You know we at WMUA, we're big fans of our listeners (and blog readers). We just love to make you smile, whether its the music we pump through the frequencies and online streams, the on-air giveaways we surprise you with, the record festivals we organize now and then, or the badA$$ free concerts we like to throw every coupla months. And our FREE SUMMER KICK OFF CONCERT on June 15th is no exception!!!In the words of that seductive chanteuse, Alice Cooper, "schooool's out for summer!", but that doesn't mean we've forgotten about our loyal local listeners (nor does it mean that our summer programming is any less balls-2-tha-wall). That's why when These Are Powers asked us to help them get a show together in the valley, we were like BRING IT OWWWN! Yadda yadda yadda, here's a press release...
"WMUA 91.1fm is launching off the summer season with a free avant-garde rock concert on Monday, June 15th at the Earthfoods Cafe in the UMass Campus Center. The line-up features UMass' resident soundscapers Hadoken, the debut performance by Amherst instrumental punk melody-makers Fossil Mountain, psychedelic post-rock from Houston's Golden Cities, and is headlined by Brooklyn's experimental dance-deconstructionists These Are Powers. Currently traversing the East Coast to promote their sophomore album on Dead Oceans, All Aboard Future, These Are Powers (press kit) combine elements of noise, electronic, dance and punk into a heavy sonic assault that promises a memorable live show.
The show will start at 8pm, doors will open at 7:30. Mark your calendars and help us spread the word about this free, exciting evening of underground rock and roll. Please contact publicity@wmua.org or visit http://www.wmua.org/ for more information."
