Midnight Spin w/ Jason Connelly.  More artists TBA Doors at 8pm Show at 9pm$7 in advance $10 at the door .::Midnight Spin::. http://www.midnightspin.comFourteen months ago, in a cheap hotel room on the outskirts of Bangkok, drummer Danny Scull emailed a video of himself, singing, to his oldest friend and band mate Michael Corbett. The sound quality was terrible, and Scull had been awake for almost three days. For some musicians, inspiration can strike at any time, and this is exactly how Midnight Spin operates. Corbett crammed the lyrics, sped off to a Manhattan recording studio, and laid down the blistering final vocal track for the band’s debut album Don’t Let Me Sleep, due out January 15. Not that this is anything new for them. The two friends have been writing songs, breaking amps, and generally forging a musical bond since their days in middle school having grown up together on the north side of Washington DC. However, it wasn’t until 2008 when they washed up on the shores of Brooklyn that Midnight Spin began to take shape. Originally conceived as an alt-rock four-piece, fate and chaos led them to enlist fellow NYC newcomers Ben Waters on bass and guitarist Jim Terranova. Before long, keyboardist Jeremy Cohen was lured from Boston, and the band has been proving it out on the road ever since. By 2012, Midnight Spin was ready to heed the call of the recording studio and answer with a few Corbett banshee screams of their own. Produced by Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend, the Strokes, Weezer), Don’t Let Me Sleep is the result of endless bleary-eyed practice sessions and late night stumbling across the East River that has inspired and yielded a full-length album worthy of its name. From Cohen spacing the record with wurlitzers and organs to Scull bashing it out like the Grohl of yore, the twelve-song LP combines 90s alternative and punk energy with modern indie elements from their Brooklyn home. As Consequence of Sound writes, “Imagine if Foo Fighters somehow grew up as fans of early the Killers with a little of the Strokes tossed in for flavor.” It’s an album that just can’t stop chasing the night. Don't Let Me Sleep scrapes together everything you once loved about rock music and makes it hum again like a dirty, little noise-box from the future. Catch the band on tour in a city near you. .::Skyview::.http://www.reverbnation.com/SkyviewMusicIt's been a whirlwind couple years for Skyview, the Florida-based band whose earnest and melodic songs have been striking a huge chord with audiences. Formed in 2008 by Evan Smith (lead vocals, guitar), Skyview is a Rock/Dance/Indie band out of Tallahassee, FL with a musical experience entitled "The Sound of Flight", also the title of their first album recently recorded at Full Sail University. Skyview is a positive force with a sound that portrays an "Epic Rock" vibe that belongs in stadiums and coliseums worldwide. With the release of their debut album coming in July, Evan says, "the music and message will have you feeling like you're in an airplane heroically soaring above life's difficult circumstances". The song that most effectively portrays this feeling is Skyview's most recent single, "Light to Follow", so be sure to check out the new music video for that song. Skyview is known for it's live shows consisting of anthemic melodies, inspirational sound, and dramatic intros that build to waves of intricate layered loops. Think atmospheric bands like "Explosions in the Sky" and "Angels and Airwaves" meet "Coldplay" and "The Fray". Skyview also covers a wide range of music at their shows, you will hear classic rock, alternative rock, dance, pop, and today's most popular music. But the songs that will leave you breathless at the end of the night will undoubtedly be Skyview's originals, because they are what make Skyview so unique. General Admission 8.38
