Zorch is coming to town, playing with High In One Eye
Hello Internet. It has been a while. How are ya? How’s the family?
For those who eagerly await my posts every week (and I KNOW that there are so many…), I am sorry that I haven’t kept up with this blog so far this summer. Now that I have gotten over the laziness that the beginning of summer always brings, I will be getting back to posting regularly.
The summer has been somewhat slow for SWAK, High In One Eye, and Rabbit.
Rabbit, for one, is not playing any shows this summer (unless a really special one comes along). Instead, they are focusing on getting tighter as a band. They want to get used to each other’s playing a little more, and then they will start writing new music. Don’t worry, new music is on the way.
High In One Eye is still writing material for their first full length album, which they hope to release by the end of summer (or at least the end of the year). They are also playing a show this Sunday, May 30th, at Banks Street Bar with ZORCH.
If you haven’t checked out Zorch yet, you really need to. They are another duo (so many these days), composed of drums and keyboard. Quite often, the keyboardist will play on two different keyboards simultaneously. The drummer is always careful not to overplay, but occasionally he does some pretty ridiculous, but well-fitting fills. They pack a lot of energy into their music, and they play so passionately that this energy is effectively transmitted to their audience.

Banks Street Bar (FREE)
Finally, Smiley With A Knife recently received their first batch of T-SHIRTS. They are pretty cool looking. The design follows a “clock” theme, which will be the same theme for their upcoming full length CD. To buy these T-shirts, come out to a show or check out their merch store. Their next show in New Orleans is June 5th at Maison Musique with High In One Eye, A Living Soundtrack, and We The Granada. They are also planning a tour of the Eastern half of the U.S. for the end of July.
That is all for today. In a few days, I will write about a band from Germany called schnAAk, as well as their badass record label, Discorporate Records.
