From www.emptybottle.com :
The documentary Vannin' is one of our favorite things we've discovered in the past few months. We decided to do a screening of the event inside the Empty Bottle, with a pre-party gathering beforehand. Watch the trailer for Vannin' and fall in love.
The event will be both in-doors and outdoors. We will close off Cortez from 5pm-8pm. Admission to the outdoor event is free. We will have 6 custom vans on-site, DJs playing records, beers available for purchase from Shiner, and sausages from Bite Café. Doors for the interior portion of the event open at 8pm and admission is $8. Performing bands are from the soundtrack and a screening will all take place inside.
Heavy TimesAs Chicago’s most lethal band of the fast-rising noise pop neurotics, Heavy Times have carved out a uniquely hypnotic sound that’s hard to pin down but easy to fall for, and fast. Crushingly melodic vocal hooks cleverly interwoven with static-filled harmonies no one’s prepared for, all executed with a snarling blow to the pleasure receptors. Their massive, almost cavernous grungy pop will escape most realistic comparisons, but as the scuzz starts to feverishly build and disseminate on each successive track of ‘Jacker,’ it becomes quickly evident that the songs that frame these livid bursts of punk energy are always worth waiting for. Once these mammoth choruses kick into gear, and just as the guitars explode, it’s an endorphin-rushing experience that stands all hairs on end, and will knock you back unexpectedly. This is a band that carefully divides its power, bringing the hammer down right where it needs to hit, and locking into a euphonic wave of impossibly catchy, spidery guitar lines that soar and dive with the best of ‘em so well, you’ll swear you’ve heard these chords somewhere before. What’s more is that Heavy Times have just as much of a hand on blasting your eardrums into oblivion as they do on their signature mega-melodic wall of vocals, washing like a golden glaze over each track with an enchantingly harmonic howl, that clearly defines their hyperactive Wipers-soaked sound to the core. -todd killings
Red Desert
Veteran rockers Red Desert bring a unique and blended creation to the world of metal, combining heavy, deliberate elements of doom, the down tuned distortional fuzz of stoner rock, a unique and haunting vocal delivery, and, above all, a master craftsman's grasp of song structure with deep, twisted, metal tapestries interwoven around soul stirring melodies of exceptional insight and dispatch. This foursome from Minnesota come at you with abiding passion, an unshakable confidence, and a fierce and joyous delivery. Steeped in the exalted, dark arts of the intense rock of decades past, the brilliance of high desert music, and the heart of an explosive new breed of rockers, Red Desert have previously crafted 2 exceptional albums and will soon drop a third. The accolades for the 2012 release of "Damned by Fate" were magnanimous and overwhelmingly positive, placing the album on several Top 10 lists for the year, a well deserved and obvious placing. Prepare for a furious, full throttle ride as Red Desert come at you full force, no holds barred, no excuses, in a full out hard rock onslaught.
PRESS: "Damned by Fate is a 9 song and 47 minute blast of top-notch Stoner Metal riffage. You never get bored. You just savor every second and minute of this superb album. Just press play and listen to it. Over and Over again."
- Steve Howe, The Sludgelord Blogspot (Aug 08, 2012)
"If you want some hard hitting and heavy as all fuck riff rock, you’ve come to the right place. This album really grooves. It gets your head and body moving, this is an easy album to get sucked into it’s infectious beat."
- Daily Bandcamp Album, The Soda Shop (Aug 26, 2012)
