With the 20th Annual Modern Rock 500 Underway over on WOXY Vintage, I thought it would be fun to have a look back at some old 500 countdowns of interest.

#250 - The Offspring - Gotta Get Away
#100 - Concrete Blonde - Joey
#97 - Sex Pistols - God Save the Queen

We co-sponsor the Amplify New Music Series every month @ Schubas in Chicago. The lineup is always packed with the best up and coming artists around and this month is no exception. From Oxford, Mississippi, Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele will be headlining the show. Dent’s unique vocal style, part crooner, part falsetto, and 101 percent showman reflects the influences of some of his favorite singers (Prince, Serge Gainsbourg and Lee Hazelwood to name a few). His love of various song styles results in a unique combination of ukulele, drums, pedal steel, violin, horns and bass.
Opening up the show will be two bands from Chicago: Very Truly Yours and My Gold Mask.
It’s a 21+ event on Thursday night, May 28th, that will only set you back $10. It’s a great night of live music recommended by WOXY.com to all our faithful Chicago listeners!
After we heard the debut EP from The Deep Vibration, Veracruz, we really wanted to have the band come in and play live in our lounge. And then, after the band performed for us in studio, we became even bigger fans after their stellar performance. So when we were asked to be a part of their upcoming tour, it was an easy decision to make.
The Deep Vibration have exploded onto the music scene since signing to Nashville based Dualtone Music just last spring. All of the attention surrounding the release of their debut EP Veracruz suggests The Deep Vibration could be “a rock and roll legend in the making” according to American Songwriter Magazine—fitting for a band who was actually named by one of Rock n’ Roll’s most legendary pioneers, Lou Reed.
The Deep Vibration will hit the road with Roman Candle for a 30+ market tour sponsored by WOXY.com and Paste Magazine, beginning in the Mid-west on April 13th and concluding on the East-coast at the end of May. We are excited to be a part of this tour along with Paste and The Deep Vibration and encourage you to get out and see these guys live if they are coming to a city near you, you won’t regret it.
***UPDATE***We have a pair of tickets for each of the following dates on the tour to giveaway:
DAYTON, OHIO @ South Park Tavern on SATURDAY, APRIL 25th
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS @ Schubas on MONDAY, APRIL 27th
NEWPORT, KY @ Southgate House Parlour on WED, APRIL 29th
and LEXINGTON, KY @ Al’s Bar on THURS, APRIL 30th
We’ll contact winners via e-mail this Friday, April 24th for all four of these shows. Include your full name as it appears on your license/ID and the winners will be placed directly on the band’s guestlist for a pair of tickets.
If you want to go see The Deep Vibration and Roman Candle in any of those four cities, just drop a line to: woxycontests at gmail dot com before 12 Noon eastern on Friday, April 24th. Please include the NAME OF THE CITY (Lexington, Newport, Chicago, Dayton) that you would like tickets for and include your full name as included on your driver’s license or I.D. so you can claim your spot on the band’s guest list for the show! Winers will be notified via e-mail.
Keep checking back in on The Futurist. The tour keeps on going into May and we’ll have more tickets to offer for other cities soon.

Dave Allen, founding member of the critically-acclaimed post-punk band, Gang of Four and blogger at Pampelmoose.com, a music, media and MP3 web site, brings his weekly Pampelmoose New Music Hour to WOXY.com
***UPDATE*** The first Pampelmoose New Music Hour on WOXY airs today at 6pm!!!!
Dave uses his web site to bring his readers and listeners the best new music from independent bands around the world. More than 100 labels and PR companies send MP3s each week into the Pampelmoose inbox overwhelming Dave with some of the finest independent music out there. Dave also attempts to include as much music from unsigned band as possible as well as including music from the thriving independent music scene of Portland, Oregon where Pampelmoose is based. For three years now at Pampelmoose, Dave has been collecting and filtering what he considers some of the best new music released each month resulting in a collection of free and legal MP3s that can be downloaded from the site.
By partnering with WOXY.com for an online weekly New Music Hour, WOXY.com’s listeners around the world will now be exposed to what we hope they will consider to be some of the best new music available for independent music fans. The Pampelmoose New Music Hour will kick off the week of April 13th 2009 so get ready for “even more new music” from WOXY.com and Pampelmoose!
***UPDATE*** The first Pampelmoose New Music Hour on WOXY airs today at 6pm!!!!
MusicNOW 2009 starts tonight here in Cincinnati and we had Bryce Dessner drop by for a chat yesterday about this years festival. If you missed out, enjoy this segment of the cat with Mike below. Hope to see you at the fest!
Are you ready? South By Southwest is upon us again and WOXY is headed back to Austin to bring you another weeklong series of broadcasts and live sessions from EAR Studios March 16-21. Last year, we brought you The Kills, Frightened Rabbit, The Helio Sequence, The Whip, Sons & Daughters, and Working For A Nuclear Free City among others, so we’ve had our work cut out to up the ante. (all times EDT)
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE: We’re also sponsoring the Hot Freaks! dayparties, and will be constantly updating the site with audio, photos and video from our sessions. Plus, the whole WOXY crew will be Twittering like mad, so make plans now to listen and follow along.
One of the latest additions to the WOXY.com lineup is the show from John Davis, 1-2-3-4 More, More, More. I hope you had a chance to catch the show last week, and are aware that there is a new episode lined up for you tomorrow at 2pm ET and every Saturday at that time.
Tune in at around 1:30 ET this afternoon for a session with North Carolina’s Annuals, who played here in Cincinnati last night at the Southgate House for a WOXY.com presents show along with Jessica Lea Mayfield and Bad Veins.
We last hosted Annuals back in 2007 and are really looking forward to catching up with the band and chat about their most recent release Such Fun. So join us this afternoon in the lounge with Annuals!
I hope you caught and enjoyed the first taste we gave you last week of the debut full length album from Anni Rossi on New Tunes Tuesday. Anni is a classically trained viola player that currently calls Chicago home. Her debut full length, titled Rockwell, was recorded with Steve Albini and is out next week on 4AD Records.
And Anni will be live in our studios today for a session at 4pm, and I would encourage you to check it out. Have a listen to one of her new songs below to get yourself started….
