School’s Out, WLOY Still Playing
May 16th, 2011 by WLOY Staff
The sun has come out, it’s finally a respectable May temperature (it’s about time, Baltimore), and there are no more papers and tests hanging over our heads. The Spring semester is finished, and the time has come for an excess of relaxation (much needed, for all!). To all the graduating seniors, it’s been real, and good luck with the job hunt (or, if you’re avoiding the real world for “more education,” have fun in grad school). I’ll speak on behalf of everyone at the station when I say that we will certainly miss you dearly.
Billy, Ryan, and Taylor – you’ve done so much for WLOY, and I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me. I’ll miss bickering with all of you.
Tim – don’t worry, WLOY is in good hands. You’re certainly the WLOY “rock,” but as Natalie Portman in Black Swan says, “It’s my time. I’m the Swan Queen!”
Enough sentimentality – the REAL point is that WLOY plays 24/7/365, and we’ll be here all summer with giveaways, new music, and more, so stay tuned!

Rush – Time Machine Tumbler – Baltimore 4/22/11
May 10th, 2011 by The Professor
Time Machine Tumbler
by Radio RockonTour host Timothy Tilghman
Rush turns back time to rearrange Moving Pictures
Longevity into four decades as a successful rock band is not an easy endeavor. Surviving as a rock musician in the music industry is actually recognized as an occupational hazard. It is therefore an amazing accomplishment for a Canadian power trio to compose and produce new material that continues to drive demand for the group to appear live in concert on tour.
Rush’s Time Machine Tour calculatingly celebrates the 30th anniversary of the release of Moving Pictures, a vital album that sky-rocketed the band’s touring fortunes. Returning to perform in Baltimore after an extended hiatus on Friday, April 22, 2011, Rush was at the top of their game fueling fan fealty at the 1st Mariner Arena.

Raveonettes Interview
April 27th, 2011 by WLOY Staff
Before Easter break I made a trip down to The Black Cat in D.C. for a date with my favorite band, The Raveonettes. As you can imagine, meeting your favorite band is a pretty exciting event, so containing my enthusiasm was quite difficult. They have been my favorite band for the last five years, so this was a big deal for me. For those who aren’t familiar with the group, The Raveonettes are natives of Denmark and have developed a unique indie rock sound with surf rock vibes. The core of the band consists of Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner. My plan was to meet with Sharin, the lead female member of the group, and chat with her before the show. Upon meeting her we walked to a nearby dressing room for better lighting and she offered to get Sune to join us! Long story short I was able to talk to both Sharin and Sune for about fifteen minutes. The conversation entails the current tour, their new album Raven in the Grave, and the progression of their sound. Check out the mp3 below to listen to listen to the entire interview!
This was my fourth time seeing the Raveonettes live and I must say that it was definitely the best yet. Each show offers a new experience with different backing musicians and light displays. In the past I have seen them as a three piece band with Sune and Sharin on guitar with a drummer and an accompanying bass track. Most recently the group consisted of Sune on guitar, Sharin on bass, and two male drummers who played a tom, snare and synthetic drum pad. I found the drum arrangement particularly interesting because the two drummers played identical sets and beats, which enhanced the visual and aural experience. The overall sound of their new album translated from contemplative to more electronic and dancy, while maintaining that ghostly Raveonettes’ reverb. One of my favorite songs of the night was “My Times Up” from the new album. It started off slow and sad, but then turned into what felt like an anthem of the final song of the night. Thank goodness it didn’t end there, but overall it was an excellent show. If you have never seen the Raveonettes, I obviously highly recommend them not only because they are my favorite band, but because their live show is truly a memorable spectacle. RAVE ON!
