feztival tix r us!


Well, you guys wanted a rock show... so we put one together! The Y100Rocks.com FEZtival 2005 is happening on May 15th at Festival Pier, Delaware and Spring Garden Streets in Philly. Garbage and Interpol have been killing it live, the Starting Line are dropping a new album that week, the Bravery are the current title holders of 'next big thing' status, and for the fifth band we figured we'd open it up to the listeners of Y100Rocks.com and try to find a great local band to play. This will be a great show musically, but also - culturally and socially.


Tix went on sale this past Saturday and are only $35 - not bad for an entire afternoon / evening of great live music, and perhaps more importantly, the chance for a community to get together. We really hope you can come to the show and can pick up tix - in many ways, the entire future of Y100Rocks.com is hinging on this show - as we have the chance to illustrate the power of this audience and community. In fact, every musician that complained when we went off the air, every music lover that cried out - we are calling on you to help... come to the FEZ, and if you can't, at least spread the word out there. If this show fails, we all fail. If it succeeds, it will lead to more - more shows, more Big Breaks for local bands, and more great music. Announcing a 'radio' show without a radio station (other than the online stream) and without the typical abundance of media to assist - is a challanging proposition... and one we are taking on. But we need your help - if you care and want us to keep going, it is essential that we have a good showing at the show... thx for reading and thx for listening - see you May 15th at the FEZtival!
