December is finally here! Don't let the weather get you down, we have loads of incredible shows lined up to ensure you don't have to spend your Friday night alone in your room wearing all the sweaters you own listening to Smog. Kicking things off, HUME from Washington, DC will be playing at Skihouse this Friday! Some of the most interesting music I've heard in awhile, so stoked for this show - they've been on the road for awhile already, heading all around the country for an 80 day tour, whoa!! You don't want to miss this!!!
"Hume kicked off five years ago, the constantly metamorphosing product of guitarist/bassist/composer Britton Powell’s high school philosophy class daydreams and basement-recording sessions.
... In these early days, Hume was hard to pin down. One minute it was a solo-project, the next it was a group of free-form improvisers, then a string quartet, and finally a full-fledged band performing expansive prog-rock in a giant octopus-shaped sculpture. Whatever was going on, it was always interesting. The last touring line-up of the group featured two drummers, two basses, and three saxophones performing a single 30-minute composition that Powell wrote during a six-month trip to India.
But somewhere during the last two years, Powell decided that the constant line-up changes were not getting him where he wanted to go.
Inspired in equal parts by James Brown’s touring band and the prog-rock titans of yesteryear, Powell decided that it was time to buckle-down and get tight. He rallied the heads together--recruiting drummer and long time collaborator Wilson Kemp (Macaw), bassist/
The band just released a new 7" with two tracks, 'Inverse Fireworks' and 'One Drug'. A follow up to last year's enigmatic EP, Penumbra, the 7" finds the band refining its sprawling sound with economy and focus."

SECONDARY MODERN will also be playing! I've lived in Carbondale for about three months now but I've managed to miss them every single time they've played so I'm really excited to finally be hearing them! They've been in the recording studio recently and we'll be sure to keep you informed as to when they make their release!

"The chemistry between Mark (drums) and Sean (vox/guitar) puts most two-pieces to shame. The perfectly toned reverb is well set to a meticulous wave of drums and cymbal taps, creating a constant building and relieving of tension."

Starting Things Off Right!

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH 8PM
PILE (Boston)
jump in them leaves shake yer hips scream and yell // indie post-hardcore rock & roll maybehttp://pile.bandcamp.com/
"...we were obsessed with their previous effort, “Jerk Routine” for it’s exploration of the rock music genre. Pile’s monolithic riffs and massive, unkempt drum sounds clear the bong with ease and blows the sticky smoke into your face. “Jerk Routine” is a wise, sleeping giant that deserves a warm home on the vinyl format. As soon as we hit the scrap yard, Jerk Routine lives." - Woodbridge Records; Detroit, MI
HUNNIE BUNNIES (Boston)
fuzzed up electro noise animal babies bathed in blood
