I'm on the Cafe` 9 mailing list, this week's show announcements included this description of the upcoming show:

Oct. 23
Saturday 9pm

The Down-Fi (feat. Craig Willis Bell); w/ Whiskey Tango Foxtrot; The Manchurians • Look no further than Craig Willis Bell. The man is '70s punk personified. Every artist who wishes to understand old school punk should familiarize themselves with and study Craig Willis Bell – original member of Rocket From The Tombs, Saucers, The Plan, The Bell System, and more. $6

It seemed to me to be a little familiar.
IndepenDisc featured America Now by The Down-Fi in Nov. '09.
So I went and reread my review, Here's what I (G.Gone) had to say about it then...

~snip~...The Down-Fi is Old School Punk.

Look no further than Craig Willis Bell. The man is 70s Punk personified. Every Artist who wishes to understand Old School Punk should familiarize themselves with and study Craig Willis Bell – I suggest here, that you Google him, as well as Rocket From The Tombs (sub categories: Pere Ubu and The Dead Boys), Saucers, The Plan, The Bell System, and possibly others that this reviewer is unaware of...~snip~

I didn't know whether to be flattered that they used my words, or upset that I wasn't credited.
I'm still not sure.
What do you think?

"Song of the Week" ~ Moons of Jupiter by: Sky Picnic

After Featuring Synesthesia in Apr. of '09, we invited NYC's "PsychProg" band, Sky Picnic, to play the IndepenDisc 11th B'day Bash at Cafe` 9 that year. It was a sort of homecoming for Shelton native Chris Sherman, so he & the band we're "psyched" to play. They melted our faces. We're going to see them when they return to CT this Sat. 10-16 at Two Boots in Bridgeport were they will be appearing with: Like Trains & Taxis.

Want to know more about them? Check the links, tune into Radio IndepenDisc, read this blog and of course listen to the:

"Song of the Week" for 10-13-10: Moons of Jupiter* by: Sky Picnic off the CD: Synesthesia.

Featured on IndepenDisc in Apr. of '09 - Here's what I (G.Gone) had to say about it then...

~snip~ Here Sky Picnic sends us on a universal journey outside the mind and the body – the spirit is being lifted into outer and inner space. All the echo, reverb, Wah Wahs, and whatever else they’ve got going on here is just mind blowing. Dig the drums, subtle, laying back, playing an important role as the guitar’s high notes are picked about and carried by a droning and thumping bass to create a song that parallels The Who’s “Sparks” from Tommy. So trippy, so cool. This song accentuates it’s Moons of Jupiter title perfectly as it gives off stratospheric sensations that tingle the mind and soul.~snip~ Read the entire review HERE.
