This October marks the 30th anniversary of 91.3 WBNY's existence as an FM station. The station, also known as "Buffalo's Original Alternative," has been almost completely student-run since it officially swapped over from AM to FM in October of 1982. The highly influential college radio station, which is well-known for its support of Buffalo's local music scene, is perhaps best known for its "Local Show" hosted every Thursday from 7pm - 10pm by buffaBLOG's very own Michael Moretti. 

Buffalo State will be hosting a number of events in celebration of WBNY's 30th anniversary, culminating in the "91.3 FM WBNY 30th Anniversary Concert" this Friday, October 5th, at 7:00pm. In the spirit of celebrating local music, the show will feature four Buffalo-based bands - Dotsun Moon, Whiskey Reverb, Intent to Sell, and Dr. OOO. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for the general public - you can pick them up at the Rockwell Hall Box Office.

Buffalo State College announced today that rapper Mac Miller will headline the school’s Spring Fest, along with support BMX hip-hoppers The Cool Kids on Friday, May 4th. The Cool Kids have been internet darling for close to five years after delivering strong performances at the CMJ Music Festival in New York and the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. Their unique version skate-hop has heavily been featured in skate videos, video games, and just about anything cool people like. Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks arguably paved the way for modern alt-hip hop groups (OFWGKTA) to reach the mainstream listeners. Tickets are a ridiculously low $5 for Buffalo State students (with ID), and $30 to all ya’ll with jobs. I I MIKEY I I I ROCK....
