Hip-Hop artist Brother Ali will be KRUI this Saturday (3/1) at 2pm for an in-studio interview. Later that evening, Lawrence based Ghosty will be doing an interview and performance at 7 pm. Be sure to tune into Your Sound Alternative — KRUI 89.7 FM.
It’s little known, but KRUI 89.7fm’s facilities are some of the best in the country. Completed in early 2005, our new main studio complex is completely state of the art, yet still accommodates older media. Digital, CD, Mini-disc, tape, and of course vinyl are all viable forms of playback media. We feature 4 broadcasting/production studios in our main complex, as well as many offices for the various departments. KRUI has several very exciting developments in the works right now, but most we can’t discuss until further down the road. One thing we can, as of this afternoon announce: In the near future, we’ll have the ability to host our own concerts. The future of KRUI is very bright…very bright indeed.
- Matt Winter, Marketing/Underwriting Director
(Oh, and apply to work at KRUI!! It’s fun and rewarding. From an unbiased standpoint, I recommend you check ‘PR/Marketing & Underwriting’. People say it’s ‘the best’.)
Indie popsters Tilly and the Wall will be interviewed live on KRUI this Thursday at 6 pm. They will be playing at the Picador Thursday evening at 7 pm. Tune in!
Check out The School of Flyentology blog for a wrap-up of the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival.
KRUI is once again back on the air using live DJ power.
This Thursday’s episode of The Insurgency Hour (noon to 1pm) will feature an interview with Roger White, a criminal justice researcher and activist. Roger grew up in Baltimore and eventually made his way to Oakland, California (the birthplace of the Panthers), where he has been working as a criminal justice researcher at the Data Center for about 6 years. Prior to joining the Data Center research team, Roger was a campus organizer in college, a union organizer, and an organizer in poor communities for ACORN. In addition to his current activist “day job” at the Data Center, Roger is very active in the broad APOC (Anarchist People of Color) movement. He also is the author of “Postcolonial Anarchism.” Roger will discuss the US prison regime, policing, and how anarchists of color in North America are working against white supremacy and all forms of social domination.
This week’s “Insurgency Hour” will feature an interview with Claude Marks. Claude is a former political prisoner and is also one of the producer-directors of the outstanding new documentary “The Legacy of Torture: the War Against the Black Liberation Movement,” which premiered last month in San Francisco and features interviews with many of the San Francisco 8. Claude will be helping us understand the history and significance of this very troubling case. Tune in Thursday 3/1 from noon to 1pm!!
