We Do Not Stop: Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative

ImageWe continue all summer long with great new, indie, and local music. Join Dr. J for hour one from 3-4pm when we will be featuring Luke Frazier, Mikal Cronin, Koala Fires, Junip, The Story Changes, and much more! Brand new music from Guided by Voices — yeah, we know that is not too surprising! — except that we also have new music from Iggy and the Stooges! Got your attention now?!

Mrs. Dr. J will bring her radio sophistication from 4-6pm and we will kick things up a notch or three! We have many new songs to bring your way and we are very excited. Now, we can’t go through them all here because that would be telling, right? And sometimes the best reveal is as it is happening!

Tomorrow we will unveil the choice for the on-air book review so you will have plenty of time to read the book so you can participate!

So tomorrow from 3 to 6pm, your Tuesday takes an alternative path with music, concert information, and a few surprising announcements! Tune in it will be fun. We promise.  And you can trust us because the show goes all summer long without a break!  Isn’t that nice? We promise to be there for you every Tuesday. Image

One Reason

Motel Beds - Tango Boys Cover 
The energetic 'Beds captured on the Tango Boys cover

  One reason that Dayton has a thriving music scene is illustrated in the fact that in one weekend we have the vinyl release of Tango Boys by The Motel Beds at The Canal Street Tavern this past Friday.  The ‘Beds played a blistering set with the Buffalo Killers and Chocolate Horse.  And in the same night you have Vanity Theft, Okay Lindon, and Good Sir Con Artist playing Blind Bob’s.  If that was not enough, you then have Bonneville releasing their new CD, Amy’s House with a show again at Canal Street on Saturday.  What we have here is an embarrassment of musical riches. Dayton has a vibrant music scene indeed! And we have not even begun to talk about The Rebel Set, Guided By Voices and Me & Mountains who are both working on new music for your listening pleasure in 2012!

Busy Friday for Dayton Music Fans!

Vanity Theft's DYT Ugly Sweater/Homecoming Show

This Friday we have shows by Okay Lindon, Good Sir Con Artist, and YTAA faves – Vanity Theft at Blind Bob’s!  Show starts at 9pm!  Then just a mile or two away at The Canal Street Tavern there is another great show from The Buffalo Killers, The Motel Beds, and Chocolate Horse!  That show also starts at 9pm!  What can Mrs. Dr. J and I tell you?  Clearly scientists need to discover cloning technology or maybe the simpler time travel device?

Bonneville CD Release Show

CD RELEASE SHOW - Dayton , OH
Bonneville CD Release show!

Columbus-Dayton music guys, Bonneville, are releasing their brand new CD, Amy’s House, this  Saturday with a big ol’ musicalpaloosa spectacular at The Canal Street Tavern!  We have been playing Go Getter for about a month on Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative — but there are several great tracks to enjoy off of this new CD!  We highly recommend that you get yourself a copy of this album.  The title track refers to the owner of the house where the record was recorded over four weekends.

You will enjoy the trademark tight harmonies of this young but polished local band!

They are touring right now — after this show they are playing in the Northeast — so check this blog for more information!  Of course, Bonneville also has a fine Facebook page that you might seek out for info!
