We recently started a Vimeo channel which will contain all things K on Vimeo. Please subscribe if you are a Vimeo member. Although YouTube will remain our primary venue for videos (particuarly full-length shows), our Vimeo channel will always debut our Dub Narcotic Video Singles series before they air on YouTube, as the videos on Vimeo are of higher quality.

The Dub Narcotic Video Singles series are exerpts and highlights of previously uploaded full-length shows from our YouTube channel. Below is a list of the first batch of video singles.

1) The Blow - “The Long List of Girls”
2) Saturday Looks Good To Me - “Money In the Afterlife”
3) Old Time Relijun - “Cold Water”
4) Karl Blau - “Mockingbird Diet”

The videos in the singles series will appear on YouTube a week or so after we upload them to Vimeo.

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.
