   About The Civil Tones
The Civil Tones embrace the organ and guitar sounds of southern soul combos, such as Booker T. and the M.G.'s. Memphis, not Malibu, is their Mecca. Not content, however, to merely reproduce the sounds of one genre, The Civil Tones deconstruct and recombine the elements of almost every major form of instrumental music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's (Surf, soul, jazz, lounge, film soundtrack) to create their own unique style of trippy vintage dance music. Discography:
Rotisserie Twist, 1996 | Soul Bucket, 1998 | Vodka and Peroxide, 2003

The Aviation Club (featuring Jon Ferber, of the Orbits, and Mike Burgett) will re-unite and play at Off Broadway on Friday, January 4, 2008.

The Aviation Club will perform songs that haven't been heard for 20 years.

Other guests will be announced.

The evening will celebrate the first anniversary of the archival web site www.JetLagMag.net.

The site celebrates the earliest days of the St. Louis punk and wave scene with scans of each issue of that seminal fanzine, Jet Lag Magazine.

Proceeds from the event will help to A Thousand Books send books to Peace Corps teachers.
