KWUR’s very own Julie and Max, under the moniker of Chariots, played in the studio last Saturday. This is their first recording as a band, and I think they were dead on when they cited Dodos as an influence. Enjoy!

STACK SESSIONS: CHARIOTS
Friday, September 18th, 2009STACK SESSIONS: EXERCISE
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Local experimentalists Exercise recently stopped by the station to drop off some tracks from their new album, “Grandma’s House.” They actually played five songs, but everything was sequenced together so beautifully that we decided to keep them intact as two separate tracks (with the interview in between). Check out pictures from the in-studio and the intricately spaced-out tunes below.
STACK SESSIONS: CAPYBARA
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009Kansas City’s Capybara opened for Casiotone For The Painfully Alone at Off Broadway a few weekends ago, but before they took the stage, they played a few tunes in KWUR’s studio. Rock n roll music and an entertaining conversation followed, both of which we present to you here. Bonus points if you can guess which movie the samples in the song came from.
