Today, we got the chance to speak with Marc Claggett of Madison band The Cemetery Improvement Society. Catch The Cemetery Improvement Society Saturday, July 7th @ the Project Lodge.

Click here to check out what Jalopnik has to say about Cribshitter’s new video for Mint Car.
While it’s an honor to see it there, and the video is getting thousands of views, the comment sections of Jalopnik and YouTube are where the real fun begins. People don’t really seem to get what Cribshitter is about. It’s not surprising, but it’s still interesting.
Mine All Mine Records is proud to introduce Troy Schafer for the first time on this label. Supreme Happiness Forever – originally self-released as a digital-only album – is what Troy Schafer does best. It combines his talent for creating unique and compelling experimental violin works with his ability to create sweeping electronic zone-out landscapes. Troy Schafer is an eclectic if sometimes elusive artist and musician, and we are honored to release Supreme Happiness Forever.

Redolent Spires is a full-length album in two parts by Madison-based experimental improvisors, composers and brothers, AJ and BC Grimm. The first part is a six-movement suite for cello and guitar, composed and performed as a live score for THE LIVES OF CUT FLOWERS, which premiered May 2011 at the Indy Fringe Theater by paperStrangers Dance/Theater co. The second part is comprised of nine improvisations in four different tunings for guitar and guqin.
Editor’s Note:
The album is being released tonight at Dobra in Madison, WI. Click here for more information.
The description above is just a brief look at what to expect. Check out the full description on the bandcamp download page, including more information on tunings, modes, and the guqin, an ancient seven-stringed bridgeless zither.
Minneapolis’ Anonymous Choir is relatively new. Lead by Dark Dark Dark‘s Nona Invie, the group performs entrancing and melodic pieces, with Invie’s voice ringing out over a welcoming female chorus. You can stream some of Anonymous Choir’s work above (make sure to snag one of the limited edition cassettes there), and make sure to check out Anonymous Choir at the Olin Park Pavilion (Madison, WI) with Watercourse Quartet and Elephant Micah. Read on below for our brief interview with Nina Invie, and find out exactly what Anonymous Choir is about.
Yes! Mine All Mine Records (with the help of Murfie, the friendly music store) is hosting a music festival. Holy cow.
We can’t hide it anymore!
Over 160 bands have been invited, and of those, we’re whittling the list down to ~40 bands to perform from July 5th to July 8th in nine epic showcases! The process isn’t easy, that’s for sure. The caliber of bands interested in playing our little festival was beyond our wildest dreams, and we are grateful to be in this position. Of the bands invited, over 75 confirmed availability for the festival. It’s interesting to see that we would need literally 20 shows to contain all the awesome bands that want to play!
After a few short months of planning and networking, it’s clear that the Lost City Music Festival fills a definite cultural void in the area. There just isn’t anything like it in Madison anymore, so we’re bringing it back! Check back soon for confirmed venues and bands.
