Last month, WTBU, Boston University’s student-run radio station, suffered an unfortunate fate: a three-alarm electrical fire destroyed the studios and three djs inside at the time escaped with minor injuries. For the volunteer staff of nearly 200 students, the station had been like a second home. As soon as word got out about the tragedy, alumni from the station’s 50-year history were contacting WTBU asking how to help. A donation page was set up on the Boston University website, but for some, getting together and celebrating what everything WTBU means to them is a more apropos way to go. On Wednesday, there will be a benefit show at POP Allston, featuring local acts playing acoustic sets, with proceeds going to help rebuild the station.

Each of the acts performing have played (or almost played, in one case) in the WTBU studios in the past. Here’s a little bit more about them (and some photos from the WTBU archives) to get you ready for tomorrow night:

10:19, a fresh duo composed of BU students, named their act after the dorms in West Campus, and have a sweet pop electric sound. They’ll be opening the show tomorrow night.

The Rare Occasions are a rock quartet composed of ex-Berklee and Tufts students, but they’ve made the rounds playing gigs at many Boston-area colleges and all around the East Coast. Their twist on pop rock is layered and zany, and lead singer Brian McLaughlin’s solo acoustic set on Wednesday will feature some Rare Occasions favorites and a few surprises. You can listen to the in-studio they did in 2012 at WTBU here.

Covey has played countless shows as a solo act and as a full band. Rumor has it that singer Tom Freeman, who landed in Boston by way of England, was going to play on WTBU this week, but fate obviously had different plans. Freeman will be closing out the night with an acoustic set, and you might get to hear his single, “Stranger,” which premiered on Allston Pudding last summer.

Tickets are $8 for BU students, and $10 for everyone else and day-of. The show starts at 7:30pm and you can buy tickets in advance here, or donate directly to WTBU here if you can’t attend.
