Have an event coming up you’re looking to spread the word about?
Send an email to info@xray.fm to see how we can help!
When emailing please include:
- Any relevant info about the event (dates/times, location, ticket links, info sheets etc.)
- What you're looking for from us, preferably in the subject or early in the email.* This could be things like being a media sponsor, paid underwriting packages, inviting us to attend, PSAs* AV services, getting an on-air interview, booking an XRAY DJ, having us be present there, etc.
Timeline: For those new to working with us, without an established event promotion relationship or agreement, we need to receive your submission at least three weeks prior to your event for potential inclusion on our events calendar, and preferably six weeks if you are interested in a radio spot about your event (i.e. underwriting). We are unlikely to consider last minute requests.
Please Note: We have a very limited capacity and unfortunately cannot accommodate all requests. The clearer your ask and the more obvious of a fit with our programming and/or mission, the more likely we'll prioritize it. We unfortunately cannot respond to every request, but welcome you nudging/following up with us to get it on our radar if it's a good fit and we haven't replied.
*Only nonprofits and/or things benefitting the wider community (such as something like demonstrations, disaster relief, mutual aid campaigns, etc.) are eligible for PSAs typically, with anything else being up to our discretion and typically done on media trade, paid campaigns, or as an act of good will because we feel strongly about something. All scripts need to be approved by us for our FCC compliance standards--even if a recorded file already exists.

Made up by Elijah Gibbins-Croft, Oey James, and Ian Robles, Foxtide is a byproduct of being bred by the beach and raised by a DIY house show scene. The SoCal three-piece was formed around garage jam sessions and earned their cult following through the intense vitality of their live shows.
First starting to release music in 2019, it was the band's second EP Visons in 2021 that took them from a hometown secret to a band to watch nationally. Moving into the chapter of their next project, Foxtide is abandoning the idea that they need to create "perfect" music, and simply making what they like to listen to. Tinged with the aloofness of early 2000s rock, while experimenting with the formulas of modern pop, all threads are knotted in the authenticity behind Foxtide's unrelenting love for music.
This year brings its own unique societal challenges, which is why I’m presenting a different kind of Pride Month Kick-Off Party. It'll be the same joy-inducing vibe wrapped in a little different package.
As always, it’s important to create affirming spaces for our LGBTQ community, but this year I also want to emphasize solidarity across marginalized communities and reject the forces trying to divide us.
To explore that idea, I’m looking back to the 1976 Bicentennial celebration, which marked 200 years of the United States and came in the wake of the ousting of an unethical president. It was an attempt to restore national unity through patriotism. Less often discussed are the counter-events organized by disenfranchised communities, including LGBTQ activists, who used the moment to speak out against exclusion from the American dream.
At this June edition of Flame, we’ll gather on the dance floor in that same rebellious spirit, finding inspiration in those who spoke out in 1976 while channeling that energy toward confronting today’s inequities. Most importantly, we’ll celebrate solidarity through music, dancing to records released or recorded in 1976.
Expect rarities, familiar favorites, and/or guilty pleasures from Queen, Betty Wright, ABBA, The Spinners, Millie Jackson, Peter Frampton, Stevie Wonder, Rose Royce, and more.
Dress in threads that invoke the spirit of the event (however you choose to interpret it.)

XRAYFM is excited to partner with the Overlook Neighborhood Association for their annual Porchfest in 2026.
Mark your calendars for July 11th & 12th, 2026, as our Overlook neighborhood transforms its streets into a vibrant, decentralized arts venue for the fifth annual Overlook Porchfest.
At its heart, Porchfest is a grassroots celebration where neighbors generously offer their front porches, driveways, and yards as stages for local musicians. For families, it represents an unparalleled opportunity to connect with neighbors and experience live art in a safe, walkable environment.
This year offers a trifecta of community events. The music festival coincides with the beloved Overlook Yard Sale and Free Share weekend, as well as the Mississippi Avenue Street Fair. Residents can spend the day hunting for yard sale treasures and shopping local street fair vendors before spreading a blanket on a neighbor’s lawn to enjoy an open-air concert.
More information, map, schedule and artist applications can be found at www.https://overlookneighborhood.org/events/porchfest/
