indie at the abbey mix: Volume 2

The first month has passed and we have had some great shows. That said, it's time for volume 2 of my mix. For those of you who don't know, I am booking a weekly indie rock night for a club in Harrisburg, PA. The series is called indie @ the abbey and runs every Wednesday. There are 2 bands each week for a measly $2. Music starts at 9:30 and is over by midnight. Check out what we have booked for the next 4 weeks and come to a show if you can. If you missed it, the first mix is available here. I'll be back next month with another volume.

The Last Two Week's Releases, A Mix

The last two weeks worth of new releases seem to have been more for the niche market. There have been very few big names. However, a few gems snuck in there. I will let you listen to some songs off of the new albums and sort out which are worth buying. Things pick up again next week, so I'll see you then. Enjoy!

August 28th:
Aesop Rock - Citronella
Jamie T - So Lonely Is The Ballad
New Young Pony Club - The Bomb
Northern State - Better Already
Pash - The Best Gun
Super Furry Animals - Run Away
Warm In The Wake - She'd Never Seen It
VHS or Beta - Can't Believe A Single Word

You can find the full list for the two dates here and here.

Tonight in DC

OK, so the big ticket show in DC tonight, is Neko Case at 9:30 Club. Well guess what? It's sold out. If you don't have tickets, you are in luck. The Red and The Black also has a great show. DC locals The Beanstalk Library are heading a wonderful bill. Hershey, PA's The April Skies will be joining them with their brand of Europop. Decatur, GA's Warm in the Wake open the very strong evening. So if you are looking for something new, I highly recommend checking this one out.

The Beanstalk Library - Elephantitus
The April Skies - My Love Is In This House
Warm in the Wake - Golden Inhibition Destroyer
Neko Case - Hold On, Hold On
