The 2007 release from Project Jenny, Project Jan, xoxoxoxoxo, was one of the more well received albums we spun last year. It became a regular listener request and ended up at the #84 album on our 97 Best Of 2007 list. Check out this great video of the duo performing “Train Track” live at EAR Studios in Austin last month during SXSW.

Last fall, the band came through Cincinnati while touring their second EP, “An Ocean In The Air”, and we hosted them in our Cincinnati Lounge. This time around, we had the pleasure of meeting up with the band at EAR Studios in Austin during our SXSW sessions.
Even though they were the first session of the day and had to arrive at 8am to setup, they were excited to share a batch of new material with us. Their Lounge Act revealed 5 brand new songs that they’ve been working on and just from hearing those songs in a live setting, it is clear that their debut album will be worth waiting for.
Folks out in San Francisco have a chance to see the band play some of these tunes out live on April 22nd, when they hit The Independent for a show with The Teenagers!

Morgan’s new cd “Elevate” is a compilation of remixes he’s done for other artists combined with some of his own original tunes. It’s available now from Nettwerk Records.
The new album from Frightened Rabbit hits stores here in the US next week, The Midnight Organ Fight. But this is your chance to hear a new song early, as the band played “Head Rolls Off” for us down in Austin during SXSW last month. The good folks at PROJECTMILL and Soft City Lights again captured the event on video, view it below…..
Glenn Kotche is probably best known for his percussion skills in the band Wilco, but Glenn is a veteran of several other bands as well. Among those are Loose Fur, On Fillmore, and 3 solo percussion albums of his own. His solo work is what brought him to town for the 3rd annual MusicNOW festival here in Cincinnati. Glenn joined us in the WOXY.com Lounge for a special Guest DJ set where he spins some artists that he loves and has inspired his own work, as well as some of his own music.
Joe and Glenn chat about MusicNOW, Glenn’s seemingly crazy schedule, his commissioned piece for the Kronos Quartet, and a few other items in the interview as well.
Our good friends in Brooklyn band Pela suffered a setback last month while on the road when lead singer Billy McCarthy fell off the stage at Schuba’s in Chicago. He fell onto a broken pint glass and sliced the tendons in one of his hands. He is doing better now and has begun the process of physical therapy, but like many touring musicians, Billy is without proper health insurance.
All of the dates on the ‘There’s No Off Switch On This Thing’ tour have been rescheduled and the band will hit the road again on May 19th at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington D.C. In the meantime, Billy has gotten assistance from MusiCares to help with some of his medical bills, but they’re already adding up to thousands of dollars. If you are a fan of Pela and are interested in helping out, the band have setup a PayPal account for donations.
You can log on to Pela Music for more information, the PayPal link, and a gnarly photo of Billy’s stitched up hand.
