Music: You Gotta Be More Like Todd Rokita

(Heart) Rokita Band

We managed to capture a rare performance by the (Heart) Rokita Band, a three piece band from the Greater Lafayette area, at last night’s (October 4th, 2013) Vienna Open Mic.  This bootleg is a censored version due to a request of the employees.  Apparently there were children present.

Don’t worry. Rumor has it that a complete, uncensored, polished studio version will be released soon.

Lyrics:

You’re spectacular, but you gotta be frugal.
You’re beautiful, but you got to be honest.

You gotta be more like Todd Rokita!
Mother fucker don’t never do no wrong!

You always do what’s best for us.
3/5 of the 4th District got your back.

You gotta be more like Todd Rokita!
Mother fucker don’t never do no wrong!

Insidious people write insidious laws.
Don’t worry Congressman, we gerrymandered for the cause.

We should all be more like Todd Rokita!
Mother fucker don’t never do no wrong!

Noise: Doberman – At Large in the City Bootleg – Foam City 2013-06-29

FoamCity-Locals Only-Poster-2013-06-29

Doberman. Loud. Noisy. Theatric. Shin splitting gravel sounds emitted through various amplifiers. The show opened with some found sound from an interview and then broke way to a larger cacophony of sounds, supplied by its diverse instrumentation.

In this locals-only show Wasps Masks, The Unusual Few, and the Gestalts also took the stage throughout the night for a fun, high energy, and loud, knock’em around show at Foam City.

Listen to the At Large in the City Bootleg:

The Unusual Few - Bloody Bass Bootleg - Vons Record Store Day 2013-04-20

well if everything goes as planned the unusual few will have a drummer for record store day. we are hoping it all works out. be ready for some good tunes, good records and lots of great bands. its going to be a fun day for any music fans out there – The Unusual Few

Well it went. Vons Record Store Day. Jurassic Pop put on an awesome festival. Some more audio to follow. We were really blown away by one particular set by a new up and coming band, The Unusual Few.

Self-described as, a “Filth Pop” band from Lafayette, IN. Influenced by everything from 60s garage to 90s alternative, deriving mostly from old school punk rock, a great band for angsty teens. Raw energy. Loud performance. Bloody bass. Check out our bootleg of the spectacle.
