Tune into WEFT, 90.1 FM, tonight from 10:00 - 11:00 p.m. for WEFT Sessions, their weekly live in-studio music show. Tonight's show features Herb Scher, an acoustic alternative folk performer from New York City, and Cole Rabenort.
Scher, whose style of music has been described as anti-folk, has played piano for the Elastic No-No Band, a collaboration with Justin Remer.
As usual, following WEFT Sessions, the station will play requested local music.
Lurking in a converted basement of an unassuming house in old town Champaign is the motor that drives some of the best-respected bands in indie rock. Bob Andrews, who runs the local office of Undertow Music Collective, keeps things running smoothly for such artists as Centro-Matic, David Bazan, Jesse Harris and Bottle Rockets. Bottle Rockets will be playing at the Highdive on Saturday, August 15 16 (check out Smile Politely's preview on Thursday).

Way Out West Entrance
Generally speaking, Smile Politely tries to cover events in and around Champaign-Urbana. It's part of our mission statement actually; we believe in the notion that our cities have their own culture. But seeing as how almost half of us have been overseas for the past week and a half, we thought a few photos from a great music festival abroad, Way Out West, would be fun to share. Enjoy.
