America’s Next Top College Radio DJ Auditions

Monday, January 24th, 2011

91.1WSPN Skidmore College Radio will be having their Spring Semester Big Meeting this Sunday at 8:30pm in Gannett. They will be discussing improvements to the station and a few changes in policy. Every student interested in grabbing themselves a piece of the broadcasting pie must attend and take an application. WSPN completely revises their programming schedule each semester and all students hoping to continue DJing must re-apply for shows even if they are “like super chill with the board members.” Make sure to get there early to watch the WSPN executive board worry about talking in public!

WSPN Presents: Pterodactyl and Big Troubles

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Myabe I’m biased because I work for WSPN or maybe I’m biased because both of these bands are gut-wrenchingly fun to listen to or maybe I’m biased because this poster is so cool but I’m pretty sure the best thing in the Capital Region is happening in Falstaff’s tonight.

Big Troubles opens for Pterodactyl, you will dance, you will sing along, you will drunkenly hug your suite mates and say stuff like “this is fucking awesome duuuuuuuddddeeeeeee” and everyone will have a good, sweaty time.

WSPN Presents: Pterodactyl and Big Troubles

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

WSPN brings you its second concert of the semester on Friday with sets from Pterodactyl and Big Troubles. It’s gonna be like The Land Before Time with more guitars and everyone is going to have a great time and if you miss it you are going to feel like a wet blanket that got left in the washing machine all week and now smells like must and mold.

Friday Nov. 19th @ Falstaff’s

Paleface, Skeletons in the Piano and Slim Charles

Friday, October 15th, 2010

palefacefinal

Tonight Lively Lucy’s and WSPN are proud to present Paleface, Skeletons in the Piano and Skidmore’s own Slim Charles fo’ free at Falstaff’s.

Paleface is a North Carolina based folk duo that has been touring with Avett Brothers. The release party for their new album is tomorrow night in Brooklyn but you can hear some of their new tracks on the Daytrotter Session they released this morning. When this next album goes platinum make sure to tell your friends you saw them literally hours before they blew up. Skeletons in the Piano, a Capital Region hardcore band that you’ve probably seen headlining shows downtown, will be playing a all acoustic set for us followed by some dittys from Skidmore darlings Slim Charles.

This is WSPN’s first show of the semester and probably the best thing you’ll do tonight before 3am.
Doors at 8 (fbook)

Skidmore’s radio station, which has been serving the greater capital district since your daddy was in diapers, will have its Big Meeting tonight at 8pm in Gannett. Any students interested in having a show this semester MUST attend regardless of past participation. The Executive Board will be introduced, expectations for the year will be explained, the application process will be demystified and applications will be distributed.

Snakes Say Hisss, Darlings, Die Hard @ Falstaff’s

Friday, November 6th, 2009

This picture features our handsome executive editor at last year's Snakes Say Hiss show

WSPN is hosting its second show of the semester tonight at Falstaff’s with 3 bands—Snakes Say Hisss, Darlings and Die Hard. All three groups boast at least one Skidmore alumnus and generally kick ass. Snakes and Darlings are founding members of the Skidmore/Wesleyan connected Famous Class records and Die Hard is fronted by a former WSPN general manager. Because freshmen do not have the privilege of memory (and I’m sure a fair number of upper classmen are a bit hazy as well) I want to assure everyone that Snakes put on a consistently amazing show that usually ends with you drenched in sweat, bruised in surprising places and groveling for an encore. If this treat of a show wasn’t enough to get you to drag your ass out of Scribner I assure you alcohol will be served at the show for those of you lucky enough to have reached your 21st birthday.

The doors open at 8, there is a three buck suggested donation that will go to supporting a local t-ball team supported by WSPN (adorable right?), and I promise you’ll have a good time. Seriously. I guarantee. (fbook)
