Radio stations get into the holiday spirit with two events this week. On Wednesday, Dec. 24, the annual Christmas Spectacular hosted by WNTQ-FM 93.1 (93Q)’s Ted Long and Amy Robbins will be simulcast live at Cicero’s Driver’s Village from 6 to 11 a.m. with a gaggle of local rockers including Joe Whiting, Donna Colton, Ashley Cox and Letizia and the Z Band. Admission is free, with $1.93 breakfasts available from Carnegie Catering. For more details, visit www.93q.com.
After you’ve exercised your need for classiness during the holidays, obliterate any memory of it during the WAQX-FM 95.7 (95X) Taint Party (it tain’t Christmas and it tain’t New Year’s, savvy?), a hard rockin’ show at Heroes & Legends at the New York State Fairgrounds on Saturday, Dec. 27, 8 p.m. The down-and-dirty musical festivities will include Under the Gun, 3 Inch Fury and The Reissues
in addition to a “Crappy Gift Exchange,” which offers the chance to
trade in that one-piece bunny jumper your grandmother hand-sewed for
you this year, with 95X “hotties” providing a present in return for
your irreverent gesture. Tickets are $10 in advance, and $12 at the
door. For more information, call 472-0700.
