This summer, Hollow Earth Radio will present "On the Air" & "Around the Bend," two youth arts camps that teach middle school and high school students the art of Radio Plays and Circuit Bending.

Radio Play Camp (On the Air) will give participants the opportunity to learn about the history of radio drama, making sound effects, writing radio plays and acting out their own creations. Circuit bending Camp (Around the Bend) will explore this electronic art by giving youth opportunities to experiment with bending circuits on battery-powered toys to make their own musical instruments.

She has inspired and moved crowds from mountain villages and mass mobilizations in the Philippines to clubs and universities across the Unites States. Her songs are dedicated to third world womyn and their resistance against imperialism and class exploitation, focusing on stories of forced migration, violence against women, downbrownqueerwomanism and revolutionary change.

She is currently working on campaigns, “U.S. Troops Out of the Philippine” and representing Alay ng Kultura with B.A.Y.A.N. USA.

Friends - our fifth annual Magma Festival is coming to a close THIS WEEKEND. ARE YOU READY FOR THE ERUPTION?

Prepare yourself: This Friday kicks off an explosive weekend with the music of WHITE COWARD coming straight to your face. This explosive little band is gonna rip the place apart. Dogs and cats, living together. It will be anarchy.

Here's how Kenneth of Off Tempo describes White Coward:

"This show was packed. It was crazy how many people were there and how posi-mosh everyone was. It’s the most smiles I’ve seen in a mosh pit in a while. Troy (bassist / singer, also in Stickers) is singing whatever it is that he’s singing. I can’t understand much of it but I think a couple songs are about eating that 13 egg omelet at Beth’s Café on Aurora. I haven’t eaten that particular endtrée yet but when I can get my hands on whatever recorded material White Coward puts out in the future, I’ll look for the songs that are reviewing the experience of that meal.

I remember on the trip back home, the van I was busy with talking about how great White Coward was and how great the show was overall. How much shredding and kind shoving occurred."

Pair that with legendary Roger Nusic. I know very little about this guy, other than that he's a one man band playing violin/guitar over electronic beats singing about burning money (see his album titled: "Burn or Save?" with him in piles of dollar bills). Somewhere on the internet I read that his first show was opening for Nirvana at Satyricon.

It's sure to be a thriller - I mean, check out this video!???

Here's the first verse off one of my favorite of his songs: Alternative Punky Day

Also on the bill: FAN TAS TIC Seattle pop punk band THE WEBS who have A ONE SONG DEMO here: duh webs

We also recently did an instudio w/ the band which you can download and listen to as a podcast here

Also, completely unpredictable Gio Ricci has a new band Space Cadet 5. He's one of our dj's here at the station but no one has seen him in months. He is an international man of mystery.

This all goes down THIS FRIDAY at Hollow Earth Radio! Get there at like 8:30. We start prompt.

Wanted to give a status update on the $700 drumset that Trading Musician donated to our raffle! We have a winner! It's young Devin of the fabulous band "The Pink Pajamas". He was totally excited to get the prize (of course). And although he is the guitar player in the band, they've been having to borrow the neighbors kit to practice so now they'll have a brand new shiny one! So exciting!

BTW - if you missed the Teen Showcase, you really missed out. I've been helping curate the Magma Festival for the past five years, and it was probably up there as one of my favorite shows we've done. All the bands were super tight and the place was just crawling with young people dancing around like crazy and supporting each other. I guess I've become jaded thinking that no one will dance at shows anymore, but this weekend made me realize - "hey, no one dances at the shows you go to because you are old and everyone else there is old". I saw teenagers stage diving and whipping their hair. It was an absolute blast! Here are two videos from the show, the bands Yellow Peril and Rat Riot (Bellingham).

If you have any other video, let me know!

We wanted to thank Trading Musician again for making this happen and helping keep the festival alive! Also, here are all the sponsors for the entire Magma Festival, and here's a special thank you to them as well. We really appreciate it. If you frequent any of these places, let them know that's it rad they took the time to give to our freaky little radio station.
