What about the upcoming gig at the Fine Line this Saturday? It's a CD release, but the band that I really like is White Light Riot. They are local and are working on a new CD. There EP and their 2007 CD's are fine efforts. Hopefully, you'd give them some air time on the Current are bring them into the studio for a live performance.
