EPIC

One month from today, an epic show will go down at the Skihouse. THE SPITS are coming to town, all the way from Seattle. The Spits have been ruling it for over a decade now, and it is fucking awesome that we will have the chance to see them play in a basement in Carbondale, and for only $6 (you could see them headline Hozac Records Blackout Fest the day before for $20.. or in Memphis at the Hi-Tone the day after for $8.. we're getting lucky.) They've got 4 S/T LPs you should get familiar with, out on Thriftstore, Dirtnap, Slovenly, and Nickel & Dime Records (not to mention a split with NOFX on Fat Wreckchords..) and they are all pretty much killer. Word is the live show if off the chain, we can't wait to find out.

On top of that, Lafayette, Indiana's TV Ghost will be there too, bringing their Cramps meets Suicide shattered-creepy-post-punk rippers to the darkest corners of the basement. TV Ghost have not one, but two killer LPs out on In The Red Records, which should tell you all you need to know.

Local dudes Freedom Ride, who are getting so tight it is crazy, and The Shakes, who will have a new line-up, are playing too! Mark your calendar!
