SHOW PREVIEW: Asumaya, Paperhaus, Lion’s Mouth

Posted on September 29, 2013 by John Praw Kruse

Monday, September 30th @ 9:00PM
The Dragonfly Lounge // $5 Cover // 21+

Paperhaus (WASHINGTON, DC)
Asumaya (MADISON)
Lion’s Mouth (MADISON)

Paperhaus is a psychedelic alt-blues band from Washington, DC. “Lo Hi Lo” (embedded above) was recorded at DC’s legendary Inner Ear Studios with producer Ivan Basuri, and reflects the more pop side of Paperhaus’ psychedelic music. A full length LP of more blues and funk influenced psychedelic music is in the works and will be released in 2014. [excerpt from band press]

Madison’s own Asumaya creates percussive loop-based tunes that draw equally from international and math rock music. His time in Africa is always present, never going so far as to become a gimmick. Asumaya’s Luke Bassuener also lends his rhythmic talents to the band CONTROL.

Listen to Lion’s Mouth here.

Last, but not least, is alt/indie-pop act Lion’s Mouth. This Madison two-piece is made up of Sara W. and Chelsea Z. While I’ve yet to see them live, you can listen to them via their ReverbNation link above. The band describes themselves as having “the sensibilities of pop, the relentless energy of punk, and the heart and soul of folk.”

Announcing Lost City Music Festival 2013: August 8th-11th

Posted on July 9, 2013 by John Praw Kruse

Mine All Mine Records is proud to announce the second annual Lost City Music Festival in Madison, Wisconsin. The festival will be held from August 8th to 11th with shows at the High Noon Saloon, the Dragonfly Lounge and Bright Red Studios (+ one announced secret venue).

After the success of last year’s festival, the crew behind the Lost City Music Festival decided to aim for focus with the second iteration. This year, the Lost City crew has put a heavier emphasis on local acts and tightly paired billings. The Lost City Music Festival 2013 will be an even better experience than before.

The Lost City Music Festival was founded in part to fill a cultural gap the crew perceived. That is, a low-cost music event featuring a range of styles and a focus on local and regional artists. The crew has continued to listen to the community’s concerns and needs in regards to last year’s music festival and the scene(s) as a whole.

In keeping with that tradition, all performers at the Lost City Music Festival 2013 will be fairly compensated for their contributions. A portion of all sales will continue to benefit local music charities, and artists will be given the option to donate to these charities at their own discretion.

Partial lineup (in alphabetical order):

Awkward Terrible
Bell Monks
Building on Buildings
Casey Foubert
Coyotes
DB Pedersen
Dog Hotel
El-Tin Fun
Filter Free Radio
Gregory Taylor
John Praw
Kitty Rhombus
Landmarks
Lovely Socialite Mrs. Thomas W. Phipps
Mutts
Myles Coyne & the Rusty Nickel Band
Nude Human
Softly, Dear
Temple
The North American Council for a Moonless Tomorrow
Tom Teslik & the Night Owls

Look for a full schedule, pricing information and additional details later this week.

We hope you’ll join us August 8th-11th for the Lost City Music Festival 2013! In the mean time, join us on Facebook or Twitter.

PREVIEW: Boys, A Haircut, Soul Low, Dakotas

Posted on June 8, 2013 by John Praw Kruse

This is how you spend a Sunday night in Madison. Three excellent and fun local acts with a pleasantly matched traveling act. Join us tomorrow night at the Dragonfly Lounge for another great set of bands. Read on below for press quotes and streaming previews for each band.

BOYS, A Haircut, Soul Low, Dakotas
$5 Cover, 21+, Music at 9:00PM.
The Dragonfly Lounge
401 E. Washington

BOYS (MISSOULA)
“Moody fuzzed-out guitars and deceptively simple arrangements sound as if they were pulled from an AM radio during a late night try at coitus.” – Missoula Independent

A Haircut (MADISON)
“In the band A Haircut, Lutz yelps over fat, fuzzy guitar tones and Trester’s simple drum patterns. Titles on their eight-song demo include “Lizard Skin” and “A Native Scalping.” Before forming A Haircut, Lutz played in a Milwaukee folk duo called Audrea, which once covered Misfits’ “Last Caress,” singing about a baby’s death over cheerful tambourine and harmonica. Trester’s drum kit includes parts salvaged from the trash.” – Scott Gordon, The Daily Page

Soul Low (MADISON/MILWAUKEE)
“Soul Low is a three piece Indie/Rock band made up of Sam Gehrke, Jake Balistrieri & Charlie Celenaza. Based out of Milwaukee, the group seemed to come to a complete halt last year when Gehrke took of for school. But after a year of little activity Soul Low are making an exciting comeback with a slew of recent shows, new songs, & eleven day tour to the east coast.” – Mouse Corn, FunTV

Dakotas (MADISON)
“Dakotas represented the first Madison band of brothers (literally, two of the members are brothers) to take the stage, and they played a blaring set of American rock highly reminiscent of The Strokes circa Room on Fire.” – Jaime Brackeen, MadisonNightOut

PREVIEW: Lost City Winter Series Finale!

Posted on March 19, 2013 by John Praw Kruse

Can you believe it? Today, March 19th, is the last day of winter! Maybe it doesn’t feel like it, but I think it’s okay to celebrate the coming of the Vernal Equinox anyway.

Tonight, we’ll do exactly that in our 9th and final Lost City Winter Series show. While I love all of the artists that have come through this wonderful winter shindig, I am admittedly more excited about this show than any other so far. We’ve got Madison-favorites Man Mantis and Double Ewes, as well as Paul A. Benson (of Mt. Eerie, LAKE, etc) performing as Ever Ending Kicks.

Read on below for a taste of what’s to come. And thanks for sticking with us!

$5 Cover, 21+, Music at 9:00PM.
