This week marks a U-turn at WPGU. No longer will we simply play the best and brightest on the local music scene. We will also get to know them. We’re going out to dinner and ordering the proverbial lobster! And we’re doing it to make sure that you know them, too! These are to bands that are hot, and we want you to know what’s making them sizzle.
In the case of Snowsera, our inaugural Band of the Week, it was their impressive showing at the Local Music Awards. With two trophies and a live performance, they had one helluva night even after the rest of us blacked out. They’re down to Earth and pretty good to see perform, and definitely deserve all the credit we can give them.
To honor them, this week we will feature a new Snowsera song in the 4 o’clock hour every day, along with interesting tidbits about the band all day long and a live studio interview on WPGU 107.1FM at the end of the week. So tune in to hear it or log on to the217.com to read our full questionnaire with the band today!
Also this week:
- WPGU will be at the new Presby Hall on Thursday to give away sweet prizes and show off some of Campustown’s nicest new housing
- Ticket Tuesday will be a double feature with tickets to both Islands and John Vandrslice live at Canopy Club
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.

“They’re down to Earth and pretty good to see perform”=significant understatement
