Stuff We're Thinking About

The three lobed and smashed plastic hopscotch day show is on September 6 from noon to 5 at kings in raleigh. Come check out live sets from pipe, full size, silver scrolls, object hours, and powers/rolin duo. The show will be broadcast live on WXDU and is for all ages and free.

 

Broadcasting fun & noise from the Pinhook LIVE on WXDU, 7/6 starting at 7pm!

Fans of the electric guitar take heed: there is a new brood of spazzy & emotive, noise-damaged punk rock awash in north carolina. On Saturday July 6th beginning at 7pm, some of these young practitioners will take the stage of the Pinhook for an early show in Durham: teachmehowtodance, tractor beam, emily grimm, and sesame. Get acquaninted! We will be broadcasting the show live from the Pinhook on WXDU 88.7, so tune in if you can't make it out!

 

Listen to Music in the Gardens LIVE on WXDU!

This summer Duke Arts will be joining forces with Country Soul Songbook, a Durham based organization uplifting marginalized voices in country music, to present energetic shows with artists from all over the country. On 6/26, the concert will feature a special collaboration between Adia Victoria and Shirlette Ammons as they use poetry and blues to explore the Black Southern Renaissance. The concert starts at 7pm in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens AND will be broadcast live on WXDU 88.7 and wxdu.org (use the player over there on the right). Entry is free and families are welcome! For more information regarding the artist lineup, directions or parking, go to https://arts.duke.edu/music-in-the-gardens/.

 

Listen Online

Listen on Your Phone!

No, we don't have a custom WXDU iPhone app. We've found something BETTER: an app that will let you listen to any streaming radio station: TuneIn Radio, powered by TuneIn.com. It allows you to record, pause & rewind streams, view cover art & artist info. And it's available for iPhoneAndroid, Palm and Blackberry!
