Fri Dec 28th, DUNDAS + KOUSHIK w/Circuit Breaker

"Imagine if you took the essence of David Axelrod and The Electric Prunes and distilled that into tabs of acid. Imagine then, that the guy who edits The Wire dropped those tabs and decided to mix all of the records in his collection into a single tune. That's the sound of DUNDAS (formerly PEGASUS!)" ~Dave Taylor, Artrocker.com

Always a great mix at the Casbah, good job.

Wed Dec 19th, Spherical Christmas Party

featuring acts such as LURE, TWO-MINUTE MIRACLES and SQUARE ROOT OF MARGARET.

Square Root of Margaret are from Chatham and have been one of my favs for ten years now. Check 'em out, I'd love to hear what folks think of them. Guitary space indie pop.. or so. Lure, TMM, others.. both rooms rockin' should be a good night!

nice... already planning to attend the Spherical party, lot of tres good folk involved with the spherical productions crowd (Hunter Eves is under their wing and also performing, lounge-side)... will make the effort to remember and check out square root bb, have heard the name lotsa times

Just spoke with buddy from the band, here at work. Square Root of Margaret are no longer on the bill. Oh well, better to see them when they have more stage time anyway.

[backbacon]

Okay, I guess SROM are playing again.. moody indie rockers.. I tell ya.

2 Hours Traffic are a ridiculously hooky band. That 'nobody wants to be caught for the summer, scratch your name in my side - it's all about making good time' tune is unbelievably good (highlight of Hillside for me this year). I'm gonna hit them up for an interview for that show.

You know just listening to Sean Macdonald for the first time and it's good to in a mellow Iron and Wine sort of way.
