KCRW News


The fine folks over at KCRW are in the middle of their winter pledge drive. Please take the time to call in or donate online. Some of those premiums they offer are pretty great and if you're like me and spend $100/month on DirecTV, then what's $50 or $100 a year to KCRW? We're lucky to have one of the most influential stations in the country in our backyard. If guilt's not enough, consider the value. They constantly do ticket giveaways that are only available to KCRW members, so you'll probably get your donation back in free stuff.

In other KCRW news, they've announced their SXSW showcase. The show takes place Wednesday March 12th from 8PM to 2AM and features You Set the Scene's friends Division Day as well as Duke Spirit, Ting Tings, Salt & Samovar, Goldspot and Jesca Hoop.

The station also recently announced a series of intimate benefit shows at the Malibu Performing Arts Center. The first of these shows will take place on April 24th with Sia (who, these days, lives part of the year in Echo Park). Tickets go on sale to KCRW members only on March 18th.

And check out what blog they have listed in the Music Resources link on their website. How nice of them.
