Secondary Modern S/T LP

Our boys in Secondary Modern were hard at work on their S/T LP back in Nov-Dec 2011, and the day is finally here for us to hear it! You can stream the album on their bandcamp, download it from iTunes, and it should be available on vinyl in about a month. Can't wait!

Music For Swimmers

Our pal Dave X over at WDBX 91.1 has had a cool show showcasing experimental music for some time now, and he is moving to a new time slot! You can now catch his new show, Music For Swimmers, every Sunday from 5-6p.

County Graves

County Graves is a pretty sick new Carby band, you better check them out whenever you get a chance! We're not sure when their next show is, but we'll be sure to let you know when we do!

WILD 4/19

Hey friends, we've got a pretty rad show happening at the Big Muddy IMC tomorrow. As far as I know it is the first musical happening there since the improve forum. Since the IMC has been active lately simply as a public space, the show will be all ages and no drinking will be permitted. But, if you want to drink, a simple solution would be to take care of that before/during/afterward at a different location. Way easy.

ORANGE IGUANAS are a rad retro garage rock band from Appleton, Wisconsin who are on tour to support their brand new self release Hou Tian (listen below).

Carbondale natives HIGH HORSE (riffy badassness) and THESE MAGNIFICENT TAPEWORMS (super fun danceable surf) will be joining to round out the set. Should be awesome! See ya'll down there!
