Films on Song Live at WTJU (2026 Rock Marathon)

The first night of the WTJU Rock Marathon, on 4/20 no less, Charlottesville band Films on Song will be performing on the WTJU Stage. The concert is open to all at 2244 Ivy Road.

This is a free non-ticketed event but donations to WTJU’s fundraiser are encouraged.

Films on Song are a post punk band who experiment in shoegaze, twee, and indie pop. They have a new album on the way called Dissection, an unpredictable trip full of apparitions and darkness. So far they have released 2 singles, Hollywood Was Right and Beige Dream. The former is a sardonic meditation on zeitgeist and the way it forms opinions. This leads to mediocrity in mainstream art becoming accepted and celebrated. Beige Dream explores uncertainty and ambiguity in everyday life, while our true selves and unadulterated thoughts live online.

Films will perform these songs as well as the rest of the album on this very special performance at WTJU, bringing their unique swagger and energy that is sure to entertain.
