The last few weeks have been rather slow for DIT, but that tends to happen after such slews of good shows as have been had in recent memory. It does give a chance for us folks to recoup and rally ourselves so we can go on in to the future in a fashion better suited to doing what we do best: Supporting local and DIY music and art.

We’ve made a few minor changes to the blog itself in the last few weeks. Namely, renaming a few key features to make it easier for first time visitors and everyday readers alike to use.  Hopefully this will make the act of locating shows and old articles that much easier to accomplish. Other improvements are also in the works, so stay tuned for those!

DIT(K) Is also actively seeking out the use of other venues around town. Variety is the spice of life, after all, and it does become difficult for just a few part-time venues to handle every show that may pop up around this burg. Don’t worry about having trouble finding anything though: any new venue we start working with will be posted under the ‘Find a Venue‘ link at the top of the main page.

Finally, Already Dead Tapes and Records has made a running start, putting out Forget The Times’ new tape ‘Escape from the Planet of the Llamas’, thereby bringing their total product output to 4 releases by 2 bands. Those boys are adding new artists left and right, so if you’re in to slightly-off-kilter music, or if you have a slightly-off-kilter band that you think you’d like to make a tape with, check those boys out.

We’ll be keeping things more up to date as things crop up on dates, so keep checking back. There are some great shows billed already, and even more that are still in the works.
