Birdwaffle, a five member Santa Barbara based group, will be perfoming a live acoustic set on Ska Wars on Tuesday November 28th from 10 PM to Midnight. In addition to their live performance, the band members will also talk about their band and their experiences. Birdwaffle describes themselves as a band playing music inspired from a mix of influences, including ska, reggae, rock, and soul. They have been in many performances in Isla Vista, but they have also played at major venues in California and have shared the stage with ska notables such as Chris Murray.
KCSB 91.9 fm will hold its annual fund drive from November 6th–15th, filling the airwaves with its usual mix of independent music, public affairs, and sports programming, while letting listeners know how they can support the only non-commercial, community radio station based in Santa Barbara County. KCSB 91.9 FM is known as one of the best student-run stations in the country, and this year is especially significant as it marks KCSB’s 45th anniversary of programming.
KCSB’s accomplishments during this past year include presenting a live broadcast of President Clinton and Paul Orfalea’s recent sold-out event at the Arlington Theater, a lecture by “Democracy Now!” host Amy Goodman, the refurbishing of two more production studios at the station, and the revamping of our official website, in addition to our usual sponsorship of events in the Santa Barbara area, ranging from UCSB Arts and Lectures films to appearances by such artists as Lila Downs, the RZA, and The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower. Looking ahead, a 45th Anniversary Alumni Reunion is also in the works for the spring of 2007.
About the Fund Drive (Nov. 6-15th): For a minimum of $20 (students) or $45 (non-students), donors can claim gift certificates, books, CDs, videos, event tickets, KCSB t-shirts, and more as thank-you gifts for their support.

From Nov. 6th-15th, listeners will primarily be calling KCSB’s fund drive hotline, (805) 893-2424.
