The Last Three Episodes Of BROS 4 LIFE Ever

Hey sup,

The past semester at WBAR has been pretty crazy. I’ve made new real-life friendships with internet personalities, got blown away by performances by my own best friendsbands, and also got a day-of text and consequently an amazing in-studio from a friend in college radio/songwriting.  After most of these shows, the guests of honor ended up eating and/or cooking with me and my best bro in college radio, (chef) Eli Wald.

Anyway, the next three weeks represent a transition in Nathan’s life, from amateur host of BROS 4 LIFE to an established and respected college radio icon and important figurehead in the New York City musical community.  I have joked for some time that I have already achieved this status, but now is when it will actually happen.

This Sunday, December 4th at 4PM, one day after [GOTH PROM 1986 featuring Balam Acab, Leather, Purling Hiss WHICH YOU SHOULD BE GOING TO]:

::: ROOMRUNNER, a new project from Baltimore featuring member(s) of Double Dagger (RIP), is playing an in-studio on Bros 4 Life.   Here’s their *fucking sick* EP just released on Fan Death Records: http://roomrunner.bandcamp.com/

The following Sunday, December 11th at 4PM, one of my favorite punk bands out of Brooklyn,

::: POP. 1280

will be playing an in-studio.  They put out The Grid on Sacred Bones last year, and just put out a new single called “Thirteen Steps”.  Listen to “Step into the Grid”, one of my favorite songs of all time, here:

And finally, on Sunday December 18th at 4PM, I’ll be having a year-in-review show, even though I should probably be studying for finals.  Some summary of that show should end up here as a year-end list.  All of these shows are streamable on WBAR.org.

And then there’s next semester.  My show, which absolutely will not be called BROS 4 LIFE, already has confirmations for in-studio performances by FORMA, The Men, and almost definitely the most special guest DJ set ever in WBAR’s history, from a legendary indie-dance band who will, for now, remain nameless.

Also, WBAR will be putting out a zine next semester, if you’re interested in writing for it you should email me at nalbert721 at the gmail.  WBAR is also putting out an in-studio compilation next May, which will include all of these performances, and more (including Dam-Funk).

So many exciting things!  None of them having to do with my homework!

Peace,

Nathan
