Joe Norkus (Embarassing Fruits) / Saint Solitude / Grandmother Longlegs / Brass Bed - 10PM $5 Joe Norkus - From his website: These are some songs I have recorded over the years at home, either on 4-tracks or on my computer. There will be a day when I can get my friends to play these with me in a room with 20+ people watching [Looks like that day has come, Joe!]. I also sing & play guitar in the band Embarrassing Fruits. Thanks for listening!

Saint Solitude - From Hawk Season: Think Thom Yorke's stunning bleakness, implying windblown shores and decaying cities, but view it with an optimistic eye and scatter references to Catholic dogma throughout. Really, really stunning.

Brass Bed - Brass Bed began as a simple bedroom recording project between singer/songwriter Christiaan Mader, drummer Peter DeHart, and guitarist Jonny Campos. In 2007, they entered the studio with nothing more than a handful of home demos and strange ideas, and ended up crafting Midnight Matinee: a warm, welcoming record featuring a diverse collection of catchy pop, toe-tapping rock and roll, and heartfelt crooners, garnished with the occasional horn arrangement and vibraphone accompaniment. After recruiting multi instrumentalist Jacques Doucet and pianist Andrew Toups, Brass Bed's expanded lineup transformed the elaborate studio compositions of Midnight Matinee into an explosive and unpredictable live show.
