It’s been quite a few weeks in coming, but Sweet Annie Rich has finally gotten her act together and cut the audio of her interview with Corb Lund on October 3. Corb provided quite the interview with a lot of his back story and put on an entertaining show later that night at the Berkeley Cafe.

This Friday, October 23 between 9 and 11 a.m., DJ K-Line and myself will have the Raleigh-based Steve Wilson Band in the studio for an interview and a live performance. They will be promoting their show coming up this Saturday at The Black Flower and discussing what they’ve been up to since I saw them the last time they played the venue.
Listen in this Friday and every Friday morning for K-Line and I (DJ Elly May) from 9 to 11 a.m..
As most of our loyal listeners know, the Mars Volta show at the Disco Rodeo has been a highly coveted giveaway for the month of October. On several occasions, our deejays have feared the WKNC phone system would literally explode due to the high influx of callers. However, like a big bully tangling a nerdy kid’s lunch money over his head, many listeners have come away empty handed.
But don’t pick up the D&D dice or that Mountain Dew Code Red just yet. For the rest of the week, WKNC deejays will be giving away the last remaining pairs of the tickets to Mars Volta show on Friday October 23rd. For The Win!
Formed from the ashes of At the Drive-In, Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez formed the Mars Volta a band committed to experimenting with a hardcore and psychedelic rock sound. Now on their fifth album, Octahedron, the boys plan to shake up Raleigh before heading out on their European tour.
Listen on 88.1 or streaming online for your chances to win!
