Update on Me & Mountains’ KickStarter Project

January 13, 2012 your tuesday afternoon alternative Dayton, New Music, Uncategorized Me & Mountains

The outpouring of support for Me & Mountains‘s effort to release Feral on Vinyl is gaining traction! And it has only been a few days!

The band has passed the $1,000 point and are very close to the goal of $1,700! Keep the support coming oh kind and generous music folks!

Again, what can you do? You, fan of all around great music can contribute to the KickStarter page for Me & Mountains and support their effort to release their new album, Feral on vinyl. You can for an incredibly small effort still support great local music!

You can listen and enjoy fantastic music and be part of the collective experience!

Kickstart Me & Mountains’ Feral

January 13, 2012February 2, 2013 your tuesday afternoon alternative Dayton, New Music Dayton Music, Kickstarter, Me & Mountains, Motel Beds, Oh Condor, The Rebel Set

Dayton’s own Me & Mountains are not only a great live band that is part of an exploding local music scene but they are also rather savvy business guys. Normally the path to releasing music is wrought with many logistical challenges, delays, and processing problems. And while we are not talking the length of time that it took one William Bruce Bailey to release a record they titled ‘Chinese Democracy’, it can be a daunting task for bands to get music out to fans quickly and easily.

Thankfully, there are newer and more direct models that musicians with some acumen — and social media skills — can use to do that one most sacred of tasks in all of musicdom: getting the music to the people! But of course, we can talk about a band or artist playing live that is one way to share music, and for me, that remains a critical part of the experience. So, while playing out continues to be as important today as it ever has been, we all want to continue to encourage groups like Me & Mountains, Motel Beds, The Rebel Set, Smug Brothers, Oh Condor, and so many other area musicians to play in the Gem City more often! Yet it is still important to those who have heard the music to share it with others! And we need CDs, tapes, record albums, and MP3s in order to share the sweet nectar of musical satisfaction.

So, the gentlemen behind Me & Mountains are among those bands trailblazing new forms of fan-supported musical releases. And in the end, it is not dependent upon some distant and disconnected record label execs wondering whether a band or song is “the right sound”, it is the initiative of the bands themselves with the support of music lovers that should lead the way for new releases. And this model can lead to some great music ringing in the ears of fans sooner rather than later. Add to this the successful examples of several local groups, such as The Motel Beds and Smug Brothers using different forms of distribution and you have a recipe for musical happiness all around.

So, what can you do? You, dear music fan, can visit the KickStarter page for Me & Mountains and support their effort to release their new album, Feral on vinyl. You can for an incredibly small effort, support great local music and stick it to the corporate model.

You can support great local music and get a copy of the Me & Mountains new album, Feral on vinyl. You can listen and enjoy fantastic music without paying huge sums of money to someone who does not even know where Dayton, Ohio is located; much less care about the quality or integrity of the music.

It doesn’t get much better than that.

One Reason

December 12, 2011 your tuesday afternoon alternative Dayton, Live Live Live, New Music

Motel Beds - Tango Boys Cover — The energetic 'Beds captured on the Tango Boys cover

One reason that Dayton has a thriving music scene is illustrated in the fact that in one weekend we have the vinyl release of Tango Boys by The Motel Beds at The Canal Street Tavern this past Friday. The ‘Beds played a blistering set with the Buffalo Killers and Chocolate Horse. And in the same night you have Vanity Theft, Okay Lindon, and Good Sir Con Artist playing Blind Bob’s. If that was not enough, you then have Bonneville releasing their new CD, Amy’s House with a show again at Canal Street on Saturday. What we have here is an embarrassment of musical riches. Dayton has a vibrant music scene indeed! And we have not even begun to talk about The Rebel Set, Guided By Voices and Me & Mountains who are both working on new music for your listening pleasure in 2012!

Bonneville Amy's House cover... where the record was recorded! Sort of.

Bonneville CD Release Show

December 1, 2011December 8, 2011 your tuesday afternoon alternative Live Live Live, New Music, Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative Bonneville

Bonneville CD Release show!

Columbus-Dayton music guys, Bonneville, are releasing their brand new CD, Amy’s House, this Saturday with a big ol’ musicalpaloosa spectacular at The Canal Street Tavern! We have been playing Go Getter for about a month on Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative — but there are several great tracks to enjoy off of this new CD! We highly recommend that you get yourself a copy of this album. The title track refers to the owner of the house where the record was recorded over four weekends.

You will enjoy the trademark tight harmonies of this young but polished local band!

They are touring right now — after this show they are playing in the Northeast — so check this blog for more information! Of course, Bonneville also has a fine Facebook page that you might seek out for info!

And, if you do not have a cool Bonneville T-shirt, you can pick up at the show!
