Nice Shadowy Band Photo Dudes
Last year it seemed that every time there was nothing to do on campus someone would say, “Santa show tonight!” But these shows weren’t just agenda fillers, they were the kind of shows that really made your night. Good music, good people, and the occasional beer chug were almost guaranteed, if not staples.
The only band unanimously voted onto the Green Street Records compilation last year, Santa have shown their ability to attract every crowd - the bar rock bros, the capricious show-goers, and even a few haughty hipsters (coincidentally the same demographics that made up GSR).
Now before all of you “we were there when this started” folks get up in arms, when I say better than ever I do not mean that Santa was not good before, it’s just that the additions of Steve Plock on drums and Tommy Trafton on keys can only be an improvement.
Listen to the new tracks on their Myspace. I dig “Bottles and Bracelets”. Badass guys.
Here is an announcement from the Band:
We have exciting new music that you should really check out. It’s from our newly minted and printed EP, entitled My Bones, which will be available for purchase March 7, 2008. Spread the good word around, and let us know.
My Bones EP out March 7
We’ll be celebrating the release with a lovely concert the night of March 7 at The Canopy Club in Urbana, IL. We’ll be sharing the stage with our friends The Rikters and The Butterfly Assassins.
You guys could use some World’s First Flying Machine on that bill…
Santa is now your March 7 Agenda filler. I’m sure they will be your night maker too.
