After months of planning, voting, gerrymandering and otherwise preparing ourselves for this week of weeks, the biggest event of WPGU’s year is upon us: The Fourth Annual WPGU & Buzz Local Music Awards!
This Thursday night at High Dive, we’ve got live local bands, recognition of another year’s hard work by some of the best acts Chambana can offer, comedy, emotion and a Jack Daniels sponsorship (which can only mean great things!). Doors open to the public at 8PM and the event is totally FREE!
Also this week, WPGU is giving away tickets to a number of upcoming shows, including:
- Ticket Tuesday featuring Cursive at Canopy Club. Tickets going out on Tuesday, April 1 for the show on Monday, April 7.
- R.E.M. “Win ‘em Before You Can Buy ‘Em” Week. Get a pair of passes to one of the Summer’s hottest Chicago shows before they even go on sale! Call in when you hear back to back R.E.M. songs to win.
Other prizes and station announcements appear right here, sometimes even before they hit the airwaves, so log on often!
Also, be sure to check out the217 all day on Thursday for up-to-the-minute updates on the scene at the Local Music Awards!
Joe Lamberson: I'm a Speech Comm/Poli Sci double major, a trouble maker, and WPGU Program Director. What does that all mean? It means that, around these parts, I decide if we play Snowsera or Garth Brooks, Daft Punk or Beethoven. It's a lot of fun and a lot of work, but WPGU is a great place to get your daily dose of news, sports and music, plus all the personality you can handle.
