wcbn fm chart april 18, 2016

This past weekend I saw Jonas Reinhardt at UFO Factory in Detroit, with local openers David Shettler (Viands, Moon Pool & Dead Band) and Warren Defever (His Name is Alive), all doing cool spacey synth stuff. There's tons more amazing shows coming up at that venue this spring/summer, I'm stoked. I'm also getting excited for the WFMU Record Fair in less than 2 weeks.
