WNUR AIRPLAY

About me:

The Airplay Show is WNUR's live performances program... More than 1000 artists have named Airplay the only place to play when caressing the fine curves of radio. Airplay airs 4-7pm, every Saturday on 89.3 WNUR-FM in Chicago and around the world at www.wnur.org.

We've had the best of the best, worst of the worst, best of the worst, and the worst of the best perform on our own (un)hallowed ground, from local balloon head Billy Corgan, to late great John Fahey, to Can-master Damo Suzuki. We forgot to pay Shellac once for a concert they graced us with, so they crashed their van into the side of our building! Calvin Johnson has climbed our walls, Japanther won't stop dropping f-bombs, and that's just the beginning.

Got a band? Know a band we should get to play? Got the low-down on the new thing? Hit us up.
