What you may not have heard about are some of the great after parties going on at night. Specifically the first ever show at THAT’S HOUSE tonight.

The fine folks in local post hardcore group That’s Blood have got a new house down in the ‘student ghetto’ and are looking to become a more active part in our growing community. They have graciously offered up their spot to help out some rad touring bands from Chicago tonight.

GYPSYBLOOD –
These dudes have soul.

NEW DIET –
Lo-Fi indie punk. Reminds one of early Pavement.

In addition,  That’s Blood themselves will be playing along with locals Everyone & Their Empty Cups. I had the pleasure of being in studio a week ago when ETEC was recording their Dead @ WIDR session. Those boys are getting really really good. Don’t miss it!

This show is gonna run a bit late so you can get as much Boiling Pot in as possible. First band kicks off at 10:30.
PLEASE PLEASE BRING DONATIONS FOR THE TOURING BANDS
These boys have a long way to travel and the ONLY way they’re gonna make it is if we help them.  If you’ve got beers, you’ve got bucks.

Saturday, October 1st at 11:30 pm there will be an electronica show at the Millhouse including such talents as Lovestranger MD, WEARWOLF, Problems that Fix Themselves, and joshualien.

If you’ve been missing a specific element in your life. Maybe it’s love, maybe it’s passion, maybe it’s just sheer happiness; i’m sure if you stopped by the Millhouse we could replace that gaping hole with synth. Stop by after Boiling Pot and get yourself an earful.

The sun, the earth, the moon, the planets, and all of our schedules aligned in a coincidence no less than a miracle! On this glorious glorious day, we present to you the Already Dead Tapes & Records Family Reunion; all of the Midwest’s finest purveyors of experimental music in one venue. Here we have the performance slot time, the artist, their hometown, and a short description. Branch out, hear something new, then come see it live!

2pm – 2:30: Kyle Landstra – Kzoo
Ambient drone-esque noise. Minimalist, soft, organic and layered.

2:45 – 3:15: John Micah Rapp -Indianapolis, IN
A psychedelic traveler and dabbler of all musical genres, including noise, jam, world, reggae.

3:30 – 4:00: Hordes – Lansing, MI
Loud, doomy, hard-hitting gothic drone.

He might whip it out.

Easygoing experimental folk-rock.

6:30 – 7:00: Lasso – Kzoo
Rust-covered psychedelic country.

7:15 – 7:45: Problems That Fix Themselves – Chicago, IL
The label’s own neon-noise maker. This is the sound of robots falling in love.

10:00 – 10:30: Forget The Times – Kzoo
These guys suck. It’s not even music. What is this, I don’t even?

10:45 – 11:15: Solar Fox – Chicago, IL
Paisley psychedelic featuring Plastic Crimewave.

11:30 – 12: The Reptilian – Kzoo
Tappy screamy post hardcore Minus The Bear cover band. Could use another guitar player… better as a four-piece.

With all this eclectic awesomeness, it’ll be more than worth the $5 door charge. Music starts at 2 P.M. SHARP, and we’ll keep on jamming until midnight. First 50 people through the door get a limited edition Reunion cassette. Git sum.
