This Wednesday, the 25th of January, we will be having the First General Meeting of the year! We have a lot to talk about: the Texas Student Media survey is coming up and we need to spread the word about KVRX, we have been doing successful remotes around campus, we've got Pledge Drive and SXSW and concerts coming up. The meeting is mandatory for current DJs and open to anyone who is interested in being a DJ or volunteering at the station.
See you there! 7pm, January 25, BUR 112.
tune in at 10pm for the artist hour which tonite will showcase the southern rock miserablism of harvey milk. every craggy facet of the band will be explored, from crushing dirge to bell bottom bombast to sad-hearted gossamer. DON'T MISS IT.
On October 22nd, I took a trip back in time. After being referred to this group by Aquarium Drunkard, I took a listen and was instantly captivated by Athens, AL natives The Alabama Shakes. Although their recordings are a force to be reckoned with, seeing this band live is best way to fully comprehend the nostalgic energy and southern grandiosity that the Shakes bring to the table. The first impression is quickly made by frontwoman Brittany Howard, whs' howls, yelps, and sporadic guitar work serve to clearly define the bands sound. The amount of energy and soul she pours into her performance is clear when she finishes each song sweat-soaked and out of breath. The Shakes are by no means defined by Howard alone though, as she is backed by an extremely tight group of musicians, who play with the tightness and swagger of a classic R&B group (kind of like a humble version of the Dap-Kings). Point being, this show will definitely sell out, and I sure as hell want to be there.
