The Almost-Acoustic Showcase of Musical Talent!

  By ,

THIS SATURDAY, November 12th, WDCV is crazy-excited to present…

The Almost-Acoustic Showcase of Musical Talent

What is it, you ask? How would you feel about an all-night, 100% free concert featuring five, count ’em, FIVE kick-ass bands? Because, that, my friends, is exactly what it is.

You’ll hear from Wild Horse and Video 54, two bands comprising current Dickinsonians and resident Carlislians.

You’ll hear from Trunks and Tales, a one-man acoustic troubadour from Harrisburg.

You’ll hear from Scott Pine and the Conifers, indie goodness from Bethlehem, PA

And you’ll hear from the ever-popular Ton Taun, the official partially-bearded band of WDCV.

And it’s all for free and free for all THIS SATURDAY.

Doors open at 7 pm  at The Depot, the show kicks off at 8 pm. There’ll be great music, cool people, light refreshments, WDCV merch, and an awesome atmosphere. Free and open to anyone, Dickinson students and non-students alike, so bring your mom! Bring everyone, because it’s going to be a damned good time.

 

Here’s how it’s gonna go down:

7 pm: Depot doors open

8 pm: Video 54

8:45: Scott Pine and the Conifers

9:30: Wild Horse

10:30: Trunks and Tales

11:00: Ton Taun

 

You can pick up some WDCV swag, merch from the artists, plus water and lemonade. But the show itself is totally free.

The Depot is located on the Dickinson College campus right next to the Kline Athletic Center, on Cherry Street in between High and Louther Streets.

It doesn’t get any better, and it doesn’t get any cheaper, so we hope to see you all there! Until then, rock and roll and don’t lose your cred!

 

With much love,

All your favorite folks here at WDCV

COLLEGE RADIO DAY!!!

  By ,

 

October 11th is the first ever College Radio Day!  This is super awesome and we are so excited to participate in it.  College Radio Day was created to help showcase the wonderful stations across the country that may be seen as secret gems within in community they serve.  Many colleges have been selling their radio licenses to fill gaps in their budget, but once that happens, you aren’t going to get the station back and a void is left on campus and the community.  Please support WDCV by listening in and telling others what a great station we are.  We love Dickinson & Carlisle and we plan on being around for a long, long time!

Blast from the Past – WDCV 50’s & 60’s Archive

  By

A few years ago one of our exec staff ventured over to the Dickinson Archives to find all of the great WDCV items hidden there.  I’m not sure why it has taken this long to post them but here is the first batch of them.  There are probably 7 or 8 collections we will be  posting so stay tuned!

WDCV’s Discover Dickinson!

  By ,

 

On Friday, August 26th,  WDCV hosted it’s second Discover Dickinson orientation workshop. WDCV exec staff showed first-years around the station, helped them play their first song over the air and had them make posters for our upcoming DJ meeting. The groups showed lots of potential, for excellent DJs, awesome exec members and maybe even station manager someday. Only time will tell. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures below!

Torches

★★★/5

 

This is the first full album from Foster the People. It’s electronic and synthy, but remains grounded in perfectly danceable pop.  Torches can seem a little gimicky and cheesy at times, perhaps even unmemorable, but the tracks “Pumped Up Kicks”  and  “Don’t Stop” are pretty good.  But the album does drag a bit, it gets repetitive, and you feel as if you’ve heard it all before, which may not be a completely a bad thing, But it gets strong again on the track “Miss You”

Clutching Stems

★★★/5

It’s been 16 years since this Brooklyn based band started making albums, this is their 7th.  The lush pop music that has characterized The Ladybug Transistor’s sound is still true as ever in Clutching Stems. This is the first album released after, drummer, San Fadyl’s death in 2007.  It is apparent that this new album was made with their past drummer’s memory in mind.  The album is sad but hopeful, most songs about love, lost unrequited, found. Lead singer, Gary Olson’s voice is nicely complimented  throughout the album by Frida Eklund’s backing vocals.
