Probably the two most common phrases out of
every college student’s mouth is “there’s
nothing to do” and “I have no money”.
Well, on Thursday nights there is no longer an excuse to
complain, thanks to WBNY’s Local Show’s
Glorified Rehearsal. The Local Show takes place
every Thursday at 9:30 p.m. in the WBNY studio (in 220 Campbell
Student Union). It can also be heard live on WBNY 91.3 FM.
Best of all, it’s free to everyone!
This show is a great way to get into and keep up on Buffalo’s
music scene. According to Jenny B., who works the local
show on Thursday nights, it has been going on for about
five years or so, but it doesn’t seem that many students
are aware of it.
“Thursday nights it’s usually just the band
that comes down to the station and plays over the air, sometimes
they have a following but nothing too big,” said Jenny.
Last week, a show was played by Hook Generation. Some of
the bands that will be performing in upcoming weeks are:
- March 6—Dinkus 9
- March 13—Post
- March 27—Skip Snatcher
Some other bands coming later are “Adelaide,
(who was) formerly McLurg Family Singers and more,”
said Jenny.
Anyone who wants to can attend these shows, or listen to WBNY
every Thursday at 9:30 to hear the live show. The band “plays
and gets interviewed live on the air,” said Jenny.
