Wednesday, April 4th, from 6pm - 7pm is Seven Second Delay Bat Night at NYC's UCB Theatre! This episode will feature comedian and Saturday Night Live alum Darrell Hammond, musical guest Amy Allison & WFMU Bat Night! The first 45 people through the UCB doors will receive a WFMU bat, and they will then pummel the 46th person in line. So arrive early! The UCB Theatre is at 307 West 26th St in NYC, near 8th Avenue. Admission is $5.

The 6-story snack chips tower did not fall on us, luckily and WFMU survived another bout with Austin, TX. We put on our first unofficial party at Beerland on March 17th and you can check out the archive for the full live action hosted by Liz Berg, Brian Turner, and Jason Sigal. Great performances all night from: Electric Jellyfish, The Wedding Present, Death of Samantha, The Supreme Dicks, Xray Eyeballs, and The Men! Snapshots of the evening included, full archive here. And check other past WFMU special live broadcasts archived here! UPDATE: Sets downloadable now via the Free Music Archive!

Coming to Underwater Theme Park with Meghan, Thursday, April 5th on the 6-9 AM web only: Johannesburg’s Spoek Mathambo makes the Afro-futurists look old school. With the arrival of his second album, Father Creeper, he’s one man building up an army to make his creative visions a reality, rewriting any artistic laws in his way. Is Africa the future? Maybe. Probably. Whatever the case, Africa is the now, and nobody is expressing that better than Spoek Mathambo.
