KEXP has turned Vita’s upstairs into a studio. Bands and friends are rushing around plugging and unplugging. John Richards holds court. The marketing types are pushing the handy Hood to Hood map. The Web team fills an entire table. And, surprisingly, at 7:30 in the morning, there is a small crowd ready to enjoy the first band of the day. Hit it, Beads.

UPDATE: Cap to the Hill is promising FULL COVERAGE so make sure to tune in there, too.
