Oneida: Loudness and Longevity

NPR

Published August 19, 2006 at 1:56 PM EDT

The Brooklyn-based band Oneida has released its eighth album, Happy New Year. The CD is being called the band's most complete album yet, an "unhinged plunge into 60s psych-rock." The New York Times said Happy New Year is "a perfect introduction for latecomers to this essential New York band."

Oneida has a reputation for being a band's band, a favorite of peers such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Liars. Longtime band members Kid Millions, Fat Bobby and Baby Jane, along with new guitarist Double Rainbow and Shahin Motia of the Ex-Models, visit Studio 4A to talk about their music and perform songs from the album.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
