FM 94/9 Announces Free Show with Milky Chancy & X-Ambassadors @ Quartyard 8/3

FM 94/9 ANNOUNCES FREE DOWNTOWN CONCERT

MILKY CHANCE AND X-AMBASSADORS SET FOR AUGUST 3^RD PERFORMANCE

San Diego, CA: San Diego’s #1 Alternative Station, FM 94/9 (KBZT FM) has announced information on the latest installment of the Loud@ free concert series, featuring Milky Chance and X-Ambassadors.

The two bands will perform a free, all ages show at downtown San Diego’s Quartyard on Monday, August 3^rd at noon, sponsored by Shock Top.

“One thing our listeners know about FM 94/9, is that we’re about the music, and our Loud@ series is one more way we prove it,” said Music Director, Assistant Program Director and afternoon host Jeremy Pritchard, “The fact we can bring these shows to our listeners, not for $10 or $5, but for free, is really important to us.”

The series has recently featured bands like Passion Pit, Grouplove, Spoon, Alt-J, Foster the People, Twenty One Pilots and Arctic Monkeys at various venues around San Diego.

“We know it’s expensive to see all your favorite bands every time they come to town,” said midday host Hilary Chambers “The fact we can do our part to help out and bring them great shows like Milky Chance and X-Ambassadors for free is amazing.”

More information about the Loud@ series, including videos and pictures of previous concerts can be found on the station’s website at www.fm949sd.com.

About FM 94/9: Owned and operated by Lincoln Financial Media San Diego, KBZT is San Diego’s highest rated Alternative Rock station and was named San Diego City Beat magazine’s Best Local Station in 2014.

Things To Do In San Diego: March 4-6, 2015

This week feels like it has been crazy, but maybe that's because besides my regular work and my regular life and all the shows, I'm trying harder to keep on top of my email because even though I'm not going to SXSW, I'm still getting 200 press releases a day about it. It's easy to say I should just delete, but even that takes time, and eventually these artists come back around, you know? I'm also trying to get through all the submissions for The Festival of Arts in North Park, and while it sounds like a fun project, it's my least favorite part of the festival, because all those awesome bands get to be told there's only room for a dozen. Tonight Darren and I are tag teaming the Irenic. I'm working the door and he'll be slinging merch, and then we're heading to the Casbah, WHICH I CAN'T BELIEVE IS NOT SOLD OUT! Are you kidding me? SWERVEDRIVER?! Adam Franklin is a gem of a human, too, so I'm excited about catching them. This weekend is going to be nuts with the return of TNT on Thursday, Reader on Tap on Friday, the opening of Quartyard on Saturday, plus a ton of other fun stuff. Listings are below and I appreciate all the people who reached out to give me updates. I promise I'll add some more music venues to that page when I can, namely The Balboa, Quartyard, Seven Grand and Kava Lounge. It just takes time and tiny 175x60 logos which nobody seems to want to send me. Wednesday through Friday archives are after the jump.
