(PHOTOS COMING SOON!)
I believe this has been the craziest and most disorganized show yet...If you missed it, I am so sorry that Sean hasn't been up to set-up the line-out yet...
Chris held it down from 4:30-6pm with his fantastic collection of world music and then Wyatt attempted to take over for a bit. Unfortunately, that's where everything went wrong. We moved a computer into the station to run a program but turns out the headphone jack wasn't working. While fiddling with some inputs at the back a few guys showed up from Richmond, Virginia. Why, you say? To guest appear on our show apparently... and you know that was totally cool with me!
Mark and I ran out to check out Michael Heeney's new show at Designhaus (22 Church St., 2nd Fl.) giving the band some time to get their gear. We gathered a small posse on the way back to the studio and when we put the band on the air we gave it a listen on the radio...it sounded TERRIBLE!!! and we were HORRIFIED to say the least. I messed around with the EQ for a bit but eventually we ended up breaking the radio. We tried streaming from online, but that decided to not work either, so Mark and I told the band to keep playing and booked it downstairs to pay the wonderful guys at Bueno Y Sano a visit to see if we could stream it from their computer. No go. Back up to the second floor to ask Sumru at 215 College Gallery about a functioning radio...she didn't have one either but we were all distracted by the sound of CRASHING glass...a guy was holding onto the window frame and said he tried to push it up...but it just fell out. Back downstairs to meet a couple fireman who heard the crash...luckily no one was hurt. So our last resort ended up working out pretty well for us...we waited for the next red light and ran up to a woman in her car...she looked hesitant at first (who wouldn't at the sight of two desperate looking teenagers standing outside your car looking at you) and then rolled down her window. We asked her to tune into the station and guess what....it sounded GREAT! Turns out the speakers were all broken and sucky on OUR radio... PHEW..What a satisfying feeling! Thanks to that wonderful lady by the way (her name is Jessica and she owns this fantastic little bar called the Half Lounge on the last pedestrian block on Church St.) Yay!
The band who appeared on our doorstep and made a guest appearance are called Peoples Blues of Richmond and they were absolutely fantastical. Everyone up at the studio totally enjoyed the show and we're all going out to see them tonight at 416 Pearl St. They'll be playing a house party for their friend's graduation party. See you there!
