Lounge Act Recap - The Bloodsugars


Freshly signed to Engine Room Recordings, this Brooklyn band have earned some solid airplay here at WOXY on the strength of their “BQEP” release.

We caught up with the guys while on a brief midwestern tour. They played several tunes from the EP and also debuted a brand new track called “Falling Makes You Blue.”

We’ve all had favorite bands who were not able to successfully replicate their sound in a live setting. That is definitely not the case here. Led by Jason Rabinowitz, this is a tight session that highlights a talented group of musicians who we look forward to hearing more from in the future.

They’re hoping to start work on a full-length album this summer, but in the meantime you can get to know The Bloodsugars now with this excellent Lounge Act performance.


Track Listing:

Cinderella
Falling Makes You Feel Blue (new/unreleased)
- interview -
Bloody Mary
Purpose Was Again
Saint Of Containment

The Bloodsugars - Falling Makes You Blue (Live On WOXY.com /unreleased)

The Bloodsugars - Bloody Mary (Live On WOXY.com)

WOXY.com In Cincinnati T-Shirt!


“Baby, if you’ve ever wondered, wondered whatever became of me”

WOXY’s proud to call the ‘Nati home, so when we were asked to take part in the Cincinnati T-Shirt Fest on Fountain Square, we couldn’t say no. The Fest will be a mini-market offering all kinds of Cincinnati-themed shirts from our pro sports teams, colleges and universities, major destinations and events.

So, we asked our buds at Wire & Twine to whip up a special WOXY tee that’ll premiere at the event. The cost is $25 each but if you arrive wearing a previously issued WOXY shirt or any other of Wire & Twine’s awesomely designed tees, you’ll receive $5 off every shirt you buy (so if you Wear Your WOXY and buy two shirts, you’ll get $10 off; 3 shirts $15 off, etc). This new design is 3 color, and printed on high quality American Apparel shirts. Hometown proud, 25 years in the making: WOXY IN CINCINNATI!

As always, this is a limited edition shirt. Online orders are not being taken at this time, but may be available should demand warrant. Get it while you can, the Fest is one day only: Friday, July 18, from 11a to 2p and 5p-10p on Fountain Square downtown.

“I’m living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati W-O-X-Y!”
