Yo! We just put everything we’ve ever put out up for “pay what you want” on our bandcamp. If you guys like downloading songs in twos (I know you do!!!) click the link and peep them 7”s!!!
We at WQAQ love Sundials, so this is awesome. There’s no reason not to check this out.
Hey Guys,
You may remember back in February WQAQ hosted a small show in the Cafe with The Guru and Fridge and the Spin$. Well recently, besides dropping the dollar sign off their name (a decision I can’t say I fully support), Fridge and the Spins have released their first full length. It’s full of synth pop/rock goodness and includes many of the songs they played at QU in February including many new ones! So check it out! It’s FREE! It’s AWESOME.
Recommended Tracks: Bom Dizzy, Night Like Fire, God in Good Times (my all time favorite Spins track), Sarah Belle
SINGLE MOTHERS - Hell (Is My Backup Plan)
Ever since finding out about Single Mothers over spring break I find myself unable to stop listening to them. My love for the Hold Steady should be well known at this point; Single Mothers is essentially an hardcore version of The Hold Steady sent from an alternate universe where the consequence of not rocking is death. Make sense? It probably doesn’t until you listen to it. Which you totally should.
Because we’ve had one fabulous college radio week.
First of all, thanks again to everyone who came out to Festapalooza last Friday! It was one of the best events WQAQ has hosted in recent history, and featured crowd surfing, beach balls, dancing, broken glasses, and first-pumping. It was magical. Not in a romantic way. But definitely in a college radio/punk rock sort of way. (Thanks also to our staff members who helped set up, and stayed to clean up until 1:30am.)
Check out the event review via Quad News here!
On Saturday, WQAQ management & staff members attended the first annual (?!) student media banquet. General Manager Kyle Murphy impressed everyone with a heart-warming speech, announced that Music Director Benjamin Goodheart had won the election for next year’s GM, and honored other managers with prestigious awards. I won “Most Hummus Consumed in the WQAQ Office.”

Throughout the week our managers hosted info sessions on their positions for staff members who are running for management next year. So far we’ve got an awesome group of contenders. General staff: you don’t want to miss next week’s meeting!

July 10th 2010 may have been the first truly beautiful day of my life. If the previous March was the watershed month that set my life on the course that it’s been on for the past two years, then July 10th was the first real manifestation of that change. That night, Titus Andronicus played a…
The Guru - Beach Monster
FESTAPALOOZA IS ONE DAY AWAY!
Make sure you come early to see our opening acts, including The Midnighters, Great Caesar, and The Guru! The Guru hail from Connecticut and are sort of surfy, sort of psychedelic, extremely cool/calm/collected, and you’ll like them if you’re fond of things that are fun.
But if you’re working and can’t make the start of the show, do not fret! There will still be tons of awesome music and food for you to enjoy.
See you soon!
Replay Records on Whitney Ave in Hamden will be having a midnight opening for Record Store Day (4/21)!
Replay will be open for one hour, starting at 12am. …What? Does that make this the first place in CT where you can buy these releases? YUP. Their final list will be available tomorrow night @ replayrecordsct.com.
If you absolutely can’t make it to the midnight opening because you break your leg or your car gets stolen, they’ll be open normal hours on Saturday from 10am-5pm.
Happy Record Store Day, friends!
We’re busy promoting #FESTAPALOOZA here at WQAQ, and we just got in promotional beach balls. Prepare for a bunch of these to be going around at the show!
Bomb The Music Industry! - 25!
Too many exclamation marks? I disagree! Personally, I don’t think there could be enough as BTMI is going to perform at WQAQ’s #FESTAPALOOZA this Friday! Also on the bill are TITUS ANDRONICUS, THE FRONT BOTTOMS, THE GURU, GREAT CEASAR, and THE MIDNIGHTERS! It’s free for QU students and $5 bucks for everyone else. There will be free food, a guitar give away, and free FROYO! Doors are at 5:30; we’ll see you there! That’s a lot of exclamation marks.
