Oh, so that's what Radio Wowsville is Rebelling Against!
Every Sunday night at 11PM on WTJU 91.1 FM.

The Rock 'n' Roll Riot is Coming To WTJU 91.1 FM!

It's time once again to put your pink pedal pushers on and for Screamin' Mimi Jeanie to slip into her tightest poodle skirt.

No, Eddie Cochran isn't playing a Saturday sock hop at the Crozet Soda Shoppe -- next best thing. This Sunday night at 11PM on WTJU, Radio Wowsville will unleash its 8th (or 9th) semi-annual Rock 'n' Roll Riot!

[In case you should need to inform a square, the Riot features two explosive hours of greasy, stomping, desperate, twangy, unusual, sick rock and rockabilly from the '50's and early '60's. In other words, this is your granddaddy's "indie-rock" and there's nothing quaint about it!]

Find out how, on the eighth day, the Lord made pomade!

Quiver with anticipation as an army of Carl Perkins wannabes, fueled on bennies and Dr. Pepper, take over the barn dance with switchblades and snare drum paradiddles!

Hear EVEN MORE salty stories of two-timing teen queens with conjugatin' names like Bertha Lou, Betty Lou and Peggy Sue!

Ask yourself loaded questions like: "Did Dewey Phillips ever spin platters from a mandated playlist?"

ALL WILL BE REVEALED! But you'll have to tune into Radio Wowsville's semi-annual Rock 'n' Roll Riot, Sunday night at 11PM on WTJU 91.1 FM — the Sound Choice in Central Virginia -- for the answers.

Suffer!
