Have a great time tonight!!!\n\nThe Sisters of Mercy is an English rock band, formed in 1980 in Leeds.\n\nAfter achieving early underground fame there, the band had their commercial breakthrough in the mid-1980s and sustained it until the early 1990s, when they stopped releasing new recorded output in protest against their record company WEA.\n\nCurrently, the band are a touring outfit only. The Sisters of Mercy ceased recording activity in the early 1990s, when they went on strike against East West Records, whom they accused of incompetence and withholding royalties, and had pressured the group to release at least two more studio albums; instead, the label released the album Go Figure under the moniker SSV in 1997.\n\nAlthough the Sisters of Mercy were eventually released from their contract with East West, they have never been signed to another label nor released any new material, despite showcasing numerous new songs in their live sets. Former members of the group established the bands Ghost Dance and The Mission. https://bit.ly/3HNFrBO", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3617940, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3617940/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-15T16:45:21-08:00", "show": 65942, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65942/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Wanna Be Enough", "track_id": "0e555493-b9b9-4451-9d89-aa11f39edd8e", "recording_id": "5da93422-dc33-4b7b-8333-7157c5b1ab1f", "artist": "Painted Vein", "artist_ids": [ "ea1752c0-d057-4395-bca3-8fa3448d43b4" ], "album": "Wanna Be Enough", "release_id": "72741beb-a42c-4d84-970e-4280525487b5", "release_group_id": "3026f5e1-3f24-481c-83cf-9dd3ff93e59a", "labels": [ "[no label]" ], "label_ids": [ "157afde4-4bf5-4039-8ad2-5a15acc85176" ], "release_date": "2026-01-29", "rotation_status": "Medium", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Playing at Seattle's Central Saloon on April 10th at 8pm. \n\nPainted Vein is the music project of the musician, producer, and audio engineer Andrea Fox Volpato who has spent the last 10 years collaborating in writing, recording, and touring the world with different music projects.\n\nFrom 2017 to 2022 Andrea was the lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the Italian band New Candys, with whom he toured Europe, the UK, Australia, the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Balkans and opened tours for bands like the Dandy Warhols, Black Angels, and BJM. https://tinyurl.com/48k47uff", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3617938, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3617938/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-15T16:41:00-08:00", "show": 65942, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65942/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn710609.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-d682a4ba-1a44-486c-b68a-75ef28852c3a/mbid-d682a4ba-1a44-486c-b68a-75ef28852c3a-7041343812_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia600106.us.archive.org/7/items/mbid-d682a4ba-1a44-486c-b68a-75ef28852c3a/mbid-d682a4ba-1a44-486c-b68a-75ef28852c3a-7041343812_thumb250.jpg", "song": "I Feel You (7\" mix)", "track_id": "379e094f-3527-3996-b69d-63a0f503367d", "recording_id": "168bfc56-369b-4390-925c-8e9e4318a23c", "artist": "Depeche Mode", "artist_ids": [ "8538e728-ca0b-4321-b7e5-cff6565dd4c0" ], "album": "Singles 25-30", "release_id": "1ac8d67d-e033-30b3-bfc1-4473c5519ffd", "release_group_id": "e097b3ce-84a1-45a6-aedf-05a7091e9da8", "labels": [ "Reprise Records", "Mute", "Rhino" ], "label_ids": [ "af6d6f49-2b4d-40fe-86d4-241906772b59", "e0b106a5-4add-4839-9e40-c192457e1bf8", "c4f2cf49-b57c-4cc1-8061-f54400704ac4" ], "release_date": "2004-03-30", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "On this day in 1993, Depeche Mode release the single \"I Feel You\" from the 1993 album Songs Of Faith And Devotion. \n\nThe song was written by Martin Gore and produced by the band with Flood.

Her compositions are an exploration of leitmotifs and simple melodies evoking feelings and images. Instrumental pieces are created in a minimalist convention, sprinkled with a lot of Slavic romanticism and gentleness.\n\n\"Isolde\" is a unique meeting of two artistic sensitivities – pianist and composer Couto, and vocalist and producer OS.SO. Their joint concept album is a minimalist, emotional journey that blends Polish folk, neoclassical music, and cinematic aesthetics. Built on the intimate sound of the piano, subtle vocals, and delicate electronics, it creates an atmosphere of silence, closeness, and inner movement. It’s music that doesn’t need words, it speaks through emotion.\n\nIsolde, the imaginary heroin, is embarking on a symbolic journey of self-discovery. Her name carries two meanings: the one who is looked at and the ruler of ice. Between those two ideas lives her struggle - to understand who she really is when caught between the gaze of others and her own reflection. a pianist, composer and a producer from Poland. https://tinyurl.com/4585ymtx", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3617930, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3617930/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-15T16:24:17-08:00", "show": 65942, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65942/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/5ef60127-3f92-435f-ab57-51cda0b24fb5/41788205337-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/5ef60127-3f92-435f-ab57-51cda0b24fb5/41788205337-250.jpg", "song": "Macaia", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "021033ae-60e5-4b24-84c2-f9c20a2c6a6a", "artist": "Gaia Banfi", "artist_ids": [ "25b1d7a5-6332-42ab-9c66-e26f5b74c765" ], "album": "La Maccaia", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "63f35d5a-4588-4342-ace6-4adf0e27926e", "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "2025-04-04", "rotation_status": "R/N", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Milan's Gaia Banfi has quickly established herself as one of the most compelling voices and sounds in Italy's electronic music scene.
