Chicago Indie Radio Project Benefit @ Darkroom
Sunday, December 23 at 9PM, radio station WLUW 88.7-FM presents a benefit in support of the Chicago Independent Radio Project, which is striving to "to secure a broadcast license for a new community radio station in Chicago that is committed to local, independent programming, and generally to further the causes of localism, diversity, and independence in broadcasting. The group is working to convince Congress and the FCC to remove existing barriers to the granting of low power FM radio licenses in urban areas, including Chicago."
The benefit is being organized by two WLUW hosts who call their show the "Hump Day Dance Party" (it airs on Wednesdays from 8-10PM, and the party, called "Weird Kids 2: Christmas Bugaloo," is exactly what it seems. Performers include Lord of the Yum Yum, who does A Capella beat-boxed versions of classical standards, the Anatomy Collective, who promise a holiday pageant, and Cup 'N' String, who sing "sea shanties for the American Midwest."
