We kick ass every Friday night to start off your week-long party with enough
Death Metal, Black Metal, Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Progressive Metal, Noise
and brutality give you a headache until Saturday morning. We play bands all over
the spectrum like Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Children of Bodom, Opeth,
Morbid Angel, Deicide, Suffocation and even a load of Slayer when we really
can't think of anything to do. We try to take care of the locals too, hopefully
you know who they are, and to mention show announcements to keep you
posted on what you want to see. Enough said.
A nationally acclaimed Big Band Jazz Show with your host, Fred Runde
III. This show even got WREK on the national news. The Kings of Swing,
the Barons of BeBop. This might be the best show on radio anywhere.
This show was hosted for many years by Fred's father, Fred Runde Jr, who
passed away on February 13th, 2004.
A major news network did a little three-minute piece on
WREK and Fred's show many years ago. We have it available here
for download in MOV
and AVI formats (12 Megs),
and also in MPEG format (8.6 Megs).
The Saturday Night Cocktail Lounge plays the best in sweet band,
schmaltz, and lollipop music from a bygone era. With artists like Guy
Lombardo and Lawrence Welk, reminisce back to the days of champagne and musical novelties of the Great Band Era.
The show focuses specifically on dance forms of electronica (Trance,
Drum'n'Bass, House, and Techno). All of these sub-genres contain a very
structured rhythm. The music almost always has a "four on the floor" beat
which is extremely danceable. Every show focuses on one of the genres. EDM
Sound System hosts live DJ sets each week. Between sets, performers are
interviewed.
