We get a lot of e-mail here at UVA Today headquarters seeking publicity for this or that — well, maybe not a lot, but some — and it rarely makes it verbatim into the News Blog. But today, we make an exception.
This from the very enthusiastic Nick Rubin, over at WTJU (with a couple of minor edits):
U.Va.’s eclectic community radio station WTJU — on the radio at 91.1 FM and streaming live on the Internet at wtju.net — welcomes students back with a free concert in the U.Va. amphitheater, featuring three bands from Charlottesville whose reputations far exceed the boundaries of the World-Class City.
Andrew Cedermark , U.Va. class of 2008, made his name with indie rock heroes Titus Andronicus, and is currently getting slobbered on by the likes of Pitchfork.com. Catch his perfect slacker shoegazer anthems locally while you still can!
Invisible Hand, led by C’ville native Adam Smith, have been called the best, best-looking and hardest-working band in town, infusing tight, catchy, art-rock hooks with furious energy. They will rock your face off, grow you a new face, and rock off your new face.
Caninos are a bona-fide U.Va. band! Fresh-faced gentlemen who seem like your unassuming classmates until they transform into irresistible pop-country-rock charmers. Show up to wish them well before their NYC gig opening for Pavement! No lie!!
Kick off your Labor Day weekend with free rock in the amphitheater, this Friday, Sept. 3, from 5-7:30 p.m.!!
No word yet whether Student Health will offer face transplants afterward.
