WFMU and KFJC Headed to the Sahara Desert in April!
WFMU is collaborating with our pals from KFJC in Los Altos Hills,
California for a joint broadcast from the Alchemy at Zahar Festival in
the Moroccan Sahara. Many underground bands championed by both stations
are slated to play the festival, including Om, The Master Musicians of
Bukkake, Lee Ranaldo, Pelican, and The Brothers Unconnected (Alan and
Richard Bishop) Acclaimed local musicians from the area are also on the
schedule. It's
an unprecedented event for both stations, and more info is forthcoming
on our broadcast schedule. See more info about the festival at
www.alchemyatzahar.com.
UPCOMING SPECIALS ON WFMU:
Mice Parade
Thursday, March 21st, Midnight - 3am
on 100% Whatever with Mary Wing
Mice Parade originally began as the solo project of Adam Pierce, who has
played in Swirlies, The Dylan Group, HiM, Philistines Jr., and Múm.
Over the years, Adam has sought different musicians to expand his
musical vision across a variety of genres, from indie-rock, electronica
and shoe-gaze, to African and Eastern-influenced rhythms. Yet as ever,
Mice Parade’s sound is essentially modern, informed by an esoteric
palette, retaining a familiar acoustic presence via an uncliched take on
folk/world influences. The group blends live instrumentation, layers of
overdubs, and intricate percussion into a distinctive, playful sound.
Their tenth album, “Candela” was released in January, and AllMusic
praised it as presenting Adam’s “eclectic, often globe-trotting
influences in some of his most accessible songs yet.” Tune in to hear
them play live on Mary Wing’s show on Thursday morning, beginning at 1
am!
Plates of Cake
Friday, March 22nd, 9am - Noon
on The Long Rally with Scott McDowell
Brooklyn band Plates of Cake stops by to punch WFMU in the face with
their wise old songs and swirling stately rock, mining the wintry
rock/punk mix (Lou Reed, The Soft Boys, Television). Their new album
"Teenage Evil" is full of poise (and a Soft Boys cover), out March 26th
on the Uninhabitable Mansions label.
M.A.K.U Sound System
Saturday, March 23rd, 6pm - 9pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
M.A.K.U Sound System's
cathartic sonic cocktail takes off from traditional Afro-Colombian
rhythms and soars through the punk-psychedelic-electronic-jazz-Afrobeat
stratosphere. With a great new new vinyl / digital EP M.N.D. just released, the 8-piece juggernaut returns to WFMU for another scintillating live session.
Jessica Pavone & Pure Horsehair
Monday, March 25th, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Airborne Event is glad to be able to share live sets from two great acts
with you on March 25th. Jessica Pavone is a prolific avant garde
composer. She put out the solo album "Hope Dawson Is Missing" last year
on Tzadik Records, has an ongoing duo with guitarist Mary Halvorson, and
plays with numerous ensembles. Jessica augments and extends her solo
violin and viola playing with electronics to create complex art songs,
with lyrics that get beyond conscious defenses to detonate at the border
of dreamworld. Pure Horsehair is the moniker under which singer and
guitarist Garrett Devoe plays his primitive rock and roll chamber music.
He's played with folks like Laura Veirs, Jolie Holland, and Kimya
Dawson. Tune in on March 25th prepared!
Interview with "Yacht Rock" mastermind JD Ryznar
Tuesday, March 26th, Midnight - 3am
on Nat Roe
The cult-classic comedy "Yacht Rock" is the branchild of JD Ryznar, who
wrote, directed and starred as Michael McDonald in the TV show. "Yacht
Rock" made soft rockers like Kenny Loggins and Toto cool again for a
generation of hipsters who longed to share common cultural references
with their lame parents. Nat Roe has studied "Yacht Rock" obsessively
and will pepper Ryznar with many burning questions. Callers are also
welcome to chat with Ryznar as well. Ryznar continues to create TV for
Channel101, and Nat strongly encourages anyone and everyone to watch
"Yacht Rock" on Channel101.
The Above and Billy Gibbons
Tuesday, March 26th, Noon - 3pm
on Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock
British R&B and freakbeat are starting points for these Brooklyn
rock and rollers, who infuse those influences with a 21st-century edge
and energy. The Above,
who previously rocked the FMU airwaves on two triumphant appearances on
The Cherry Blossom Clinc program, have a brand new 45 on the Boppa Do
Down label out of Toronto. They will be playing Friday March 29 at Grand
Victory in Brooklyn. Also, a rebroadcast of an interview with Billy
Gibbons, legendary guitarist of ZZ Top who is reuniting his pre-fame
band the Moving Sidewalks. The Texas psych legends are playing BB King's
in NYC on March 30.
Jacco Gardner
Wednesday, March 27th, 9pm - Midnight
on The Evan "Funk" Davies Show
Jacco Gardner brings his version of baroque psych to WFMU as he wraps up
his US tour with a stop in our Jersey City studios on his way to the
airport. His 2012 release "Where Will You Go" was Evan's #1 single of
2012, and his new full-length album Cabinet Of Curiosities
(Trouble In Mind) picks up where that left off: building on a '60s
sensibility that will be pleasantly recognizable to fans of Curt
Boettcher or Billy Nicholls as well as more recent acts like the Black
Angels or Dungen. Catch him at the Mercury Lounge on Saturday March 23
(with TiM label-mates Mmoss), and tune in Wednesday the 27th at 9pm for
the live set!
Vinnie Stigma (Agnostic Front, Stigma, Madball)
Thursday, March 28th, Noon - 3pm
on Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine
Sometimes known as the godfather of New York HardCore and also owner of
NYHC Tattoos, Vinnie will talk about Stigma's new release, "For Love And
Glory," as well as some NY stories. This is not a full Peer Pressure
segment, but we will hear some Stigma related tunes as well as some of
his stated favorites during the show!
Stacian and Gel Set
Monday, April 1st, 9am - Noon
on Liz Berg's show
Ladies rule April Fool's Day on Liz's show! Milwaukee-based one-woman prodigy Stacian
delivers dark, synth-y melodies perfect for your next robot dance
party. Stacian's 2012 release "Songs for Cadets" (Moniker Records) made
it to Liz's top picks for the year, so don't miss out! Also performing
will be Gel Set from Chicago, with creepy beats and even more minimal synth action.
Thee Open Sex
Monday, April 1st, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Stop by to get your April thoroughly fooled by guests Thee Open Sex from
Bloomington, Indiana. They're in the area for a show at Death By Audio,
and their new record is fresh out on Magnetic South Recordings, which
is run by one of the members with a pal from sister band Apache Dropout.
After a string of deep drone worship cassettes, Thee Open Sex have
discovered alchemical chants allowing them to embed bluesy garage rock
into a cloudy matrix of cosmic sauerkraut and fuzz stacked deeper than
Neil Young's lyrics. Lend us your ears and we will make you a believer.
Lenny Sblendorio
Thursday, April 4th, Noon - 3pm
on Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine
Lenny was operations manager of NJ's Buy Our Records, one of the
earliest Hardcore record labels, a member of Bedlam, George Is Dead,
Priapism, Hearse, and publisher of the zine "Friends of the Deceased."
He currently drums with Devilhaus. Listeners will be able to ask Lenny
questions via the live interactive playlist while he spins the tunes and
talks smack about the old NJ Hardcore scene!
Pigeons
Monday, April 22nd, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Pigeons have a past in the improvisational world and have gradually
moved toward a unique sort of yeye-inflected psychedelic folk pop. Core
duo Wednesday Knudsen and Clark Griffin used to play with the Seattle
freak outfit the Sea Donkeys. They've since moved to the Bronx and will
be joined by Jason Meagher (of No-Neck Blue Band) on bass and Rob Smith
(of Rhyton) on drums. The latest Pigeons record, "They
Sweetheartstammers," came out on Soft Abuse a little over a year ago.
Tune in for a rare treat when Pigeons visit the WFMU Love Room for a
live set on Airborne Event on April 22nd.
Seaven Teares
Monday, April 29th, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
Charlie Looker of Extra Life and Zs formed Seaven Teares as a side
project a couple of years back. The name comes from a 400 year old John
Dowland composition, which gives a hint of the direction the group takes
on their just-released record "Power Ballads": pop music played on
acoustic instruments, deeply infused with medieval chamber music but
ultramodern in the end. The band also includes mezzo-soprano Amirtha
Kidambi, multi-instrumentalist Robbie Lee, and percussionist Russell
Greenberg. Dan is happy to welcome them to the WFMU airwaves on April
29th.
Mudhoney
Tuesday, May 14th, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
When WFMU broadcast Mudhoney live from ATP a few years ago, it was fully
obvious that their instrumental power and Mark Arm's inimitable yowl
were still very much in full force. Even more so at last year's
Primavera broadcast (where they followed up after their set by
bumrushing and taking over the WFMU fairway tent!). 25 years down the
line Mudhoney still have the bottles and bodies flying, soaking up a
past and continuing to deliver the one-two riffage even as bands they
influenced have vanished and reunited at half mast. April sees Sub Pop
and Mudhoney's respective anniversaries marked by a brand new
full-length "Vanishing Point" (their ninth!) and a visit to Brian's show
to rock faces off. They also play at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on
Saturday, May 11th and Bowery Ballroom May 12th. Don't miss this
sure-to-be-legendary session!
Moira Scar
Monday, May 27th, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event with Dan Bodah
A trio of psychonauts from Oakland -- Roxy Monoxide, LuLu Gamma Ray, and
Ryan Bonus Beast -- channel the cosmic entity Moira Scar to make a wild
din of deeply weird ritual garage punk cabaret music. Their new record
"Scarred for Life" is out on Resipiscent Records, and they'll make a
stop at WFMU on May 27th to play live on the Airborne Event while
they're touring in the East. Don't miss it!
