ruKus - the comeback

Wow. Ok everyone. We're really sorry! We had one hell of a busy summer, and at the end of it all, the ruKuspace was mysteriously wiped off the face of the internet. It kinda brought down morale and spirits around the ruKus camp, but we haven't stopped planning and scheming. So now we're on, what's known to some, as the comeback trail. Let's talk more about it, shall we?

Ok. So here's the deal. The haps, if you will. We've been hard at work on ruKus radio v2.0! We've been working with Dave Laird, a friend, confidant, and master of webatory design to come up with a bitchin' new site design for ruKusradio.net. It's coming soon. So be sure to keep your eyes wide. We'll have more details on the launch coming soon. The hope is to house mission control for the big launch from the woods. Yes, the woods...

October 17, 18, 19 2008 - ruKus - the camp
We're venturing to the woods during the heart of autumn. It's quickly becoming tradition. Last year at roughly this same exact time, some huge decisions and realizations were made that conceived the ruKus radio fetus. We had already been podcasting, but on this historic weekend, the grassroots that sent ruKus radio blasting forth into the world of streaming internet radio sprouted. And we're celebrating this monumentous weekend by heading back to the womb.

We'll be ROADcasting all weekend from ruKus - the camp, in the heart of Western Pennsylvania. Late night jams, daylong radio shows with all kinds of killer independent music, and of course, a bitchin' menu lineup. Because it's camping, and that's what should be done. And you're all invited. Any interested parties should drop an email to r00t@ruKusradio.net (those are zeros in r00t). It's an extremely inexpensive adventure for your autumn entertainment, and we'd love to have you along. The more, the merrier, as they say. Rules are virtually non-existent at ruKus - the camp. Except for one. No women. Sorry ladies! :) So please, drop us a line and come kick it with us in the woods!

And there we have it. That's what we've been up to. Again, we deeply apologize for seemingly abandoning you all in the past month or so. But we'll definitely be making it up to you. With all kinds of new live shows and content to come on the brand new ruKusradio.net! We'll be speaking with you all again soon. Until then, may the ruKus be with you all.

The Warpisode DROPS!!!

That's right gang! We're bringing you all of our coverage of the 2008 Warped Tour on Thursday August 21st! The show will kick off at 8pm EST and is going to feature all kinds of sweet interviews and music from some of our favorite bands on this year's tour. Tune in as we hang out with Gil Mantera's Party Dream on the bus, talk to Dan and Derrick from Reel Big Fish about their newly found independence in the industry, indulge ourselves into the story of The Aggrolites, and warp your minds with a Drmanhattan and Family Force 5 dual interview! Seriously... complete insanity!




Then... very soon to follow (with a date to be announced) we'll be airing all of our interviews and the live set from the RX Bandits show in Cleveland! Stay tuned for more information on this release!

Thanks for bearing with us as we resurrect the ruKuspace. It's coming. But in the meantime, stay tuned to ruKusradio.net. And be informed right here at ruKus - the news dept. and the ruKus radio forums!

Thanks guys!

Grrrr... myspace.

So the ruKuspace has been wiped off the face of the Internet.

We're not sure why. Myspace's outstanding tech support system of FAQs and automated emails just can't seem to give us a direct answer as to where in the hell our account went. And the thought of actually going through the pains of creating a new one 5 days before VexFest and 12 before ruKus - the sequel are just outright gut-wrenching.

So here's the scoop on our upcoming events:

This Friday August 15, ruKus radio and Third Arm Promotions present: Guitar Bomb, The Kellys and The Sweet Ones














Sunday August 17 - Downtown Youngstown - VexFest 5!











Sunday August 24 - Warren Amphitheatre - ruKus - the sequel!
We'll be broadcasting the entire day!!


So, until we get the myspace kicking again, be sure to stay close to ruKus - the news dept. and the forums on ruKusradio.net! We'll be doing all of our updating through these two avenues. And if you have any design ideas for the ruKuspace, and wanna help, drop us a line at r00t@ruKusradio.net (those are zeros)! Thanks gang!
