For those of you here in Champaign-Urbana, Santa will be making their triumphant return from abroad to release their new CD, My Bones , on March 7th at 10pm at Canopy Club.  Tickets are cheap ($5 in advance) and well worth your money.

And for those of you that can’t make it to the show, I’m delighted to be able to present one of the tracks I’ve got stuck in my head off of My Bones, enjoy.

Just a little info on a show I highly urge you to go to. It’s a carbon neutral “eco-concert” being sponsored by a University class, and I believe any proceeds go to paying for the bands and charity, both good causes. There will be booths set up by green-minded organizations around the front room of Canopy Club for informational purposes. The show is November 1st at The Canopy Club in Urbana, IL, show starts at 8pm, and tickets are $5 advance/$7 door.

The lineup features:

Treologic (site) (mp3: Clap Clap)

Organic Flow (site)

Tall Tale (site)

Alleyway Sex (site)

Collusion

Forbidden Parallel (site)

The Eureka Sky (site)

After setting up camp and a little sprinkle on Thursday night, and then checking out some music at the Sunshine Stage, I closed the night out with Future Rock on the camping stage. If you’re the type to listen to Disco Biscuits, Sound Tribe Sector 9, !!!, or whoever else, this will whet your appetite for certain.  I recommend starting with an amazing opener, “Da Funk.”  “Airplane Traintracks” has a very solid jam after a cool Pink Floyd sampled intro.  “Die Junge Ein” has some great drumming at the start and jams through into “Gears,” which has a happier and majestic techno vibe to it.  “FM 1″ was a funky track off of their upcoming album.  “Torture” is an all around good song that was featured here a couple weeks ago in the Summer Camp Artist Series.  “Zipper Front” sadly ended early due to a power outage, but the band managed to pull it back into a drum solo to close the night.  Definitely a great set by the band, they’ve got me hooked.
