Wow. All I can say is that my Tuesday night was most likely better than yours, unless you were lucky enough to be at the Bluebird, as well. If so, you know how mind-blowingly awesome it was. If not, I’m about to tell you (and make you feel slightly sour about deciding to miss out).

From what I’ve heard, this past Total Trash Tuesday was absolutely insane and amazing. Full post from Kelsey up shortly. For now, here’s a teaser from Monotonix’s set courtesy Ted Somerville:

Parenthetical Girls couldn’t make it to Bloomington tonight. Kelsey and I were told at the Cinemat that their tour bus got into some trouble. Something to do with changing oil. We hope they are okay and get to come to Bloomington sometime!

Got to catch Grampall Jookbox and PWRFL Power, though. Very cool. Kelsey will be posting about it shortly.

Link to a free mp3 available from Grampall’s label, Asthmatic Kitty.
