Th Th Th Thursday



This Thursday our pals Nighty Night will release a new EP, which you can hear above. The new EP is material written over the last winter, and they holed up in a cabin for a weekend to record it on analog 8-track. The EP will be available on CD at shows, and will be available on cassette tape soon, as a split release with Rob Jacobs Ensemble. Nighty Night will be heading out on tour in late July, we'll have more about that soon, and word is they are already working on recording their next release, so hopefully we will keep hearing more new stuff soon! You can check out some pictures from the recording session and get some info about the tour on their blog.

Also playing the show is Nashville's PUJOL, who you may remember seeing play at the Skihaus last fall or at Handsome Fest last summer. PUJOL has been super busy since the last time he has been here, releasing a 7" and a live LP on Jack White's Third Man Records, as well as not 1 but 2 12" LPs (are they out yet? we can't even keep up Daniel...), and he has been touring like crazy. We love PUJOL, and Daniel is a sweetheart, it is gonna be awesome!



Rob Jacobs Ensemble (the original one, not the new one, for those of you paying attention) will also be playing, and word is this may be their last show in Carbondale, which we hope is not true and makes us really sad!! But you better not risk it and get there on time so you don't miss them, Rob Jacobs Ensemble is definitely one of our favorite things going on in Carby right now, and they keep getting more and more badass with every show. Word is they are about to head into the studio with David Allen before the band will dis-band, so hopefully that plus the tape mentioned above (which will only feature Rob & John McCowen, btw) will give you something sweet to remember them by.
