Early April

Back again to let you know that our April show (2 Sundays earlier than usual) is up for your listening pleasure, so scroll down the page and have at it! Last night was a blast but almost didn't happen--there was a power outage at WBCR-LP studios and we congratulate all the staff and electricians who came to the rescue and got everything up and running just in time for our gig! Last night's show saw us resurrect a few tracks from the July 2, 2010 Circus performance at the nearby Guthrie Center, read some UK press, as well as play a chunk of Jim Brady's Feb. 26, 2011 interview with Joziah. Special Slambovian thanks goes out to Jim (and the LD Network) for allowing us to play parts of his interview. The full, uninterrupted version is embedded below, above the players.


We would also like to credit  Simon Holland and Properganda Magazine for the review of "The Grand Slambovians", which we read on air. The article is located here:

Now Hear This!

SHOW TIME ALERT: This month we will be airing live a whole 2 weeks early, so set your alarms for this coming Sunday April 10 at 9:00 PM EST to hear us streaming live...


Wow, so much to cover in this post (I guess that's the result of bimonthly updates). 

First, we would like to welcome anyone who stumbled here after picking up our nifty new Strictly Slambovian card. A long time in the works, it debuted on the merch table at the March 26th show at Proctor's Theatre in Schenectady, NY. It is a 2-sided card that has the link to this page as well as our hosting station, WBCR-LP. We hope it will raise awareness among fellow Slambovians to check out our monthly show dedicated to the band we can't seem to get enough of! We hear that a few have even made their way across the pond with The Grand Slambovians as they tour the UK!  Here it is:



Next (with a little scrolling), you will notice that we have a slick new way to catch up on our show. We have embedded streaming players which will contain the few most recent episodes of Strictly Slambovian, no more off-site downloading necessary! Of course you still have the option to download by simply clicking on the "down" arrow to the right of the player. Below the players, our older shows are still available for download by clicking on the links.

And now for the main attraction--the radio show! Below you will find all three of 2011's episodes, starting with March which covers a few tunes from what has become a frequent Slambovian stop: the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, MA and a return (they performed at the grand opening back in October) to Tupelo Music Hall, tucked away in White River Junction, VT. Don't miss this one, as it contains a live performance of "Chinese Vegebles"! In February we play from the Circle of Friends Coffeehouse as Tink and Joziah dialogue "The Joe Jackson Experience". Also we present 4 tracks from the Fat Horse and Slim musical at the Circle in the Square Theatre in NYC. And reaching all the way back to January, a mix from a special New Year's Day show in the warm wooden confines of Infinity Hall in Norfolk, CT as well as the annual New Year's Eve/Eve show at World Cafe Live in Philly. Just hit play!


Phew! If you are still reading after all the above, thank you :o) With that said, in the coming year our goal is to make this site much more active--look for more frequent updates as we hope to make this a place worth bookmarking!
