Party dude cental (aka Parlor) has got some sweet stuff going on. Boys just recorded 13 songs in Bloomington w/ Mike at Russian Recording, got a tape of it coming out in early November on Let's Pretend, and hopefully an LP afterwards, and they're finally gonna stop touring with their other bands long enough to go on a short jaunt across the Midwest. Got some pretty good dates, including a few in Carby, check them out:11/4 Carbondale IL @ PK's (w/ Spokesmen & It Burns)
11/8 Hunksville AL @ Voodoo Lounge (w/ Dan Sartain!)
11/9 Nashville TN @ Little Hamilton
11/10 Knoxville TN @ Birdhouse
11/11 Chattanooga TN @ Discoteca (w/ JEFF the Brotherhood)
11/12 Carbondale IL @ TBA (w/ Turbo Fruits, Pujol, State Champion)
11/13 Chicago IL @ Crown Liquors (w/ Birth & Daily Void)
11/14 Bloomington IN @ House Show
Also, check out this vid we just dug up, and a track from the new tape:

I love carbondale bands because of the amount of reckless energy they bring, and even though each band is unique, the cdale scene has always been a loud one.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes parlor stand out to me is the way their vocals seem to provide the metronome for the song, in the way the lyric is an even-paced, almost chanted delivery. Then the minimalist guitar and syncopated drums just riff... it's like the vocals swap roles with the rhythm section and its the drums and guitar that are really trying to tell the story. Hope that makes sense.
End result: Definitely my favorite stuff in cdale right now. We needed something upbeat like this that wasn't thrashy punk. It's like the yardbirds meets a johnny quest safari.
