Dayton’s music is rooted in love
A terrific run down of Dayton area shows this weekend and more!
Jetty Bones in Studio
Jetty Bones joined us this past Tuesday to play new music from their EP ‘Crucial States’. If you get an opportunity you should go and see them! They were such fun guests on the show that we hope to have them back again! You can find them all over social media on Twitter, Facebook and on Instagram.
Cool Video Alert!
Our friends at The Boxcar Suite have a video from their Life on the Limb EP and you should watch it!
The slow death of music venues in cities | Cities | The Guardian
Across western cities, small music venues are going out of business. Small music clubs aren’t just incubators for bands – they play a vital role in a healthy urban ecosystem. What will happen if they all get turned into flats?Music in your city: share photos and stories Source: The slow death of music venues in […]

Babbling April’s “Farewell Dayton” Party
We learned a few weeks ago that Dave and Vivienne of Babbling April will be leaving the Gem City for new jobs in Washington DC at the end of March. And while we informed them that this has to be some kind of mistake. They assure us that they have to take this opportunity. So, Dayton got together last night it was time for one last hurrah for Babbling April as-we-know-them, featuring some of Dayton’s finest bands.
We saw It’s People, of course Babbling April played a terrific set, the always energetic Speaking Suns and the fantastic Manray!
The farewell party was held in the Fire Blocks District of downtown Dayton where we all hope to develop a DIY space for bands to play as well as other cultural events in the city –spoken word performance, alternative lectures, rallies and more. There was no cover charge, but donations were accepted to raise money for the bands that so graciously gave up their time to play for all of us!
Babbling April will return. But until then here is a clip of Babbling April doing a Pixies cover! So fun!
Life on The Limb
One of our favorite bands is sharing new music with us! The Boxcar Suite will release their latest Life on the Limb EP in a mere matter of days… April 1! The EP follows 2014’s excellent Across the Vast & Deep in preparation for the group’s next full length record. The new EP features four new tracks produced by Tim Pritchard at Suite Basement Studio.
The band will celebrate the EP release with a show at The Trolley Stop on Saturday, April 1st with special guests Columbus, Oh based The Nick Frye Band. You need to make plans now!
“This release features material that we wrote while we were working on Across the Vast & Deep” says Pritchard. “We had a lot of material going in to that project and while we chose the recordings that best fit that album, there were some songs that we felt were just as strong but needed to be recut. After the release of that album we hit the studio to start recording the next full length and re-tracked some of this material as well. The cuts we liked the best make up this EP. They’re not just extra material, but some of our favorite tracks we’ve come up with.”
The Boxcar Suite spent 2015-2016 playing shows around the Midwest and recording material for another full length to be completed this year. And we could not be happier about this at YTAA! Expect to hear the new songs this coming Tuesday on the show and soon we will have a special surprise to share with all of you.
