But it's bad in that we're going 'what are we going to cut?'" Ms. Kirby said.</div> <div>      The 90-minute stage is a take-off of WEND's local show on Sunday nights hosted by on-air personality, Charley.</div> <div>      JPS will be the last band to lay the 90-minute stage. The first band plays there at 11 a.m. JPS hits the stage at 1:30 p.m. "It's definitely a good way to be heard and to be seen, and to see a ton of other people that I've wanted to see. I'm really excited. It's a good way for people to get a taste of what we're like," Ms. Kirby said.</div> <div>      Ms. Kirby describes JPS performances as energetic, kind of flashy, but emotional on a certain level. The music focuses on aggression, pop and good rock.</div> <div>      JPS finds fun in dressing p in all that shines and sparkles. "That's what we believe is entertainment. Not to the point of fakeness, but fun. I just like seeing someone getting into what they're doing."</div> <div>      And different people get into things in different ways and for us it's visual," Ms. Kirby explains.</div> <div>      "The entertainment part of our show is not just to play cool music; it's to entertain you visually as well, but not in a silly way."</div> <div>      Ms. Kirby says the JPS show is "an arena rock show in a club setting," completing the effect with cool lights and props. </div> <div>      "We work our butts off to make sure that it's like nothing you've ever seen before at club level," Ms. Kirby said.</div> <div>      "Granted we don't have major label-type cash behind us. Even so, you'll be entertained in a way that you're not usually entertained."</div> <div>      The band plays tonight in Raleigh and will travel to Charlotte to set up at the Roast by 10 a.m. tomorrow. </div> <div>     The celebration is sold out, but information about the event can be found at WEND's web site, www.1065.com. </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
