So it’s been a little under 2 weeks since Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival ended. After taking to decompress, reflect, and (for one of us) take a trip to St. Martins for some beach time, we are ready to share with the eager readers our recount of the amazing festival. To keep things manageable,… Read More
The National have been around since 1999, and though I’m not going to try to claim I liked them back when I was 5 years old, they’ve been sitting on the backburner of my music interests for a while. Last week, The National returned to their Brooklyn stomping grounds for a concert at the recently… Read More
Disclaimer: The title “best band you’ve never heard of” assumes a lot. I fully acknowledge that many of our readers are considerably more musically current and knowledgeable than I, and very well may have heard of every act at any given festival. If that’s the case, just bear with me, because really, why are you… Read More
It’s been a week since I attended the Roots Picnic Music Festival in the city of brotherly love. Funny enough, I went with my brother Finn. We had some good bonding time; however, our peaceful coexistence was often put to the test due to the sweltering heat, shitty living conditions, and limited financial funds. But… Read More
So it’s now been a few days since Free Press Summer Fest ended, and I’ve finally had enough time to recover from the intense, aggressive, and downright mean heat. Now, I’m ready to relive the experience so that I can share it with all of my lovely readers. I know there’s tons of you. Sunday… Read More
T minus 168 hours guys. D-day, B-day, it’s Bonnaroo. John Cheesman and I will be driving from Houston to Manchester Tennessee for what we can only hope will be four days of pure bliss. Tarps are being washed, straw hats are being purchased, gallons upon gallons of water are already in the trunk, and personal… Read More
This weekend in Houston, TX was the 5th annual Free Press Summer Fest, a growing music festival located just outside of Downtown Houston in Eleanor Tinsley Park. Since the festival’s conception in 2009 it has grown consistently, and the past 2 years have generated some significant buzz and have housed some equally significant artists…. Read More
Hey East Coasters! Alpenglow, a pretty dang awesome folk-rock band featuring current and recently graduated Middlebury students and others, is heading out on tour this summer. If they’re coming to a venue near you, be sure to stop by for an incredible show brought to you by lovely people. Find the schedule here and watch a WRMC-shot… Read More
Radioland, I’m here to tell you something that may come as quite a surprise: Boston actually has a music scene, despite what bands like Aerosmith, the Dropkick Murphys or Guster do for the city’s reputation. All one has to do is peep this summer’s city-wide assortment of incredible live acts to legitimize such a claim…. Read More
It’s been three weeks since Sepomana 2013, but we can’t stop taking about it at the station. Sepomana this year was a huge success. We sold over 400 tickets (a WRMC record!) and filled up McCullough Social Space before student musician Will Cuneo and his band opened the show. Delicate Steve, a WRMC favorite, took… Read More
As you may or may not know, the Dirty Projectors are somewhat of a big deal in the indie music world. Or at least they are in the microcosm that is Lee’s recently refined music world. So when it was announced months ago that they’d be playing at Skidmore College this past Saturday night, I… Read More
