WFMU is returning once again for a show in Austin, Texas, broadcasting live from Beerland (711.5 Red River) on Saturday, March 17th starting at 9pm ET! Six bands in a big ol' Tex-mess of a great bill, some of which we must keep under wraps (for now), but a guaranteed good time. We can tell you that we'll be broadcasting a reunion gig of Ohio's legendary Death of Samantha (featuring Guided By Voices/Cobra Verde vets Doug Gillard and John Petkovic) plus a super-rare show from woodsy New England psychedelicists The Supreme Dicks (whose entire discog was out in a Jagjaguwar label box set this year). Stay tuned to WFMU and our Facebook event page for more!
