CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS::: August 29, 2017

Hi friends,

Princess Nokia rolled through Montreal last night and it was a doozy of a show — sold out room, crazy energy, and an all-around great performance. Forgive me, I’m still cobbling my brain and senses back together over here.

Other than that, we’re about to dive into frosh week and campus is abuzz with new students. Anyone else feeling especially old this time of year? Please reassure me that I’m not the only one.

CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS::: August 30th, 2016

unnamed

Hello world,
Here’s a big mega-chart compiling the past few weeks’ worth of airplay here at CKUT. Today is my first day back in the office after a whirlwind month — Lungbutter was on the road for the first half of August, playing a bunch of amazing east coast dates with the truly rad Providence duo Mother Tongue. Right after the tour ended, I headed west for a bff’s wedding celebration in Alberta and stuck around to catch up with friends & family in BC afterwards. It was a wild few weeks and now I’m back in the zone at CKUT, catching up on one million emails and gearing up for the new semester. Hit me up this week with tracking or any other music inquiries, I promise this week I’ll actually be answering the phone.
