A Strutt full of people understood that all too well last night, rocking out to Rotten Wood Moon, Gold Panda, and of course HEALTH. The house was packed, the mixed drinks were on special, and the drummer’s monitor speaker caught fire during the last set. Sounds like a good time to me, especially for a mild-weathered mid-June hump-day.

The Almanac Shouters got a great review over at Sounds Good ink. Check it out and get a second opinion. It’s all a tease for us Kalamazoo folks, though, ‘cuz the boys and girls that make up the Shouters are on the road for the next few weeks. That means you’ll either have to wait until they get back to grab a copy of A Long Road Home, or take a little trip and catch ’em on one of their tour dates abroad. Oh, The Corner Record Shop has some copies too. That said, everyone at DIT(K) would like to wish the Almanac Shouters the best of luck and a safe journey. Go get ’em guys!

Friday, the No Fun House is playing host for We’re Wolves, As Above So Below (both from Kalamazoo), and The Lorax Tree from way down in Cleaveland. It’s gonna be a night filled with progressive guitar, spaceship/laserbeam/robot sounds, and break-beats.

I don’t know about you, but I love break-beats, and The Lorax Tree seems to know how to rock a break-beat.

Of course, that’s not all they’re rockin’, but if you wanna get the full effect, you’ll just have to slide through the No Fun House this Friday with two bucks for the touring bands. 9pm, no punk-rock time. Check it.
