THE FUNERAL AND THE TWILIGHT RECORD RELEASE SHOW
THE FUNERAL & THE TWILIGHT
Dave Bloxsom, Brandon Keegan, Benjamin Jones. They are influenced by horrific life experiences, death, and the mysteries of the after life. Maintaining a strong D.I.Y. attitude, this year alone they have kept busy with a heavy schedule of local shows, three tours, and releasing an EP.

THUNDERBOLT PAGODA
This is heavy Kosmische music for the modern age. Epic space voyages give way to punishing riffs and propulsive mantric rhythms, and the band make use of subtlety and bombast in equal measure. Mellotron, electric bouzouki and vintage analogue electronics act in conjunction with high-volume guitar, bass and drums to bring forth a musical palette capable of creating the epic musical landscapes the group envisions. The lineup includes members of Salamander, Skye Klad and Salubrious Invertebrae.
CHICKADEE MOUNTAIN MARTYRS
Chickadee Mountain Martyrs might be messing with your mind. But they're doing it with a finesse that lurks so deeply behind a loud and garrulous foreground, you might never know it was there until it was too late, with music that is, as great art ought to be, out of your grasp but within your reach. This isn't complexity for its own sake, but the logical expression of a band that has made up its own mind about what does and doesn't sound good, and that announces in every note a patent refusal to kowtow.
