Poetry at 8; Music at 9
This Monday, two New York artists, TOLD SLANT and FLORIST will be touring into Kalamazoo to perform in the new(er) house venue, the ithinkyercute house.
This show will incorporate elements of folk, coupled with spacious and intense ambient influence. All the artists are guaranteed to make you feel some feel.
TOLD SLANT is a three piece indie folk outfit headed by distinct-sounding singer Felix Walworth. Though the songs our simple, they have a compelling strong honest feel that is hard to ignore. Plus, their live presentation is unconventional, as can be seen here:
Told Slant is on tour with FLORIST who play spacey, off-kilter folk music. The sort of music that is perfect for fall, and for sitting in a home self-reflecting with all your friends.
Supporting these traveling folks will be FIONA DICKINSON, a local favorite as far as intense folk songwriting, and a true powerhouse when it comes to an honestly compelling live presence. DEEP WATERS will also be performing richly complex and thoughtful compositions. Sometimes performed with guitars, sometimes keyboards – just going to have to show up to find out!
This show is starting at 8:00, Please bring money for the traveling acts. Respect the house, the bands, yourself.
ithinkyercute is a fairly new location in town, so if you need the address email ditkalamazoo@gmail.com.
From the ethereal to the angular, the Kalamazoo Institute o’ Farts will be covering many forms of folk and folk influenced tonight.
DEAR RABBIT – jangly gypsy vaudvillian onslaught traveling from Colorado.
LINCOLN COUNTY WAR – local folk punk duo, meshing gruff and distraught with beautiful violin.
DEEP WATERS – a band of folk players making dreamy spacy and (potentially) keyboardy sounds.
ARMS AKIMBO – a one man band of dwelling on the past while simultaneously getting up and moving on.
This show is at 8:00 PM. Bring a couple of dollars for the touring folks.
For the address, email ditkalamazoo@gmail.com
Oh, Dear Rabbit, not deer rabbit. Sorry, Jackalope!
