Have an event coming up you’re looking to spread the word about? 

Send an email to events@xray.fm to see how we can help!

When emailing please include: 

  1. Any relevant info about the event (dates/times, location, ticket links, info sheets etc.)
  2. What you're looking for from us, preferably in the subject or early in the email.* This could be things like being a media sponsor, paid underwriting packages, inviting us to attend, PSAs* AV services, getting an on-air interview, booking an XRAY DJ, having us be present there, etc.
  3. Who this event is for, so that we can place it appropriately on our schedule. If music, let us know the general genre/style. If non-music, what topics will someone that goes to this care about? 

Timeline: For those new to working with us, without an established event promotion relationship or agreement, we need to receive your submission at least three weeks prior to your event for inclusion on our events calendar or newsletter, and preferably six weeks if you are interested in a radio spot about your event (i.e. underwriting). We are unlikely to consider last minute requests. 

Please Note: We have a very limited capacity and unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests. The clearer your ask and the more obvious of a fit with our programming and/or mission, the more likely we'll prioritize it. We unfortunately cannot respond to every request, but welcome you nudging/following up with us to get it on our radar if it's a good fit and we haven't replied.

*Only nonprofits and/or things benefitting the wider community (such as something like demonstrations, disaster relief, mutual aid campaigns, etc.) are eligible for PSAs typically, with anything else being up to our discretion and typically done on media trade, paid campaigns, or as an act of good will because we feel strongly about something. All scripts need to be approved by us for our FCC compliance standards--even if a recorded file already exists.

World Famous Kenton Club
8:00pm Saturday, March 8, 2025

Dance to vintage vinyl (1950-1980) by women!
Soul - "classic" Rock - Pop - Blues - "oldies"  - Latin - International - Disco - Glam
Familiar Favorites & Rarities!

It's the DJ Action Slacks  annual Women's History Month dance party just in time to remind everyone that women actually DO matter AND this year it falls on International Women's Day!

We'll celebrate women who made it through the gauntlet, past the gatekeepers long enough to make their voices heard on vinyl.

Whether they released dozens of records or just one, these women created the musical document of our experiences, thoughts, & feelings during a time when women's civil rights were becoming a political issue.

 
Join me at the Kenton Club to dance to a variety of music made by women. Let's celebrate our endurance, perseverance, talents, creativity, humanity, and rebelliousness!
 
"Respected LadyLand" alludes to a place where I think so many women would love to exist. I know I would personally like to live in a land where I'm seen and believed, valued, treated with respect, compensated fairly without exploitation, free from intimidation or harassment, with autonomy over my own body and mind. Maybe if we envision such a place perhaps we'll feel compelled to mobilize to fight for it.
 
For this edition of Respected LadyLand we're going to try blocking the time:
8 pm - 10pm will be mostly 1950s & 1960s music
10pm to Midnight will be mostly 1960s & 1970s music
 
*Please be considerate to others and test for COVID prior to attending events, particularly because we don't know what the future holds in terms of health care in the coming months/years. THANKS
