SOUND OF CERES
Sound of Ceres (Candy Claws) [soundofceres.com]
SOUND OF CERES is Ryan and Karen from CANDY CLAWS with a little help from Robert, John, and Ben from APPLES IN STEREO, as well as Jacob from THE DRUMS! What A Lineup!! I've got to tell you, this gang is making some of my favorite new music right now. It's spacey, gauzy, and dreamy without sacrificing the hooks. Truly gorgeous stuff. Imagine if "Smiley Smile" had a nice woman with a soft and beautiful voice singing on it instead of stupid Mike Love and you're getting kind of close to how this music makes me feel. Check out their video for "Bryn Marina" over at Pitchforkmedia.com, and then please help me welcome them to Bloomington! It's their only INDIANA stop on this whole tour!

Mike Adams At His Honest Weight [honestweight.tumblr.com]
For a handful of perfectly understandable and logical reasons, this is going to be our last FULL, SIX-PIECE BAND show for a while. Maybe last one for 2015?? Hard to say. Expect maximum fun! A couple of anecdotal reviews after our most recent six-man-band performance were that it was "the best Honest Weight show I've ever seen!", and "you guys sound great!", and "don't quit your day jobs!". So you can expect more of that, plus the added, bittersweet, extra romance of having to make this one count and tide us over til the next unknowable time we get to do this. There's a good chance we'll have some free Flannelgraph Records tee shirts for you, too
