Open Music Required

by | Sun 24 Feb 2008

At LugRadio Live in the UK, we traditionally play a lot of rock music in-between talks – it keeps the atmosphere loose and fun. With [LugRadio Live USA 2008](https://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/start) on the horizon, and well aware of the dictatorship that is the RIAA, I am keen to find a collection of good rock and metal that is suitable for legal public performance at LugRadio Live USA 2008. As such, musicians, I am looking for your help here – please add a comment on this blog entry pointing to bands and music that produce music licensed that will allow us to publicly play it at the event.

The kind of music we are looking for is good-time party rock and roll, like AC/DC, Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine etc, but also heavier music and metal is very welcome too. Get those suggestions in – this is an excellent way to get your music played at one of the premier Open Source events in the USA. 🙂

Oh, and don’t forget [registration for LugRadio Live USA 2008 is open](https://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/register)!
