So we’ve been really getting into this new music site we recently discovered. TheSixtyOne.com. From what we’ve found out, this is an online RPG but instead of fighting monsters or fighting creatures (like Pokemon!) and all that stuff, you listen to some really good music. Most of the music on the site seems to be emerging/indie bands but there is some more popular stuff on there also. We posted a few of our songs up there and over the course of the past week we have gotten a lot of positive feedback!

The way it works is simple. Once you’ve created a profile, you have access to a bunch of genres each with hundreds of songs from original artists (some covers too!)  You are alerted to some quests which consist of listening to a certain number of new songs, marking songs as your favorites, listening to a favorite over and over again etc. The more quests you complete the more experience you gain and the higher your level gets and the more credibility you earn as a music enthusiast! Basically its like if Pandora mated with World of Warcraft.

We’ve found that it’s really good for bands because it’s like the social aspect of Myspace but for people interested in discovering new music (as opposed to posting obnoxious pictures of themselves and spamming their friends with aps) We’ve found new favorites such as Philip Ferrari, King Tut, Go Periscope, FM BELFAST which gets our blood pumpin to dance all night!

Check out this site ASAP if you want to shake your booty while hearing some great new music at the same time! Don’t forget to give us a heart or two!

We played a show last night at the Elbo Room in Chicago and we were completely unprepared for such an awesome show! Ok, granted, it was a MONDAY night… and its colder than freakin’ ice block here in the windy city…

The venue itself was absolutely disorientating… but carried our music with a beefy sound system and a sweeeeet vibe. It was fun. The bands playing “with” us were the following: Julia Lucafo, an acoustic artist who had some major pipes, Flatlander, a psuedo-European style rock group with a sweet sound, and Sanguine Means, a three-piece post-hardcore band with harmonies that could make a baby smile… then cry, happily, to sleep.

Now, I know, you might ask… what the heck is an ELECTRONIC-INDIE band playing with a POST-HARDCORE band for? And there is no answer for you… only that it was totally fun… and somehow fit together quite nicely. Odd, I know…
Overall, the show was totally sweet and if you WERE one of the people who came out to support local music and dance with some glow sticks and drink some drinks… God bless you, child, because it was a flippin’ blast. If you WEREN’T there, and you did NONE of the previously listed, then make sure you come to our NEXT show… cause it will be twice as cool and three times as much fun… I’m sure of it.
