Chicago’s Mahjongg, who I had the pleasure of seeing tonight @ The Empty Bottle as “Waterbabies”, will be touring in January before they release their K debut, “Kontpab”, in February according to paste magazine.

Chad Keever, who recently supplied us with Halo Benders photos and video, was kind enough to send a follow-up. Chad attended “Push It To The Limit 2007″ in Kennewick Washington and was gracious enough to send us the photos and video.
Thanks again, Chad. I would also like to thank the flood of new contributors who recently joined our community photo gallery. It has grown to feature over 300 photos in less than four days, keep those contributions coming!

What a night!
My ears are still buzzing. Tonight was one of the most amazing nights of live music I’ve ever witnessed. Chicago native Anni Rossi played a very warm and upbeat opening set. If I had enough tape on hand, I would have taped her performance, but sadly I only had a tape and a half.
Bryce Panic played a very energetic, yet brief set. Old Time Relijun played an amazing, slam-dancing set, filled with the best soul-dance rock you’ve ever heard. Then comes Monotonix, who I’ve never seen live before. Boy, what a completely unique, inspiring, and awesome night it was! Monotonix finished their set when I was running out of tape, I only had 4 minutes left.
The night couldn’t have gone better. After speaking to both Monotonix and Arrington de Dionyso, I was able to introduce myself to Calvin Johnson before heading out. I complimented him on a job well done producing the latest Old Time Relijun record, as well as the recent performance in Chicago at South Union Arts in June. I asked Calvin if he had plans of coming back to the Chicago area, he said “sometime next spring”. I asked if he is working on new Halo Benders material and that I was sorry I missed the shows in Boise. To that, he responded that “you’ll see us again”.
I highly encourage all of you to watch all three sets. Highlights include Calvin Johnson dancing to Old Time Relijun’s “Cold Water”, Arrington de Dionyso going nuts for Bryce Panic, and Monotonix just completely going nuts, tearing the place apart. Enjoy.
