Vintage-keyboard-driven Balkan-inspired instrumental power trio Choban Elektrik hits the Studio B radio stage playing tunes from its new self-titled debut cd and lots more.
The combo, whose name means "the Electric Shepherds", hopes the positive vibes of our magical studio will grant them the good luck they'll need for their next club gig - Friday the 13th at Freddy's in Brooklyn's South Slope.

Hi Rob/listeners. Does anyone know anything about the Les Escales festival in St. Nazaire, France, on August 3rd and 4th? I am going to be in the area then and was wondering if it would be worth checking out? I know The Ex/Getachew Merkuria played there a few years ago, but I don't really recognize most of the artists in this year's lineup. http://www.les-escales.com/ | |

Your DJ:
Tony, there's definitely good stuff, certainly Poly-Rythmo is a favorite (they will be in NY / North America this summer too) but others too. Email me (robw AT wfmu DOT org) and I can give you an appraisal of the lineup. But if I was there, I would go - ! |

Your DJ:
Thanks Mark. Yes, very interesting group (but haven't toured or gotten much play in North America as far as I know. They're part of the Indies label posse from Czech Republic which is quite varied - rock, world, folk, other stuff too. Their page over there is indies.eu... |

Thanks a lot Rob. Yeah, Poly-Rythmo were the group that sounded the most interesting to me. Glad to hear you approve! | |
