Philadelphia art-prog ensemble Capillary Action will be stopping by the studio for an on-air performance and interview tomorrow on Adam Winer’s A Basement Show, from 4 to 6 PM.

“Capillary Action songs never sit still and do what you expect; they bend, stretch, fall apart and come back together, only to fall apart again. On three very different recordings (all released on the group’s own Pangaea Recordings label), composer/guitarist Jonathan Pfeffer has drawn upon a wide range of influences to create dense, catchy, and deeply personal compositions that mesmerize as much as they challenge. The Philadelphia-based band has toured relentlessly, playing over 250 shows across the U.S. and Canada alongside Joe Lally (Fugazi), Dos (Mike Watt and Kira Roessler), Daughters, Ruins, and Enon, among others. Capillary Action have also been featured in Pitchfork Media, Guitar World, the Wire, the Onion, the Stranger, and Time Out New York.”

WMUC will be DJing for the College Park community at the Wells Ice Rink from 8pm to 10pm. This is their college night, when only $3 and a school ID will get you skates and on the ice.

Tonight, Elias Schutzman of the Strange Bedfellows will be rocking the rink. Come out, have fun, and work on that Triple Axel! Bring your Valentine… or meet other lonely hearts and find a new one!

And we’ll be back next Thursday as well!

The Wells Ice Rink is at 5211 Paint Branch Parkway, a short walk from the College Park Metro. For more info, <

I don’t know if you’ve got a soul, or whether you’re alive but tomorrow is the day we air our very first interview. That’s right, we got a chance to sit down with Neil Evans, the keyboardist from Soulive, to discuss such poignant topics as: his aversion to onions, intergroup politics, crazy antics from the road… and more. So listen in tomorrow at noon on 88.1 fm WMUC!

Between 12:30 and 1:00 we’ll start the interview…be there!

thanks to adam winer for the announcement. like the man said, 7:30 p.m. tonight at the station, above south campus dining hall. bring a playlist and a positive attitude, and you too could change your life on the airwaves.
