KUSF’s 29th Birthday Celebration
12 Galaxies
$5
Some of you know that I’ve been volunteering at this little local radio station. Perhaps you have heard of it? It’s called KUSF. If you haven’t, you need to check it out. If the fact that I’m going to be a DJ there as soon as they’ll let me isn’t enough to get you interested in checking out the station, what about the fact that they play great diverse music? What about the fact that they give away free tickets all the damn time? KUSF has been the main source of free tickets for me in the past couple years, and I’ve seen some great stuff because of it: Aesop Rock, McCoy Tyner, Six Organs of Admittance, Sleater-Kinney, Meat Beat Manifesto, Deerhoof, Method Man & Redman, Decembrists, Rebirth Brass Band, The Mars Volta, Pelican, Calexico, Iron & Wine, Negativland, Animal Collective… And that’s just scratching the surface. Perhaps you should check it out.
Even if you don’t want to actually listen to KUSF, you could still come out to their 29th B-Day Celebration at 12 Galaxies tonight. You’d be showing love for your local independent commercial-free radio, as the show is a fundraiser for the station. Those of you who have gone to free shows with me or have gotten discounted tickets to shows when we went in groups could look at it as getting the station back that hooked up those tickets in the first place. Or you could just look at the fact that the show is full of value for only $5.
It’s an all-local bill that’s gotten together to help out KUSF. Up first is Toshio Hirano, who will sing and yodel his way into your heart with classic country tunes. Next, bring on the amour with Salut Matelot with French cabaret music from the 1940s and 1950s. Then, get ready for some spacey rock with The Wendy Kroys (featuring KUSF DJ Carolyn on bass). Headlining the gig are punk-disco-new-wave-dance-rock Numbers, who will get everybody moving at the end of the night (with a little help from all the alcohol that will have been consumed by that point).
If anyone is interested in grabbing some Taqueria Cancun beforehand and making an evening of it, holla at me.
