The show will include a raffle with prizes ranging from restaurant certificates to CDs from local artists. All proceeds will go toward our "barn raising" in November.
More on the bands:
Tractor Kings: The brain-child of Jake Fleischli, a
quiet man who has soaked his soul in Bob Dylan
bootlegs, this rockin' Americana four-piece is back at
it again with a new lineup featuring Josh Lucas on
drums, Jonny Chemical on electric guitar, Aaron
McCallister on bass and Fleischli on acoustic
12-string guitar and harmonica. The quartet has plenty
of new material to supplement their first two albums
on local indie Mud Records. For more info contact Jake
at jrf27 (at) msn.com or see them on the web at
www.myspace.com/thetractorkings.
Shipwreck: Out of the ashes of C-U's legendary
country-punks The Buzzards comes atmospheric indie
rock rock group Shipwreck, featuring dueling frontmen
Harman Jordan (formerly of The Buzzards) and John Owen
on guitars, Vladamir Brilliant on bass, and
Christopher Waage on drums. The group's debut record,
Origin, is a collection of ten layered rock songs with
a sonic drawl that reminds many of Luna bulked up on
steroids. Origin was released in August and is
available for purchase or (free) download from their
web site, www.shipwreckband.com. Contact them at
info (at) shipwreckband.com.
The Infinity Room: An up-and-coming indie rock band
from Millikin University in nearby Decatur, The
Infinity Room are one-part early-'90s shoegazer and
two-parts classic Radiohead. Or, short, they're a
melodic juggernaut that doesn't sound much like
anything the Midwest has produced as of late (and
that's a good thing!). This will be just their fifth
show in C-U in the past year. See them on the web at
www.myspace.com/theinfinityroom or
www.theinfinityroom.com.
