YRockOnXPN 's JAKE RABID

About Me

My name is Jake Rabid. (Okay, well that's not my real name, but it's all you're getting.) I'm YRockOnXPN.org's "punk ruck dude" according to Joey O., and I'm host of The Philly Local I'm on every Sunday night from 7pm - 11pm.I've been in Philly's music scene for years now, and at some point I have been part of Y100, Stonecreek Studios, Wonka Vision Magazine, Y100rocks.com, Electric Factory Concerts, and more.My radio start came in 1997 at 107.7 WRRC where I appeared under the name "The Cretin" (also not my real name), along with a guy who called himself The Bologna Pony and we co-hosted a little pice of ameteur radio madness/history known as "Static Feedback & Noise" That lasted until about 1999Two years later I reapeared on radio and my alter ego of Jake Rabid was born on the airwaves at WGLS-FM 89.7, and spent where i eventually took reign of METAL FOR THE MASSES and entertained punkrockers, metalheads, and prison inmates alike with the heaviest rock on the radio.After a hell of a run I left WGLS at the end of summer 2003. And at that point I had sworn it would be my end. I laid the character of Jake Rabid to death... and swore it would never return again........I I lied in 2005 Y100rocks.com launched and Jake Rabid returned, withing a year Y100rocks.com had morphed into YRockOnXPN.org and I started hosting the ultimate local music show in Philadelphia the YRock Philly Local...If I look familiar, you've probably just seen me at a bunch of shows. Either that you're stalking me... If the latter is the case, please stop.If you're in a local band and want me to check out your music and maybe play you on my show send me an email at [email protected] and I'll tell you how... or send your music to me atY-Rock on WXPN Phill Local Show Attn: Jake 3025 Walnut Street Philadlphia, Pa 19104-3406give me a week or so to check out your music and if it fits tell your friends to tune in maybe they'll hear you on the show....
