WXYC PRESENTS:
BANDWIDTH: CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF INTERNET RADIO ON WXYC-CHAPEL HILL

A Compilation of North Carolina Artists

RELEASE DATE: Downloadable November 7, 2004 FREE from www.wxyc.org

WXYC-Chapel Hill, the student radio station of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was the first radio station in the world to simulcast its radio signal on the internet. On November 7th, 1994, WXYC's webstream went live 24 hours a day; and ten years later we're commemorating that event in grand fashion.

Foremost among the anniversary activities is the release of Bandwidth, a collection of exclusive tracks enthusiastically donated to WXYC by 23 of today's finest North Carolina recording artists. The main idea in creating this anniversary compilation was to use the internet to celebrate our internet simulcast, and thus the music, cover art, and liner notes are all downloadable for FREE from the WXYC website.

Like WXYC's free-form format, Bandwidth features a fluid range of music spanning a multitude of genres. From the throwback, high-energy rock of Black Taj (featuring two former members of Polvo) and Jett Rink to the subtle electro of $tinkworx and Jacuzzi Brothers; from indie pop (Audubon Park, The Sames) to avant-garde jazz (Micro-East Collective) and hip-hop (Spectac & Median); we're proud to sign our name to this CD. Bandwidth also features legendary Piedmont blues guitarist Etta Baker, as well as tracks from Merge recording artist Shark Quest, recent Yep Roc signees The Moaners (the new band of Trailer Bride's Melissa Swingle), and former Polvo and Helium member Ash Bowie's Libraness.

We are also honored to bring you a song from a live performance by Protean Spook, a recording moniker of Randy Ward (Metal Flake Mother). Randy passed away in 2004, and we dedicate Bandwidth to him. 23 North Carolina artists representing the diversity and vibrancy of the local music scene and WXYC.

Features music by current or former Merge, Touch and Go, Rounder, Bloodshot, Yep Roc, Tigerstyle and Bunker recording artists
