Outdoor Show- First Act Announcement!

Jan 27, 2015 | events, ktru, ODS

We are excited to announce Ex Hex for the 24th Outdoor Show! Mary Timony (who you also may know from Wild Flag) fronts this DC-based punk trio, whose music is both fun and ferocious. Their debut album, Rips, released in October of last year and we still can’t get it out of our heads. But don’t just take our word for it; Ex Hex landed themselves on a ton of best of 2014 lists, including…you know. Check out lead single Hot and Cold below, then go download Rips and get hyped for ODS 2015!

Battle of the Bands/Artists

Dec 1, 2011 | events, ktru, ODS

Every year, ktru puts on a “Battle of the Bands” event which invites bands and solo artists to perform live on the Rice campus.  The winner of this contest is announced and publicized via ktru and various media.  Additionally the winner also wins a spot in the annual ktru outdoor show!  The only qualification limitation placed on bands/artists is that the act must be Rice affiliated.  To be clear, that means that a performing member of the act must be a student, faculty member, staff member or alumnus.

KTRU is also working with RPC and the Pub to develop a concert series in the pub in the spring semester that feature Rice artists.  More information concerning the Battle of the Bands and the concert series will be forthcoming in the near future.
