WKNC 88.1 FM - North Carolina State University Student RadioPhian interviewed The Dapper Conspiracy last Thursday before they played at Tir Na Nog Irish Pub for Local Band Local Beer.
You can also hear three songs during the interview: Thicker and Richer, Serious Business and He’s Not Here. The band also gives a little bit of background, setting the scene for each song.
Find out more about The Dapper Conspiracy on their website, listen to their music on Reverb Nation, like them on and Facebook.
Three of the local acts that played WKNC’s Double Barrel Benefit 11 in February of this year brought their talent to Hopscotch Music Festival two weekends ago. One of these three was Durham-based folk duo Loamlands, comprised of Kym Register and Will Hackney of Midtown Dickens. These two released their debut EP Some Kind of Light in the fall of last year after recording in just three days. The two embarked on two consecutive tours this summer, first with indie pop artist Mirah and then with The Mountain Goats of Merge Records. After traversing the country from Seattle right back to our very own Kings Barcade, the two are back at home and working on some exciting new material.
Loamlands joined me on Friday, September 5th, during WKNC’s live broadcast from Hopscotch’s Wristband City for an interview before their performance at Lincoln Theater later that night. Check it out for adventurous stories from their tour(s) this summer, advice for new Hopscotch-goers, as well as Loamlands news!

Eye on the Triangle is WKNC’s weekly public affairs programming, with news, interviews, opinion, weather, sports, arts, music, events, and issues that matter to NCSU, Raleigh, and the Triangle. This week on EOT:
Contributor Michaela spoke with David McGowan of the American Petroleum Institute about energy regulations and how they may change in the near future.
NC State has been working on a brand refresh for our university, and the changes will soon be taking everyone here by storm. Have a listen to some of the changes you can expect.
We have another interview from Michaela, this time with Wayne Winegarden of the Pacific Research Institute regarding energy efficiency and North Carolina in particular.
Nick Savage and the EOT crew bring you another edition of “Eye on the Triangle,” live each Tuesday at 7 p.m. on WKNC 88.1 FM and wknc.org/listen and available as a downloadable podcast.
A few hours before Boston rockers Krill played to a packed King’s Barcade at Hopscotch, they dropped by our live broadcast table for an interview.
They chatted about the Boston music scene, how it compares to the Triangle scene, whether or not it’s fair to compare music scenes, the new video for their song ‘Turd,’ and where their lyrics fit into the canon of the band Pile. They also divulged some details on their upcoming album, and the positive new direction Krill’s headed in.
For a taste of the future of Krill and the hottest eyewear fashions, look no further than this interview.
