As Eastern CT continues to build itself as the place to be in terms of underground music in the state, we have the scoop on a great show coming up on April 6th at community space The Only Place That Ever Felt Like Home in East Hartford.
Shrinnirs - Dawn and Joe, the pair who run Willimantic Records in Willimantic, making avant-garde noisy weirdo punk music. This band has been around since 1987! They are staunch supporters of all ages music in CT and have played with Bikini Kill, Mi6, The Ex, and more. DIY legends.
Catnaps - a band from Philadelphia we are able to ~exclusively announce~ are playing this show! Formerly known as When I Was 12, this group makes, hands down, the cutest music you ever did hear. Their singer, Adrianne, added vocals to that Modern Baseball LP that all the kids are into right now.
Posture & The Grizzly - newly revitalized band from Willimantic making emo/indie jams, featuring members of I’m ok. and One Hundred Year Ocean. “On the rise” and will be also seen soon at a “beautiful” release show in the upcoming months.
Nikolaus - indie/folk in the vein of Mike Kinsella/John Darnielle. This dude also played violin on the new Old Gray LP and will soon be working with Kissing Fractures.
Sleek For The Long Flight - Matt Davidge-Paolillo’s solo work - with Osier Bed on hiatus, she has all new material to showcase in a stripped down setting.
WHOO! This show will be really incredible - so I personally hope you’ll be there! Email itfeltlikehome(at)gmail(dot)com for the address. Show up at 6 for a great time!
Did you miss Old Gray and I Kill Giants last night at the inaugural event at The Only Place That Ever Felt Like Home? If you did, you’re still a weenie, because that place rules and Curtis is doing a great job with it, as you can see above in this brilliant profile of Cam Boucher of Old Gray taken by yours truly.
Fear not, though, if you missed it, as a.) there will be other events coming up very soon at the space and b.) Old Gray and I Kill Giants are playing a last-minute matinee TODAY at 3pm in Willimantic at Willimantic Records. New TWIABP member and new CT resident alike David F. Bello will be performing as well. It’s a free show with donations encouraged. Eastern CT on top in 2013, y’all!
Big gig is back in town.
The World Is… plays their last hometown show of the year in Willimantic with a stacked lineup. Purchase College space rock bro chillers LVL UP, Scranton punk/indie group Three Man Cannon (members of Tigers Jaw), Oregon indie trio Lee Corey Oswald (you might remember them from the Adam McIlwee/Clippers/TWIABP show in Hartford late last year…), MA conscious pop punk The Hotel Year, and singer-songwriter David F. Bello (now in TWIABP) will be joining the bill. Come hang out before we get pummeled to a fiery death by some Mayan gods.
$5 / vegan potluck
