Winter 2012 Schedule Now Available
January 16th, 2012 • Uncategorized • No comments
Just as the title says, the programming schedule for winter 2012 is now available. You can find it on the ‘Schedule’ page or right here. Find your show, and broadcast away!
Just remember that 12-2am is the morning of whatever day it’s listed on, not that night. Also, if you haven’t been apprenticed in the ways of the WRBC DJ yet, wait for an email from our programming director instructing you when to attend an apprenticing session.
ps. Don’t forget, Time Travelers this Friday in the Benjamin Mays Center. Don’t miss out!
Time Travelers! Time Travelers! Time Travelers!
January 11th, 2012 • Uncategorized • No comments
UPDATE: It is with the greatest sadness that WRBC has to inform everyone that Cults have cancelled and are instead playing Jimmy Fallon the night they were scheduled to play at Bates. But never fear! We will still have a show and it will still be awesome, only the Time Travelers get to play for even longer. We may also add a replacement band, so keep on checking right here (or on Facebook). Also, as of now, the concert no longer costs money.
We apologize for breaking so many hearts, we’ll make it up to you at the show.
…
As promised, WRBC continues to bring you the latest, greatest, and paidest in the music biz.
On Friday, January 20th, WRBC is happy to bring you Cults, straight out of NYC. They just released their debut, self-titled album, and are about to embark on a tour of Australia. What exactly does that mean? It means they’ll be sharp as ever for their show here, something anyone would be foolish to miss.
Cults will also be joined by two openers, Delicate Steve and Time Travelers. Delicate Steve appeared at Bates in the fall of 2010, opening for the always incredible Dr. Dog. The other opener is a band much beloved by Bates, the recently alumnified Time Travelers! They are returning from their adopted home in Brooklyn to come play their very first show at Bates since graduating.
Now that you’re all hot and bothered about the show, we’ll get to the gritty details (they aren’t very gritty). The concert is (again) on January 20th in the Benjamin Mays Center. Tickets will be on sale starting Monday, January 16th at lunch in New Commons, and sales will continue until Wednesday. The tickets will be $3 each, and only one ticket will be sold per ID. Do not despair though, if you give a friend your ID they can purchase additional tickets, although the one ticket per ID rule still applies. Door times will be announced in the near future, just keep checking here and also the Facebook event.
Let the good times roll!
Winter 2012 General Meeting
January 10th, 2012 • Events, Uncategorized • No comments
It’s a new year, and WRBC is coming back in fine form. We’ll be having our MANDATORY general meeting this Thursday (01/12) at 7:00 PM in Carnegie 204. That’s the big room on the second floor, straight up from the entrance. Are you sure you got all that? It’s all bold and everything. Besides, if you miss the general meeting your likelihood of getting a good time slot diminishes considerably.
At the meeting we’ll give a quick introduction for those new to WRBC and go over some of the fun things we’ll be doing this semester (Concerts! Trivia Night! Yeah!). Applications will also be available during the meeting for you to fill out while you pretend to listen to us. They are due either directly to our programming director Bradley Gee after the meeting or to a folder on WRBC’s door by Sunday at 5:00 PM (01/15). Remember, even if you had a show last semester you still need to submit a new application. Late applications are not guaranteed anything except a poor time slot.
The winter 2012 application will also be available on the website shortly. Just keep checking back right here. Voila! The application is now available. Please click on the link below, download the application and bring it to the aforementioned meeting.
Wind Down Wednesday with WRBC
September 20th, 2011 • Uncategorized • No comments
We all know the story behind Wednesday. It gets such a bad rep. So why don’t you add a little fun to your Wednesday? Come wine down (or beer down) with us in the Little Room in the basement of Chase Hall at 9 pm. We’ll be watching the 2005 documentary New York Doll, about the 70′s glam-punk band The New York Dolls and their reunion. It’ll be a wild time, see y’all there.
For more info on the film check out the IMDB.
