David Eastaugh serves as an oral historian of the 1980s underground through his primary project, The C86 Show. He facilitates long-form visual and audio interviews that document the origins of indie-pop, shoegaze, and post-punk movements. Eastaugh frequently collaborates with figures such as Deb Googe of My Bloody Valentine and Roddy Bottum of Faith No More to archive the personal histories of the C86 cassette era. His work has expanded to include music literature spotlights, featuring discussions with authors like Audrey Golden regarding the history of The Raincoats. A recent focus includes the Shouting Out Loud series, which examines the intersection of gender and the No Wave scene. By prioritizing technical discussions on discographies and early DIY production methods, Eastaugh provides primary source material for music researchers and specialized record labels. His content acts as a bridge between legendary cult musicians and a audience dedicated to physical media and historical preservation of British and international subcultures.
