Pad Tight show change

Via Eric – “The show is now longer at Pad Tight. It has been moved to Ray’s Monkey House (1578 Bardstown Road). Sorry for the late notice, this just happened. I was unable to find a PA for the house and I don’t have any money to pay any possible fines.

The show is 2 or 3 dollars, whatever you got. Nobody will be turned down for lack of funds. But we need the money to help Bearings get to the next date of their tour. Don’t be a dick, be a dude.

The show still starts at 5. The show is still gonna be fucking tight.

Bands bring normal equipment. Feel free to call me at 593-4314

GET STOKEDER! “

Metroschifter/Noise Pollution News

From NP:

METROSCHIFTER will be playing their first Louisville show in a year this Saturday (January 9th).  This is also their first U.S. date since the completion of their recent European tour.  Expect all the hits from their storied 15 year career (convientiently documented on Whatever’s Wrong With Me is Here to Stay) as well as new awesomeness from their most recent album Carbonistas.

Also on the bill will be SECOND STORY MAN who will be supporting their brand new full length Screaming Secrets which will be available at the show on both CD and LP.  FRONTIER(S) (which if you’re unfamiliar features Chris Higdon of Elliott fame) will round things out.

Young Widows tour pics

Young Widows have wrapped up their latest tour with Russian Circles and are back home for a while. They’re going to be taking somewhat of a break and focusing on writing their next record. They’ve posted exactly what I just told you as well as some great photos from the tour on the Young Widows MySpace blog. Check it out when you have a minute or three. Photos (I’m assuming, sorry if I’m wrong) mostly by Nick Thieneman.

Microcontrollers, robots, freeduinos, oh my

Skull Alley is hosting “LVL1 Solder your own Freeduino Workshop” in January. Some of the possible applications (light controller, music synthesis) could come in pretty handy if you’re in a band, or hell you could get some ideas on how to make your coffee pot post to Twitter when it’s empty and alone. If you’re interested, it is suggested that you bring a laptop and your own soldering equipment if possible. If you don’t have a soldering iron, they will have a few available, but you need to let them know when you sign up (registrations are open until Jan. 15th I believe). For registration and materials (you’ll take your microcontroller home with you), it’s $50.
