WOXY.com + MPMF 2008

We're pleased to be sponsors of the 2008 MidPoint Music Festival happening September 25-27th here in Cincinnati. Nearly 100 bands will be performing at venues across Downtown, Over The Rhine, and Northern Kentucky including Robert Pollard's Boston Spaceships, Mates Of State, The Sadies, Oh My God, and Pomegranates.

Look for WOXY.com to invade the Fifth Third Bank Theater over at the Aronoff Center with three nights of great music. We worked with the festival to help curate the lineup for this stage which will feature:

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th: ($10 admission, 8pm doors)
11pm WHY?
10pm DANIEL MARTIN MOORE
9pm THE CHOCOLATE HORSE

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26th: ($10 admission, 7pm doors)
11pm JUKEBOX THE GHOST
10pm SAY HI
9pm THE PURRS
8pm ROSEHIPS

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27th: ($10 admission, 8pm doors)
11pm HEADLIGHTS
10pm WUSSY
9pm THE MOCKS

Capacity for these shows WILL be limited, so your best bet for getting in is to get there early. Space will be reserved for 3-Day Wristband holders, with the rest of the capacity going to walk-up ticket sales each night. The WOXY.com stage will be ALL AGES all three nights!

33 1/3 Authors Visit Shiv - 9/19 @ 2:30pm

Join Shiv today around 2:30pm eastern when he welcomes Jeffrey Roesgen and Bob Gendron into the studio to chat about their contributions to Continuum's terrific 33 1/3 book series.

Shiv is a huge fan of these books and buys a new one just about every time he's over at Shake It Records.

Cincinnati's own Jeffrey Roesgen has chosen The Pogues' Rum, Sodomy and the Lash for his entry into the series.

Chicago-based Bob Gendron has written about a Cincinnati classic: the Afghan Whigs' Gentlemen.

Both authors will chat a bit about why they chose these albums to write about and we'll play some songs from each.

Locally, Jeffrey and Bob will host a book release party and reading over at Shake It Records on Saturday, September 20th at 5pm.
