How do I get myself/my band on the Local Lounge?
We're always on the lookout for unsigned artists who perform regularly in the Spokane area and have already established a fan base, so you should be active in the local scene and ready to bring your A-game!  We're open to just about any genre, as long as your songs are originals...with vocals, preferably, but some instrumental styles might work.  And please sing melodically: no screaming, growling, or whining!  Hopefully you have some good quality, air-worthy recordings to bring, as well.  We reserve the right to choose the bands and musicians that will appear on the Local Lounge and what date they will be featured.  That being said, once you're on, you get the royal treatment: a one-of-a-kind promotional presentation with excellent sound quality and tons of cool stuff on the web...did I mention it's all FREE?  If you have what it takes and you want it, contact Matt Loi, the producer of the show (talent scout, artist contact, public relations, interview facilitator, audio engineer, voice-over guy, photographer, videographer, and web editor) since mid-2007.


About the show:
The Local Lounge is a local artist feature on 103.1 KCDA FM in the Spokane/Post Falls/Coeur d'Alene area every Sunday at 10pm.  We feature local, unsigned musicians who are making waves in the surrounding music scene.  Far from just bringing in a musician for an interview and a couple CD tracks, we have every artist perform several original songs live in our studio, including full bands...amps, drums, and everything!  The musicians get to take over our station for 30 minutes, playing live songs, spinning CD cuts and talking it up, all while hosting the show themselves, in keeping with the "jockless" delivery of 103.1 KCDA.  We also make a video of one live song and take photos of each artist, allowing you check out the visual aspect on our website.  Even though 103.1 KCDA has a Hot A/C format, the Local Lounge is open to indie, pop, rock, folk, soul, blues, funk, pop punk, pop jazz, reggae, and anything else that sounds good to our ears.  Be prepared for tons of local skill and talent, a diverse array of musical styles, very high production values, and good times all around!
