Airplay is...

Airplay is more than a show, it's an institution. Join the Airplay gang every week as they open the flood gates and let the music pour in. Airplay specializes in live in-studio performances by the best and brightest. Search the performance database if you don't believe us. Three parts freaky and two parts fresh, Airplay licks it where most shows only lightly kiss.

Featured Performance

Ettrick Monday, April 30, 2007

Ettrick is made up of two drummer/saxophonists which makes for a very cool improv dynamic. It was exciting having these guys back in after their album "Infinite Horned Abomination" made WNUR's #4 of '06. Intense, abrasive sax-skronk. On the abrasive scale going from Kenny G to Kaoru Abe they rank a solid Brotzmann (it's a weighted scale...)

Boutros (Recorded Saturday, March 06, 2010)
Boutros is beat driven electro-pop, mixing synth sounds with heavy lyrical content and infectious melodies. Diverse comparisons range from Phoenix to Hall and Oates to Kraftwerk. At the time of this performance, Boutros just released a new full length called "Flat Tires Make Friends" (Baby Say Baby). Dickie Boutros - vox, keyboard, synth, guitar, sequencer, computers Nicky Boutros - vox, bass guitar, computers
Rob Nicholas (Recorded Saturday, March 06, 2010)
Singer-songwriter from Chicago plays some solo tracks and spills his guts in an interview with his publicist, Justin. Solid pop songs with interesting chord voicings that have lyrics with genuine character.
Vortis (Recorded Tuesday, March 02, 2010)
Joe Scott (From the Airplay Archives;
recorded Saturday, September 27, 2008)
Thick, undulating rhythms and ambiance performed by multi-instrumentalists Joe Scott and Brant Mccrea of Chicago. Nice set. Joe expressed his appreciation for WNUR and we express our appreciation for Joe.
