hot press from the *ahem* label:

“The “solo effort” these days has become just another thing we’ve come to expect and promptly forget, like new kid’s breakfast cereals. Guitarist Adam Burt (STNNNG, Total Fucking Blood, The Vets) however has coughed up something pretty super and original to lay into with his Blackcloud Stallionheart thang and debut disc, 2009.

Appearing suddenly as an alarmingly curious songcrafter who deadpan baritones his way through simple hooks and lyrics, Burt’s preoccupations seem to float around themes like mysticism, old testament name-checkin’, science, and pop politics. His guitar playing, both acoustic and electric, would feel quite at home alongside a variety of other stylists at any given point on the 30 minute record (Ben Chasny, Richard Thompson, Joe Satriani, classic Popul Vuh’s Conny Veit, and more song-style Ranaldo/Moore are a few that pop into the head), but the whole god-dang unified thing lightly rambles and shambles along with its own open-chord, strummy boldness that is really beautiful. This is- as they say- a guitarist’s guitar album, but it’s also a songwriter’s album. You will also hear on this recording some minimal accompanying instrumentation breaking up the gaps and filling the pleasant rhythm box. It’s silly and meditative at once, and it is also just so very awesome.

Excellent mixing by Neil Weir, masterful design and art by Hannah Haugberg, and precision screen-printing by Danimal Graphixxx”

“White Lodge” will be available for $5 at this show.

City On The Make, seem to have been graced with a stroke of luck. They were originally slated to host their CD Release show for ‘Keep This On Fire’ at the tempoarily defunct 400 Bar. After some juggling, the Bedlam graciously agreed to help the dudes out.

The Bedlam is a great spot, right off the light rail station of The Greenway.  Their roof patio is a highlight..

Just a quick jump from anywhere really, but it’s closest neighbors are Triple Rock & Palmer’s..

Digitata have been on hiatus for awhile now. They re-united to record an album. Here is note about their first and possibly last show in a long time..

We are releasing it at an art show we are throwing for some friends at First Amendment Arts. the show is called “Sawdust City”. These are the artists:

Eric Lee – incredibly detailed “realist” paintings of decaying industrial settings. Uses gunpowder too. some of them are HUGE.
David Jensen – abstract paintings made with a huge variety of materials, i believe mostly from the construction world.
Chance Orth – wood-framed photography and strange small sculpture.
