Listening Forward

Week 10? Surviving? Not good enough! At KWVA, we're about thriving, not just surviving. Here's what's going on this week that will spice up your life (...yes, that was a Spice Girls reference): Tonight, tonight! The ShondesHailey Wojcik, and Pancho + The Factory will be performing at The Boreal. Rolling Stone magazine describes The Shondes' music as "riot-grrrl furor, arena bombast and klezmer stomp". Wojcik is self-described as a queerfemme singer-songwriter, and Pancho + The Factory are an up-and-coming local band, spicing up Eugene with their swampy flavor. You'd be sorry to miss all 3! Show starts at 8 pm. https://www.facebook.com/events/1524138641179961/ Tuesday, March 10th, is the deadline for the Make-A-Band competition at WOW Hall. The competition works as a collaboration between local musicians, and winners will get a chance to perform live and earn over $15,000 in potential prizes! For more information, go to www.make-a-band.com. On Wednesday, Eugene favorites Pluto The Planet will be playing at Sam Bond's Garage. Alongside them will be Northern Youth, an indie-electronic-folk set, and Decker with desert music. Starts at 9 pm. On the blog, we'll check out the KWVA Top 30 tomorrow and see a cool little interview with DJ Petunia of The Boom Bat on Thursday. Stay tuned for other surprises!
