Sunday = Sweet

There's something special about Skihouse Sunday shows, and this one is gonna be a good one. Fergus & Geronimo will be in town from Denton TX, they've been on tour for a little while now promoting their new LP "Unlearn" which just came out on Hardly Art (they're playing a sold-out show in Chicago tonight with Smith Westerns, bet it is sweeeet). Catholics & The Pill are playing too, it will be their first show on their home turf at the Skihouse. It that wasn't enough, the lovely Matt M. is back in town and Secondary Modern is also playing, and they are about to go on a quick tour around the midwest right after the show. Come to this show on time it's a school night!!!!

Go to that triple-release show tonight, but get some rest because tomorrow is gonna be so killer! Our fav pals from Nashville are coming up, JEFF The Brotherhood and Diarrhea Planet, and they are going to be getting down with local favs Nighty Night and Staring Problem at the Skihouse. If you've been living under a rock, JEFF has been blowing up lately. They've just toured Europe and Australia in the past few months, and they're preparing to release their second LP "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS" later this spring. We're super stoked to see them play at the Skihouse again. Diarrhea Planet has been busy lately too, they've just released their first 7", and have another one on the way, and they might even tour more soon if they can figure out a way to cram all 5 of those guitars in a car. Gonna be good, see you tomorrow.

||| TRIPLE RELEASE |||

Three awesome new bands are celebrating their first releases at Hangar 9 tonight, it is going to be a hell of a show so you better make it out!

The Heat Tape has just released Raccoon Valley Recordings, a 12-song CD on Red Scare Records, recorded by Brett Hunter in his trailer in Raccoon Valley. It sounds killer, and the cover is pretty amazing too. I imagine you will be hearing a lot more from The Heat Tape in the near future, but you better go ahead and get that CD now! They've also been dropping videos for most of the album, check out the most recent one below.

The CD is available at Plaza Records, or online here, and also on itunes/amazon here.

Staring Problem has been busy.. They've just released their 8-song S/T tape (buy it online here) and although I thought you could FINALLY get a copy at the show tonight.. I've heard they have already sold out. Bummer.. but don't you worry, they are being re-pressed as we speak, and they will have t-shirts at the show tonight, and if you just can't wait you can always buy the digital files on itunes here. (although I think you get a free digital download if you buy the tape online for cheaper.. just sayin..). Word is that their Chris LaGarce-produced video will be done soon as well, and that they are recording new material for a split 7".

Autonomy is the newest of the new bands, but they have been making things happen quickly. They are releasing a demo recording at this show (recorded by Brett Hunter of The Heat Tape), and Maximum Rock n Roll has already written a very nice review of it. Hope there will be some T-shirts available as well? You can hear some of the demo tracks here.

You can follow along with Autonomy in the digital world at their blog : http://autonomyband.blogspot.com/

Cannot believe how psyched we are for this show.. two of our Nashville favorites are coming up to Carby again this weekend. JEFF always kills it at the Skihouse (proof below), and Diarrhea Planet was awesome at Handsome Fest 2010 and will no doubt be even more awesome in the basement. Local pals Nighty Night and Staring Problem too.. gonna be so good.

Wild Week

We took the week off from blogginz to visit NYC.. ate some amazing food, saw c-dale expat Lana Weiss kill it at Williamsburg Fashion Week, saw Crystal Stilts play (can't wait for that new record to drop), and had an all-around rad time. Hope everyone had a good week in Carby.. maybe you caught that show at the Litterbox, or that C4-juried show at the Glove Factory, or maybe you went to see Thee Oh Sees and Fergus & Geronimo play in St. Louis, or maybe you just soaked up that 70-degree sun we only heard about.. it was a good week.

OKAY SO FORGET ABOUT LAST WEEK. This week is insane. We'll line it all out for you in greater detail soon, but you best clear your schedule and get some rest tonight, because it is going to be raging for the rest of the week.
