On the first Friday in April that promises to be both warm and sunny, we
will play sunny songs. Otherwise, the April editions of Pinkney Hall will
reflect the following themes:
*April 4 *– We will start of April by playing songs about girls.
*April 11* — No show on the 11th! Once again, Kenny Joe’s wanderlust will
be taking him far away from Pittsburgh and the WRCT studios.
*April 18 *– We won’t have a particular theme this Good Friday, but you
might hear a couple tunes appropriate for the occasion.
*April 25–* On April 25, we’ll play tunes by artists born in the month of
April.
In addition, most weeks we play some new music and music by artists who
will be appearing in Pittsburgh.

Music lovers who have attended summer music festivals in recent years may have seen signs and totems with the words “WTF is ZOOGMA?”
Evolving in the dirty south, ZOOGMA’s sound combines the sonic diversity and precision of a DJ with the excitement and immediacy of a four-piece rock group. ZOOGMA is able to blend genres in a musical experience that is refreshingly original yet steeped in dance music tradition, appealing to a range of audiences. Known for their energetic performances and retina pleasing light shows, the band consistently dishes out heavyweight beat-driven dance parties across the nation.
ZOOGMA will be in Pittsburgh for the first time on March 28, 2014, in support of their new album
Anthems 4 Androids! This, and all of ZOOGMA’s music can be downloaded for free from
zoogma.net.
Opening for ZOOGMA will be Pittsburgh’s Universal Beat Union. UBU is a progressive electronic/rock trio featuring WRCT’s DJ Firefly on synths, her husband ERX on electronic drums, and long-time Pittsburgh guitarist Paul Ferraro. With diverse tastes and backgrounds, this fiercely creative group serves up an intriguing blend of musical styles that suddenly seem to have more in common than anyone thought. A captivating symphony of three!
