L.A. Buzz Bands Show (special edition), tonight at 9 on 88.5 FM

1

Join me at 9 tonight for a special edition of the L.A. Buzz Bands Show on 88.5 FM (streaming at 885FM.org): It’s our first pledge drive for the newly expanded, listener-supported station. In between selections from Los Angeles artists, I’ll be telling you about the benefits of becoming an 88.5 FM contributing member — including free concert tickets, a sweepstakes for passes to Sheryl Crow’s concert Oct. 23 at the Fonda Theatre and other nifty premiums. Remember that the only reason 88.5 FM is able to bring listeners 55-plus minutes of music per hour is through the generous donations of supporters.

You can get a head start by visiting 88.5 FM’s donations page or by calling 1-883-885-8850.

And speaking of those selections from L.A. artists, tonight’s show features recent releases from Blackpaw, Desi Valentine, Mapache, Pair of Arrows, Clara-Nova, Sego, HAWAI, the Soft White Sixties and more. Check out the playlist before, and if you’re out of FM range, click here to stream the show.
