Favoriting October 9, 2013: GAP DREAM and COSMONAUTS live sets! (Studio of Tomorrow Campaign, week 2)

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

October is here, and as we've done the past couple of Octobers we here at WFMU are conducting a SILENT (shh!) fundraiser. I won't be talking about it during my show (well maybe one time, but only for a minute!), which means I'm depending on the written word to convince you to PLEASE PLEDGE!

You can find complete info about the Studio Of Tomorrow Campaign elsewhere on our website, but in brief we're asking for your help to build out a new 100-seat radio theater on the ground floor of WFMU's building in Jersey City. We need to get the space up to code and purchase basic equipment for the space so YOU THE LISTENER can join us for live sets by bands -- like the ones you'll hear tonight -- plus special live broadcasts, and other cool radio events.

This is the second of FIVE special shows this month to help get you excited about the Studio Of Tomorrow Campaign, to remind you of how awesome WFMU is, and hopefully to motivate you to pledge. Tonight I'm bringing you what I'm calling the Burger Records Sidecar Of Stars -- two of the bands currently out on the road as part of Burger's Caravan Of Stars. First up is The Cosmonauts, who proudly quote a critic's description of their sound as "the Beach Boys on downers;" their third album, Persona Non Grata (Burger), is out now. They'll be followed by Gap Dream, who bring their dreamy psych-garage sounds back to the WFMU studios ahead of the November release of their second album, Shine Your Light (Burger).

If you've already pledged, THANK YOU! Your support is greatly appreciated. If not,
P L E A S E   P L E D G E   N O W !
Don't make me turn on the <blink> tag.
Stay tuned for more exciting special shows all month, and please take a moment to Like The Evan "Funk" Davies Show on Facebook and follow me on Twitter! Thank you.!

EFD, I am always falling asleep before I can praise your sets these days (oy! My schedule!) - so let this stand in for months and months of EFD lullabies, as it were.

I'll sleep easy, listening to you!

(Please dig down deep in your pockets, folks! I'm no way rich, but however I am rich is due to WFMU and in particular, to EFD. I pay back what I can. To have a performance space at WFMU, that would be awesome! Make it happen!)

Good night all of you! Missing in particular, Danne, Holly, there are people I've forgotten but forgive me! Cherie (of the various spellings) how did I forget? LOVE YOU

Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in! I hope you dug the live sets from Gap Dream and the Cosmonauts as much as I did.
I just wanted to briefly remind you that our Studio Of Tomorrow silent fundraiser is now in progress. We're trying to raise the funds we need to finish building out a new 100-seat radio theater that will be open to the public so you can come down and see some live sets and other special broadcast events!
I really appreciate the pledges that have come in so far, but I'd love to see that progress bar jump up to 20% before the end of tonight's show. You can use this link to make a pledge now:

Thanks very much!
