If you felt a low rumble last night on the south side of Bloomington last night, don't worry: it wasn't an earthquake, it was just the effect of all the rocking happening at Russian Recording.
Tuesday night's sold-out show at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre was unlike any other show that I've attended in the past.
Sorry for the last-minute notice, but if you haven't heard already: Pink Mountaintops will bringing some glorious noise to Bloomington's own Russian Recording tonight! The show starts at 9 p.m.
Sadly, it's been quite a while since I've been to a show. The last time I went to a concert was at Bear's during finals week, and it came to no surprise that concert attendees were few and far between. The atmosphere at Bear's on Tuesday however, was entirely different.
Check it! If you dig what you heard, you should go see them in July.
