CJLO is excited to bring you some audio treats (and tricks?) for Halloween; co-presenting Arbutus Records' Halloween Party with Blue Skies Turn Black! This all goes down on All Hallow's Eve itself, Saturday October 31st at 9pm (Doors at 8pm) at Theatre Fairmount (5240 Parc) and will feature TOPS, Puro Instinct, Mozart's Sister, and a Blue Hawaii DJ Set!

Eternal Husbands are Rick Reid/Matt Leddy, both formerly of power-poppers The City Streets. They launch their new record 'French Exit' (on Clamour Records) this Wednesday, October 28 at Bar Le Ritz PDB (179 Jean Talon O.) with Caro Diaro & Birds of Paradise (presented by Blue Skies Turn Black, a CJLO co-presentation).

CJLO successfully put the FUN in FUNdraising this Fall- with the generous support of our community, campus and fabulous sponsors! We are still processing donations, but are happy to report that we have surpassed our goal and have raised $8500 for the station AND counting (it's not too late to donate if you haven't already!)! We couldn't have done this without all of our hard working volunteers and wonderful collaborators- Thanks to everyone that helped us with what was a monumental undertaking for the little station that could!

Coming up on the next Fatal Attraction, (airing at a special time this week: Wed @ 4pm) Patricia has the pleasure of interviewing Strange Froots: a trio of singers-songwriters, musicians and beatmakers, comprised of Mags, SageS and Naïka Champaïgne.

The members of Strange Froots come from backgrounds of the same Black diaspora (including Haiti, Jamaica, Senegal and Ghana) as well as drastically different musical influences. Together they make music to encourage and to empower people everywhere, and to remind us that we’re not alone!

CJLO is a week in to our Annual FUNdrive, and we're already feeling the love from you, our listeners, friends and family, and the Montreal community at large. We're happy to report that we've reached 50% of our $6000 goal! A big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated and supported our station thus far. Words cannot express how excited we are to get your calls and texts while we're live on the air, and to see you at our FUNdrive events. Check out our photos on Instagram and follow us on Twitter @CJLO1690AM! We have much more in store for you as we hit the half-way point.

Coming up at 11am on Fatal Attraction, Patricia is interviewing Tshizimba: a talented MC, beat maker, music producer and rapper from The Congo! Tshizimba's Hip-Hop, Ambient and Chillwave influences unveil a unique world, characterized by Afrofuturism, space, the strength to fight back and pretty flowers!

Tshizimba's latest EP, Everything X Alright, is available on Bandcamp. Tshizimba just performed this past Friday at Hip Hop You Don't Stop! Tune in to hear more from this prolific MC on this special FUNdrive edition of Fatal Attraction, Sundays 11am!
