Members of the rock band Bodyface are worried that rock radio is dying in New York City, in the wake of the reformatting of WRXP-FM this summer, and they plan to do something about it.
This Friday, Sept. 30, the band and other sponsors will host a free concert called Bring Rock Back, featuring bands from all five boroughs playing in the amphitheater in East River Park, just south of Grand Street. Here’s the lineup:
- 2:00 PM The Blackfires
- 2:45 PM The Karen Curious Band
- 3:30 PM Full Molder
- 4:15 PM Vinyette
- 5:00 PM Patchwerk
- 5:45 PM Cinema Cinema
- 6:30 PM Bodyface
- 7:15 PM Jolly
