Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 119 – Tickets!

Thu, May 14, 2026

After a long hiatus, we’re finally back to ticket giveaways here at WRIR and during today’s show I’ll be giving away a pair to see Teen Suicide at Richmond Music Hall on 5/24/26, with support from Cloud Nothings and University.

Otherwise, it appears we’ll be spending a lot of time around Manchester with at least 4 songs having ties to that great music city.  And much like last week… SO MANY BIRTHDAYS to celebrate!
