Springin’ into Action
As the winter weather looks to give way soon, there are a lot of intriguing shows coming up in and around Atlanta including the first festival roundup. Before we get to What’s Up with What’s Going Down, though, just a quick notification or reminder that you can stream all WREK archives from the past two weeks by clicking on the schedule. Here at The Electric Boogaloo, we’ve also begun archiving beyond those two weeks for posterity’s sake. Find them all up in the clouds at our Mixcloud page.
