Woxy.com, the much loved but seemingly often embattled internet radio station, is going to be moving to Austin! According to a blog posted up on their site this morning, the Cincinnati-based three man crew of Mike, Shiv, and Joe will be transplanting operations to the Live Music Capital of the World and by September 8 be broadcasting from their new headquarters at the Austin Theater on South Congress. Everything in the Web-world will pretty much continue as usual, but this will undoubtedly be good for local bands, as Woxy carries some serious rep and it can’t hurt to have those guys trolling our clubs for new music! Their official announcement after the jump:
WOXY Fans and Friends -
We’ve been busy upgrading this year… our new broadband broadcast streams, WOXY Radio iPhone app, and great new programs like the Pampelmoose New Music Hour, Future Sounds Radio, the 1-2-3-4 More More More show and The Waiting Room. And now it’s time to step up our WOXY Lounge Acts live in-studio sessions.
Every March for the past 3 years, we’ve headed south to Austin, Texas, for the SXSW Music Festival. We set up camp at EAR Studios in East Austin, rounded up some of the best up-and-coming bands we could find, and broadcast 20+ live WOXY Lounge Act sessions over the course of the week. With such great access to the artists that make these Lounge Act sessions so special, we thought why not broadcast from “The Live Music Capital of the World” full-time?
WOXY is headed south. Come September 8th, WOXY will be broadcasting full-time from Austin, Texas. Our new digs in Austin will allow us to take things to the next level and bring you even more live Lounge Act sessions. You’ll not only get to hear the sessions, but you’ll be able to see them as well. We’ll have our own sound stage that will allow us to shoot video of all of our Lounge Acts and bring them to you in HD video.
As hard as it is for us to leave Cincinnati, we’re all pretty excited about what is to come, and we hope you are too. See ya in Texas, y’all!
BAM! The Future of Rock N Roll, Y’all!
THE FUTURE OF ROCK AND ROLL
OK,
KEXP + KLRU never made me smile. For some reason, WOXY + ME makes me smile. I mean seriously, look at the the in studio recordings up for download. That’s right. Download. Not streaming:
