   About THIS BRIGHT APOCALYPSE
A beast with three throats and twelve limbs, This Bright Apocalypse pillages the planet and regurgitates its sounds in an indie-world-math-dub-folk-prog fusion. DRUMS + Drums + drums + BASS + 6 strings resonating in a box + 3 VOICES. In a past life the beast also carried two axes, a trumpet and a piano... (A JUSTIN and a DAN for many years. An ADAM and another JUSTIN for a little while.)... Maybe again in another life when we are all cats.

ok, i know madison people do not like to leave their suburban homes but this is a cool show. Worrier is one of my favorite new bands and is made up of members of 2 of my other favorites, Forsake Ya To The Snakes and Free Diamonds. Zola Jesus is a cool weirder experimental group and Diablo Blanco is a dirty garage rock style band from Chicago. pretty good line-up i would say. try leaving your house thursday and try to make it to the corral room. together we can try to bring fun to madison.

Here's a little story for ya from Hollywood:

Steven Spielberg has donated $1 million to the Ocean's Thirteen African charity push after learning stars like George Clooney and Brad Pitt had raised $8 million at the Cannes Film Festival. The cast of the movie staged a fundraising evening for their Save Darfur campaign at the festival at the weekend - and raised a fortune. Ocean's Thirteen producer Jerry Weintraub reveals, "We've raised $9.2 million. We had $8 million and then Spielberg sent in another $1 million. Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle have been all over to the Sudan and we're just trying to shine a light on what's happening over there." Fundraisers are being planned to accompany every upcoming Ocean's Thirteen premiere.
