This video has been passed around recently and we think it has a very good message, especially for the students that go to Ex’pression. That’s why The Bunskies would like to share it with you. Hope you enjoy.

Upgrade

Ex’Radio recently upgraded to a Mackie Onyx 820i firewire mixer. Besides looking cool, the tactile control and added functionality is definitely a step-up from our previous MBox2 Pro. Listen for the quality of programming to continue reaching meteoric heights!

Funny Stuff on the Air

Hey guys just letting you know that I’m on here. I’m hoping to get some feedback and requests. I have this thing I call “the list” which is everyone that I have been suggested to play from friends. If you have anyone I should add to “the list“  please drop me a line here or grab me in the hall and I’ll be happy to add them.  Hope to hear from you…..Ryan

New Bunsky Time!

The Bunskies are now moving to Sunday’s @ 8pm! First show will be on August 9th.

We feel this will work better for both of us. Kage has drawing bootcamp next term, so we figured Sunday would be the best day. Also, Larry starts BRP soon.

Have a great break!

Love,

The Bunskies
