⏰🔔 GIVEAWAY ALERT!! 🔔⏰

There is no other band quite like Stinking Lizaveta. The doom metal trio – drums, guitar, and upright bass – have been together for more than three decades and in that time put out nine albums, toured the world, and very much have become part of the fabric of the Philadelphia scene.

They are also good friends of WKDU and we have been playing them on the radio since their very first 7” came out back in 1994.

On Friday the 21st they will be tearing up Johnny Brenda’s on an all-Philly bill with Deathbird Earth and Channls. It is also the latter’s record release, which is very exciting.

Want a pair of tickets to this show? Tag a friend in the comments below. Enter as many times as you want. We will close this Wednesday the 19th and let the winner know the next day. Good luck!

☠️🎫 GIVEAWAY ALERT 🎫☠️
…….DEVIL CHILDREN UNITE❗️

The friendship between WKDU and Ink & Dagger goes way back to when the band first started. Actually, no, it goes back even before that, to the days of Frail, Crud Is A Cult, and The Mandela Strikeforce terrorizing Philly basements throughout the early 90s. There was nowhere else on the radio to hear any of these bands! Still isn’t. We played the hell out of all of them and when Ink & Dagger formed out of their embers and started putting out music you better believe those first couple 7”s never left our turntables.

In 1998 the band played an absolutely legendary live session on KDU that perfectly captures them at the height of their vampiric powers. You can listen to that set on our Bandcamp. It’s beyond amazing. Equally cool is the fact that there’s also video of the whole thing, including the band setting up, hanging out, and just bullsh*tting. RIP Sean McCabe, one of the best to ever do it.

Considering that history, KDU is honored to get to give away TWO pairs of tickets to this weekend’s Ink & Dagger shows. Saturday’s 11/1 gig with Soul Glo at the Church and Sunday’s 11/2 with Honey at Warehouse on Watts. Thanks R5 for hooking it up!

TAG A FRIEND BELOW TO ENTER and remember YOU CAN ONLY ENTER ONCE. We’ll close this FRIDAY NIGHT at 8pm and let the winners know ASAP. If you have a preference as far as Saturday or Sunday please mention that but we make no promises.
