HALFWAY TO 50 BIRTHDAY BONANZA

On October 7 I'll be one step closer to that if-y part of life that people call the golden years. I hear there's a lot of napping and watching Wheel of Fortune involved. While that's all well and good, I figured a hefty amount of partying is necessary while my hips are still strong enough to tolerate some dancing without shattering into tiny bits. Thus-ly, 4 super rad bands will be playing at the Swamp (417 W. Monroe) to celebrate youth, loud music, beer, dancing, bad ass-ery, and all type s of awesome things like that.

COUNTY GRAVES = local badass americana

THESE MAGNIFICENT TAPEWORMS = local badass surf

HARE KRISHNA STOMPBOX = kind of local (me plus Joe from the Tapeworms doing tunes from my Wausau, WI band) badass amalgamation of loud musics

DAN SENTIGHTY = badass technical prog thrash (or somethin' like that)

No cover! (donations accepted though if you want the Swamp to start bringing in well known names)
Free beer!
Some free food probably!

THE SWAMP: OPEN FOR SEASON

Hey kids. The Swamp is back and business and has some rad events coming your way next week. On Thursday, August 23 some friends from Wausau, WI are swinging by to pummel ya'll with awesomeness.
Poney has been cranking out genre bending metal for well over 6 years now and has just released an awesome new single on red cassettes called Octavius/Melt Trip.
Morality Crisis blew the Wausau scene away for a few years prior to 2006 and has recently reformed, recorded an EP (North), and has started up a label (Minnesconsin). Our pals High Horse will be rounding out the show with their stoner rock-ish riffs.
9pm show time.
$5 suggested donation.

If that weren't enough, the Swamp will be hosting a basement dance party Friday, August 24 DJ'd by Mr. Rory Sazama. He'll be playing all kids of kick ass stuff from his glorious funk/soul/hip-hop collection.
There'll be some beer available and s'more supplies (while they last) so come party and get your groove on.
Music starts around 10.
Dress attire is suggested black and white themed.
No cover but I'm sure Rory could use some extra cash so bring something to donate if you want.

For some reason the links aren't looking so check out the bands here.

GUERILLA TOSS
holy hell! I'm in love!
"noised out sax, bass and guitar play nice with sick bass synth, keyboards and tape delay. Even their drums are laced with contact mics and effects trigge...rs. But what is so captivating about this band is how all of these already far out sounds manage to fit together so perfectly, in a way that leaves you on the brink of insanity while enjoying pure rock and roll fury."
