Battle of the Bands 2013! Make a band, write some original music, and play! It’s that simple. Compete against other Quinnipiac bands for the grand prize: the opening spot at WQAQ’s Festapalooza in April. Each band has a 10 minute set to prove to the panel of judges that they’re the best band at Quinnipiac. Only one member of the band needs to be a QU student. 3rd place wins $100, 2nd place wins $200, and 1st place wins $300, as well as the chance to open at WQAQ’s Festapalooza in April. Come to the WQAQ Radio Station (2nd Floor Student Center) to find out more and register!

We’ll be back

We’re coming back! Both in the sense that we’ll start actually using this blog again and in the sense that we’ll soon be blessing the airwaves with our glorious voices, terrible banter, and picks of music. 

The exact time and date of our return? We have no idea. We haven’t even thought about it. But you should start preparing for it. Right meow. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Ready yet? Have your headphones in your ear? The listener app open and the internet stream streaming? Your favorite drink in hand? Excellent. Now just wait, exactly like that, for our return. Don’t move from that spot. 

Here’s a song to help stave off that anticipation that is currently killing you.

—A View From the Afternoon, Arctic Monkeys.

Song doesn’t start until about 40 seconds in, for no apparent reason. Also for no apparent reason, embedding doesn’t work.
