Open Mic Wednesdays At The STOOD

First of all, everybody be sure to come to SOUTHSIDE tonight around 7 for Part II of the Culture Shock Battle of the Bands and bring lots of animals and virgins to sacrifice to Jeff Levine so that Weird Korea at least makes it to the finals tomorrow night.  Here's tonight's lineup:

The Boomerangs
Bums and Drass
The City Strikes Back
Elemeno Pete
For Every Judas

Hey Hi Hello! (that might not really be the band but holy shit look at that guy)

In Tents
Major Potential
Olken
Silence the Feedback
Trails
Typhoon the Goon
Weird Korea
Wyldlife

Pretty awesome.

Myspace search really sucks. You're going to check out all of those links before tonight right? I did.

But more importantly, WEDNESDAY NIGHTS and the STOOD have transformed from quiet acoustic nights to well... quiet acoustic nights with INTERMITTENT BANDS! Thats right, now you and your fledgling band can come play at Whitson's under the tender care of Pete McAwesome and a new array of Stood gear, including a house drum set and amps and plenty of new mics.  Weird Korea has played the past two weeks in a row and if everyone would just forget how we sounded the first week we'd be totally comfortable making this a weekly thing and you should too.  The musixc starts around 9 on Wednesdays in Whitson's, so pick two songs and get there early to sign up if you're interested in playing.

See everybody tonight, come support SUNY PURCHASE!!! bands.

BONUS

We had a little extra time yesterday after making our videos so we decided to throw a little something together.

SUNY Purchase <3s you Deerhunter

Nowadays around campus, there's been a lot of talk about the annual Culture Shock festival that's held here at SUNY PURCHASE!! in April or something. People say a lot of things about General Events Coordinator Jeff Levin, but no one can say that he's not a sophomore living in a Big Haus suite. Hey, he even got my favorite band Deerhunter for the show! Should be great!

PSYCH! He got the Dearhunter instead. But everyone already knows this because if you read this blog then you go to Purchase, and if you go to Purchase you know about Culture Shock (sucking), and if you know about Culture Shock you're "in the know," and if you're "in the know" then you read this blog. So it's all a big circle jerk ya know?

On that masturbatory note, get yr boners ready, cuz here's the AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME live video of my Deerhunter playing their hour-long set at Noise Pop '09 in sunny San Fran. Recorded in a quality that is entirely unlike the majority of YouTube live videos (AKA GOOD SHIT) this is a LITERAL GODSEND FROM GOD (AKA IAN CURTIS). It even has four brand new trax! OMG how did i evr get so luckyyyyy?!?!?!
