DOWNLOAD: Waking Lights - "Where It All Began" (from The Rabbit Hole)

NJ-based indie/folk band Waking Lights are kicking off the 2nd annual fundraiser for William Paterson University's 88.7FM Radio Station. The Brave-A-Thon fundraiser starts on Friday morning, April 23rd, and 15 bands will be playing live on-air at the studios. Waking Lights kicks off this event with a 9AM live set.

Waking Lights released an impressive EP, "The Rabbit Hole", at the end of last year that is available as a limited edition vinyl 7" (which comes with a digital download card). On this release, the band's sound ranges from indie-folk to 70's-style county/rock and I haven't quite made up my mind whether the band sounds more like Motel Motel or Steely Dan. Either way, it is engaging stuff that translates well to the live stage (check out the live video below).



Here is the band's upcoming tour dates, which includes a show at Rockwood Music Hall next month.

Apr. 23, 2010 -- WP 88.7 FM, Wayne, New Jersey (Note: 9AM set time)
Apr. 30, 2010 -- Wayne Firehouse, Wayne, New Jersey
May 19, 2010 -- Rockwood Music Hall, New York
