It would appear that Duke's is the place to be for Holiday Concerts this year. Once again, Brandon Schlia's pay what you want label Steak and Cake Records will be hosting a Holiday Fundraiser Show to benefit the "Let The Band Play On" campaign, providing music instruments to local schools in need. After some Elmwood Village party poopers put the nix on Steak and Cake's Bidwell Indie 5000, it's refreshingly ironic to see that the "scummy party kids" in Bidwell Park are doing more for the community than the crotchety naysayers who shut them down. Help them fight the good fight by plopping your $5 down and treat yourself to an eclectic lineup of performers. Signo Vinces headlines the night, a delectable synth pop collaboration between Brandon and Leah Loefke of Love Scenes. Also on the bill are free form poetry outfit Bourbon & Coffee, art doin' hop hop virtuoso Jack Toft, bouncy electronic duo UVB-76, and a DJ set from Sound Shaman. It's Friday night and the mood is right, show starts at 10pm.

No that is not a type-o.  Sound Shaman is now Sound Sound Shaman.  In addition to the updated moniker, the alter ego of Rami Abu-Sitta recently played the closing set of local DYI label Steak & Cake Records' Bidwell Indie 5000 Festival a few weeks back, and just last week, put the finishing touches on a new EP, also released on Steak & Cake.  Titled the Eargasm, the three track EP finds the experimental chillwave artist continuing his chilling acoustic based, electronic infused soundscapes.  The gorgeous "Mystic Ghost Monkey" shows flashes of M83's synthy, cinematic feel.  Like all Steak & Cake releases, Eargasm is a pay what you like purchase and is available to listen and download right here.
