Cloud Rat 3/22, IU Documentary, Racebannon/Cattle Drums/Donna announce & more!

 

Greetings from the underground,

 

WOW! Thanks to the bold who venutured out on Sunday night for BRIAN! /  Bangladeafy! / So is the Tongue / Mylets / Graupel.  What an absolutely incredible night of music... just jaw dropping, honestly.  Do you self a favor ad go see Bangladeafy!,  So is the Tongue, and/or Mylets as soon as you can if you missed it.  Especially Mylets... that kid is just 17, touring solo. Loop based complex punk/mathrock/psych/pop and really well done. He closed with a Battles cover - all by himself. WHOA. We hope to have video posted soon. Keep an ear to the ground for more Graupel shows too... hot new locals. 

 

Just announced:

Another stacked show for this spring (this very well may be our best month of shows ever...).  We're extremely proud to announce the addition of Mid-west, genre-defying underground legends RACEBANNON on April 26th at The Haunt with Cattle Drums and the return of Hi, Donna Here (aka Donna). Indie rock? No. Metal? No. Hardcore? No. Noise-core? No. Racebannon? Yes. There is no band like the blood soaked, unhinged insanity that is that band.  More info and tickets available via Ticketleap: http://ithacaunderground.ticketleap.com/racebannon/

 

FREE!:

Check out the recently released documentary "Ithaca is Underground" by Lanny Huang which covers a bit of our history and a lot on where we're going. Plus, a new Meet The Band on our headliner for this Thursday, Cloud Rat. Tons of  high-quality, multi-angle footage from the fundraise show is up now too.
