Kustom DVD is currently in the works.
