@CC - 'Evan "Funk" Davies is excited to welcome every ding-dong Bongo to the WFMU studios on Wednesday night, February 12. What will happen? Who can say, but you can expect some stories, memories, maybe an "unplugged" song or two, and some info on the band's upcoming show at Outpost In The Burbs in Montclair on Friday, March 20. (They're also playing at the Earl in Atlanta on Feb 21 with Pylon Reenactment Society.) Make sure you're listening to WFMU at 9pm on Wednesday night February 12!'
