Monsoon. Deluge.

Exalted Listeners:

As you may heard and/or experienced, Iowa City got a genesis-style deluge. The IMU was flooded and is now closed indefinitely, which means no real-time KRUI or EIRC. We don't know when we will be able to get back on the air, if that happens at all this summer or next fall. You can check the KRUI website for more information: www.kruiradio.org.

Thanks for listening.

East India Rock Company - Summer 2008 - The shape of the show to come

Exalted listeners,



We hope you enjoyed our programming last semester. This semester the East India Rock Company is on the air Tuesday nights from 10 p.m. until Midnight CST. While we try to keep our programming free and clean from naughty bits, our late night slot gives us an opportunity to play obscenities. We are still trying to compile a South Asian metal show to showcase the baddest, beastliest thrashing from the deepest, darkest moshpits of South Asia. There are some other ideas crooning in our cauldron such as a South Asian rap/hip-hop show and hip, ostentatious T-shirts and ball-point pens that will come to fruition this summer.



Thanks for listening. Keep listening to us. Donations are welcome.

EIRC.
