WRRV Supports Local Bands in a Big Way

The weekly Local Lockdown show on alt-rock station WRRV helps Hudson Valley bands and the local community find one other.

Turning on the radio doesn’t often yield much inspiration. Although there’s certainly some great stuff being played on the air (music doesn’t get popular for nothing), most of the time you’re hearing the same 100 artists and the predecessors who inspired them. Once a week on 92.7 / 96.9 WRRV, however, you can tune in to something completely different and not always readily available – music by local artists. Click here for full article… »

Hudson Valley Bands Set to Play Bamboozle

The Break Contest battle of the bands provided five local bands with an opportunity to play one of 2010’s largest music festivals – and one local band with the chance to make it big.

The Bamboozle is a two day rain-or-shine music festival held in New Jersey. Established in 2003, the festival provides an all-day musical extravaganza for audience members, who sometimes stay for both days to check out the vendors and see their favorite bands. The 2010 Bamboozle features such names as Paramore and Weezer, and includes a mile-long lineup of other national acts that will join them for the two days of festivities.

One Hudson Valley band, however, will be joining some of their rock heroes on the Bamboozle’s stages this year. Take One Car, a post-hardcore/experimental rock band that hails from Millerton, NY, won the festival’s local 2010 battle of the bands and will be one of the few local bands from the Northeast to play the event.
