This Saturday, February 11th, I'm co-hosting a fundraiser at Asbury Park Yacht Club with our good friend, Sugarblast Al C of the Signal To Noise radio program on WFDU. Al has assembled a great line-up of bands for the southern installment of his set of February pledge-drive fundraisers. The show itself is free, but there is a suggested donation of $10 to help keep the station going.
WFDU is an oasis in a desert of commercial radio. The station offers specialized programs focusing on music that gets overlooked by the big guys, and they provide airtime for Al's excellent Signal To Noise program. Al regularly features some of our favorite tri-state area bands both by playing their records on the air and inviting them to play live, in-studio. None of that would be possible without the generous support of listeners and fans.
Saturday night's show features
The Brixton Riot, celebrating their 10th anniversary as a band
The Anderson Council
Big Quiet
Glazer
So, come on out this Saturday night to check out some stellar bands and to support independent radio.
If you can't make it -- which you totally can, so I don't even know why I'm saying this -- there are two more fundraisers later this month, both at Mercury Lounge in NYC. On February 24th, the bill features Monsterland, SAVAK, and Fruit & Flowers. The next night, February 25th, you get Antietam, Honey Radar, and Big Bliss.
And, and, and... ...if you're some kind of shut-in who can't make it to any of these, you can always head over to Bandcamp to support WFDU by picking up the Signal To Noise, Vol. 1 compilation that features several of our friends like Dentist, Fruit & Flowers, The Brixton Riot, The Anderson Council, Sink Tapes, and more during their in-studio performances on the show. You can, of course, do that anyway or just go direct to WFDU.FM and make a donation.
You can listen to Signal To Noise every Wednesday night (Like TONIGHT!) on WFDU.FM HD1.
So many chances for you to help keep independent music on the air. See you Saturday!
