WKNC at PBaRt

Friday night, WKNC promotions team members headed out to DesignBox Gallery in downtown Raleigh in order to provide a presence at the PBaRt Show and Concert, part of Raleigh’s First Friday.  The event was a partnership between Pabst Blue Ribbon and Paul Friedrich, during which local music and other art were showcased.  Kellie Ann Grubbs, Monologue Bombs, and Lake Inferior all took turns putting on amazing performances while artists created new works and the WKNC team got the word out about our great programming and support for local creativity.

WKNC koozies were especially popular during the evening, but the promotions team also gave away t-shirts, stickers, and Hear Here compilation CDs with all proceeds going to the Visual Art Exchange.  Everyone had a great time and the event seemed to be a great success.

Catch the WKNC promotions team out and about again downtown next weekend, May 15 and 16 at Artsplosure in Moore Square!

Interviews with Kid Future, The Light Pines this Thursday

Here on NC State’s campus, the atmosphere is pretty dreary right now, with exams looming overhead like ash from Eyjafjallajokull. (Too soon?)  This being the week before dead week, we’re all accepting caffeine intravenously and stuffing our gourds with useless information that we’ll remember just long enough to take the test (before it’s gone again, forever!)

But this Thursday offers a healthy reprieve from end-of-semester perils, with another great free Local Beer Local Band show featuring Kid Future and The Light Pines.

And what’s even better is that I’ll be interviewing both on Thursday evening from 7 to 8pm.

Kid Future has promised an in-studio performance, and The Light Pines may very well do the same, so be sure to tune in on 88.1 FM or at wknc.org/listen.

And I’d better see you out at Tir Na Nog with a local beer in your hand on Thursday night!

Nuclear Power Pants, Height join Lonnie Walker for Local Beer Local Band

Independent Weekly’s Grayson Currin describes Baltimore band Nuclear Power Pants as “heavy psychedelic pop, with thick group vocals piled over sheets of synthesizers and stacks of riveted percussion.” Tonight’s Local Beer Local Band at Tir Na Nog is the second of a three-night gig featuring Nuclear Power Pants with Baltimore neighbors Height and local boys Lonnie Walker.
