Ruins

It's Friday. And not just any Friday - it's the Friday kicking off a well-needed 3-day weekend.

I just found out yesterday that Matt's band - The Ruin - got the green light to play for KWOD 106.5's Sounds of Sac showcase in a few weeks!! It's held in Folsom and features a few local bands... Bands that might potentially get radio play if Hawk, the guy in charge, so chooses. They have been trying to get this show for MONTHS. ...Great news, right??

Well it was until we pulled up KWOD.net's site last night to check out the Sounds of Sac page and instead found a lengthy eulogy featuring none other than the only radio station in the Sacramento Area worth listening to.

I am seriously looking into HD radio now. Everything else (that's free) seems to be a waste of time or is completely annoying.

So what about The Ruin's show? ...We don't know yet. Hawk is now with the station that has taken over (an all-90's format... because that is going to be so much more compelling than a station dedicated to alternative music). So there is a possibility... Maybe even a probability. Fingers are crossed.

If the show is a go, this will be The Ruin's biggest venue to date. Maybe not in size, but definitely in exposure! ...Either way, any live show where I get to watch my husband be a rockstar for a couple of hours is alright with me.
