Davis Media Access

If you pair a jug band called “Aesthetic Cling” with a film called “Pirate Radio USA” and add in musicians from Davis bands (past and present) as diverse as the Barking Spiders, Thin White Rope and Acme Rocket Quartet, what do you get?

You get a very interesting evening at the Davis Film Festival, one that happens to benefit homegrown radio station KDRT 101.5 FM.

On April 4, the Davis Film Festival will screen "Pirate Radio USA" and other rabble-rousing films to benefit KDRT-LP!
Doors open at 6 p.m., with “true American music” by jug band Aesthetic Cling from 6:30-7:30. Band members play the jug, washboard, mandolin, guitar and banjo and promise favorites, “old and new.” Special guest is
Keith Cary of the Barking Spiders.

Members of KDRT’s all-volunteer Steering Committee will speak briefly about the ongoing battle to save KDRT’s frequency from encroachment by a commercial station. During the evening’s intermission Roger Kunkel (of
Thin White Rope fame) and Rusi Gustafson (formerly of Acme Rocket Quartet) will entertain the crowd with acoustic meanderings.

Location: Veterans Memorial Theatre
Cost: $10.00
