Back in October, the KWUR Kickball All-stars played the KSLUzers in the annual kickball showdown. While our athletic skills may not have led us to victory, we surely had the most fun and a valiant effort was made by all!

There's a stream and more deetz up at Impose Magazine, and while you're at it, check out the Acid Kat Zine blog and see what people are doing to keep garage rock alive in the local community!
Last week, Water Liars stopped by and recorded an AWESOME set in our station. Due to technical difficulties (what's new) the session couldn't be broadcast live, but look forward to the session being replayed on-air soon! In the meantime, check out some trax on their website, http://misrarecords.com/artists/water-liars/ and check back for updates on when you can hear the session!
