L.A.'s Indie 103.1's Roots Rock Show "Watusi Rodeo" Celebrates One Year Anniversary With Live Extravaganza On March 11

John Doe, Steve Wynn, Randy Weeks, Remedy Motel and Special Guests Michelle Shocked, Peter Case and Tim Easton Headline "Watusi Rodeo" One-Year Anniversary Show, This Friday, March 11 at King King in Hollywood

Los Angeles roots rock stars John Doe, Steve Wynn en the Miracle 3, Remedy Motel, Randy Weeks, the Sin City All Stars and special guests Michelle Shocked, Peter Case, Tim Easton, Austin Hanks, Tonya Watts, Waylon Payne and Angela Easterling will commemorate the one-year anniversary of "Watusi Rodeo," the acclaimed roots-rock program on the city's world-famous free-form alternative radio station, Indie 103.1 FM.

The event will take place this Friday, March 11 at 8 p.m. at King King, 6555 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood. Admission is $10. Doors open at 7 p.m. A Christmas event held in December 2004 sold out and turned the club over three times, so fans are advised to get there early.

"Watusi Rodeo" first went on the air at Indie 103.1 FM in March 2004. While it has become a home to L.A.'s burgeoning Americana scene, host Doc Holiday describes it as a "roots rock" program.

At first the program was an hour and featured no live guests. But within 90 days of its inception, it had expanded to two hours, and has since gone on to feature live interviews and performances by such artists as Steve Earle, Tift Merritt, Dave Alvin, John Doe, Peter Case, Anne McCue and other artists both national and regional.

Indie 103.1 FM's terrestrial signal reaches a goodly portion of Los Angeles and Orange Counties with dual transmitters in Santa Monica and Newport Beach. In addition, the station (and "Watusi Rodeo") have attracted listeners on the Internet (go to http://www.indie103.fm and click "listen live") in such countries as U.K., France, Australia, Canada, Sweden and Iceland – not to mention the rest of the U.S.

The format of the station and L.A.'s vibrant roots, Americana and singer/songwriter scene have given Doc and "Watusi Rodeo" a wealth of music from which to draw.

The Watusi Rodeo First Anniversary show on March 11 at King King in Hollywood is co-presented by Sin City Marketing and No Depression magazine.
