...the prodigious local label Squids Eye Records is hosting their monthly showcase of bands tonight over at Pearl.

It's sure to be a great night of music...

take it or leave it....

...as if local labels haven't done enough lately to help the Dayton music scene, both Fictionband and Squids Eye Records have offered up new samplings from the Gem City. While combing through the past, Fictionband has come up with random offerings from Ohio Casket and Cigarhead. For those of you who missed them the first time, take a listen and dig the history. Meanwhile, Squids Eye Records has made a new track available from the long-defunct Jet Kid Committee in advance of the promise of a 4-song EP from the outfit later this fall. Why? Well, keep in mind that Jet Kid Committee was the breeding ground for such current Dayton fixtures as Grizzzzy Bear and Yakuza Heart Attack, as well as the massively underrated Scott Deadalus. Just have a listen....

The Gluons/Scott Deadalus/Magic Jewels-Tonight @ Acid Fever House

...hot off the release of their brilliant noise/pop debut Meet the Gluons, The Gluons will headline a show tonight over at the Acid Fever House. Also on the bill will be Scott Deadalus, who effortlessly dishes out scores of melodic gems in the vein of Syd Barrett armed with loops and samples, giving a distinctively modern update. Opening the evening will be Magic Jewels. Get there...

The Gluons/Scott Deadalus/The Zombies of Funk - Tonight @ Nite Owl

...after you go vote today (you DID go vote, right?), head on down to the Nite Owl for an evening of synth-driven psych-pop. With their debut album about to be released on the formidable Squids Eye Records in a couple of weeks, The Gluons are poised to join an elite and talented group of Dayton musicians that have done likewise. Scott Deadalus performs solo, but armed with various synths and samplers produces an incredibly sweet pop sound landing somewhere between The Strokes and Syd Barrett. Opening the evening will be The Zombies of Funk. You know you'll be there....
