Melody Reunion, Just About a Week to Go

It's hard to believe it's only about a week to go before the Melody Reunion 2009. The DJ's are ready, the music is ready and best of all Pinfield is ready. I think it's going to be a great time once again. I hope my old ass (and knees and back) can dance all night long.

As a final reminder, the event is Saturday February 21st at the Elk's Club in downtown New Brunswick. Doors open at 7 pm and we go until 1 am. The event is free to attend, and proceeds from the bar go to the Elk's charities. At eleven we take a five minute break from the music for a traditional Elk's celebration, then rock our way to 1 am.

As this is the Pinfield Era/Old School Melody reunion, the age restriction at the door is 36 and up. If you spouse is younger, they get in, that's fine. But please do not bring underage folks with you, as they will not get in. We are expecting a big crowd, and have to keep things under control. Big John will be running the door and he knows who is who.

I look forward to seeing you all there on Saturday.

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)

Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.

Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.

We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.

This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.

Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
