CLOUD NOTHINGS w/ special guest DEATH OF SAMANTHA TO HEADLINE WRUW'S 31ST ANNUAL STUDIO-A-RAMA SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH
Neal Dare Waves

Now in its 31^ST year, Studio-A-Rama is WRUW's annual FREE, outdoor, day-long rock concert.  This year's headliners are Cleveland's own Cloud Nothings. Hot off a hugely acclaimed album, "Attack on Memory", a performance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", and international touring and festival appearances, Cloud Nothings will headline this year's Studio-A-Rama. Led by Dylan Baldi (who performed at Studio-A-Rama in 2009 with Neon Tongues), and featuring members of local bands such as Swindlella, Mole People, and Spacer Ace, Cloud Nothings run the gamut from bright power-pop to abrasive, searing post-hardcore. Catch them in such an intimate local setting while you still can!

Since last year's "special guest" pre-headlining performance by Ohio's Scrawl was such a hit, we're featuring another historic Ohio band as this year's special guest - Cleveland's own Death of Samantha. A staple in the local circuit of the 1980s, Death of Samantha are back from a 22-year long hiatus. After a sellout Beachland Ballroom performance last December, and an appearance at this year's South By Southwest, Death of Samantha will be returning to Studio-A-Rama - it's been a long time coming.

Studio-A-Rama, WRUW's annual free, outdoor 10 hour rock show, is both a thank you to WRUW listeners and a testament to WRUW's commitment to live (and free) music.  The concert begins at 1:00PM in the Mather Memorial Courtyard (11220 Bellflower Rd., Cleveland OH, 44106), outside the studios of WRUW.  The full concert line-up is as follows:

1:00PM - The Lawton Brothers (rootsy guitar rock)

2:00PM - R. A. Washington and the Family Dollar (9-piece R&B outfit with rock influences)

3:00PM - Gossip Culture (electro synth suave rock)

4:00PM - Library Time (upbeat indie rock)

5:00PM - Pleasure Leftists (post-punk inspired leftist rock)

6:00PM - Village Bicycle (all female indie pop)

7:00PM - Dreadful Yawns (guitar rock)

8:00PM - Herzog Yawns (catchy power pop/rock)

9:00PM - Cleveland legends Death Of Samantha

10:30PM to Midnight - Headliners Cloud Nothings

The entire show shall be simulcast over 15,000 watts (Ohio's most powerful college radio station) on 91.1 FM, and also webcast around the world on www.wruw.org.
