WPRB Presents: Lucky Dragons, DJ Altitude Sickness, and Panglossia!

WPRB is sponsoring Lucky Dragons at Terrace Club in Princeton, NJ, on Thursday, December 10,with opening sets provided by WPRB’s own DJ Altitude Sickness and Panglossia!

Lucky Dragons are a hyper-creative and prolific duo out of Los Angeles, CA, whose work layers electric and acoustic sounds in a wildly experimental and super awesome way.  They’ve released over a dozen records in the past few years, have remixed everyone from Dirty Projectors to Thom Yorke, and have earned a reputation for absolutely unmissable live shows!

Opening for Lucky Dragons are two of WPRB’s fantastic DJs:  DJ Altitude Sickness (Tupperware Jams, http://www.wprb.com/djplaylists.php?id=252) and Panglossia (Al Gore Rhythm with DJ Doublethink, http://www.wprb.com/djplaylists.php?id=314).

DJ Altitude Sickness will be performing a brand-new ambient set showcasing some new software and monome tricks.  Trust us, if you haven’t caught an Altitude Sickness set live, DO IT NOW!

Panglossia will showcase tracks cobbled from live recordings and awesome electro sounds.  His newest album, Ghana, will hit the airwaves shortly!

Be sure to catch this WPRB-sponsored show on Thursday, December 10.  Please remember:  this event is 18 AND OVER ONLY!

Terrace Club is located at 62 Washington Road, Princeton, NJ

Jon Solomon’s 24-Hour Holiday Radio Returns To WPRB On 12/24!

Mark your calendars, set the clocks: Jon Solomon’s 22nd Annual 24-Hour Holiday Radio Show is almost here! The marathon begins on Wednesday, December 24 at 6:00 PM ET and ends Thursday, December 25 at 6:00 PM ET.

It’s not Christmas without Jon’s annual holiday marathon. Seriously! From the absurd and bizarre to the beautiful and almost-kinda-holy, Jon’s show traverses the terrain of holiday music. No two marathons are alike, and perhaps that’s why listeners both near and far flock to the radio and/or webstream. So says Inside Jersey:

Forget the Bing Crosby-Nat King Cole-Mariah Carey loop that seems to air on every station in every mall – Solomon mixes covers of traditional hits with songs by bands from the region, recordings lost to attics and basements, and esoteric picks like “Mr. Russian, Please Don’t Shoot Down Santa’s Sleigh,” a Cold War-era number.

Which is not to be confused with “Can Santa Miss Those Missiles,” Solomon says.

Jon wants you to know that if you would like to make some requests, by all means get in touch.
