MACRoCk

Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAC : MACRoCk


The Mid-Atlantic College Radio Conference (MACRoCk) is an annual music conference held at James Madison University every April since 1997 by the university's student-run radio station, WXJM. It features local, regional, and national musical acts as well as a music label exposition and panels addressing issues of the media, music, DIY projects, and the independent music scene. MACRoCk gives underground, indie, punk, and metal bands a chance to gain exposure and publicity by showcasing them during a two-day festival. The event gives bands a much wider audience than would occur during a normal show. Some of the most notable bands to perform at MACRoCk include mewithoutYou, Q and Not U, Fugazi, The Faint, Archers Of Loaf, Prefuse 73, Mates of State, John Vanderslice, The Wrens, Converge, Superchunk, Elliott Smith, An Albatross, Coheed and Cambria, and Engine Down.
