We’ve been posting video from our first annual Student Showcase held in late March, and so far we’ve seen performances by Stout Cortez and Bike Club. Check out the performance by The Darling Snaps (featuring two of your three loyal Music Directors here at WGTB; shameless self-promotion) below.
Ergo’s new album multitude, solitude comes with a nifty insert that features an early review/glowing praise lauding Ergo’s brilliance. Barry Vacker, professor of media, cultural and utopian theory at Temple University, opens the adulation with just three words: “Ergo is cool.”
Not so fast, Ergo.
When the formidable DJ duo The Hood Internet graced our campus on Friday, WGTB got a chance to do an exclusive on-air interview on Saxappeal, hosted by Mike Hayes and Thayer Frechette.

The Hood Internet on WGTB by wgtbmusic
Here at WGTB we get a lot of music in our office. A lot. Some of it is great, outstanding even, but a lot of it passes through without a second listen. Sad as that may seem, it speaks to the importance of making a record that has something to offer instantly and sells itself.
While we like to feature up-and-coming artists in this feature regularly, nothing in the mail this week struck us as “the next big thing”– or perhaps we’re too busy still drooling over the new releases by Kate Nash, Avi Buffalo, and Happy Birthday, not to mention all the albums that have leaked in the past few weeks (Black Keys, LCD Soundsystem, Broken Social Scene, to name a few).

WGTB wrapped up its Spring Cleaning Concert Series with our second spring concert this past Friday night in Bulldog Alley. The Hood Internet, the awesome DJ duo with a penchant for indie bands and lots of R. Kelly, melted faces with their songs and opener Rafter equally impressed with their danceable experimental rock. Senior Justin Hunter Scott, aka Stout Cortez, opened up the whole show to the delight of the crowd.
Check out pictures below, and stay tuned for the posting of an interview with the Hood Internet hosted by Saxappeal.
