 www.slambovia.comThe Slambovian Circus of Dreams - collectively - are pioneers of the Americana genre, equal parts Washington Irving and Woodstock, tapping styles ranging from dusty Americana ballads to huge Pink Floydesque cinematic anthems. They've been called “the hillbilly Pink Floyd,” particularly if you throw in elements of Incredible String Band, Neil Young, The Band, Dylan, Bowie and Syd Barrett. The band runs its own label, with four critically acclaimed studio albums: A Good Thief Tips His Hat (1999), Flapjacks From The Sky (2003), The Great Unravel (2008), and The Grand Slambovians (2010).

Friday 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm | MSL, MSL: Mimi Sun Longo/Guitar/Bass, KYO: Harrison Cannon/Bass, Mike Rasimas/Drums | The FALCON & The FALCON UNDERGROUND 1348 Route 9W Marlboro, NY See Map |
 New MSL Album! Check it out! "Fated/Faded" Vocalist and songwriter, with a baby blue guitar and a Marlboro bass, Mimi performs solo dream pop as an electronic multi-instrumentalist, and more recently, in a power-punk-dream-rock collaboration with the Beacon NY punk trio, Knock Yourself Out (KYO). MSL (pronounced missile) is the latest incarnation of Mimi Sun Longo, whose projects have included MimiSun ('08), Higher Animals('11), We Got Whales('15), and now, MSL + KYO, with no end in sight for our expectations of MSL. MSL achieves the grind of Janis Joplin and subtlety of Angel Olsen. Josh Stark's loud lead riffs through layers of delay and distortion, push and pull in a winking attempt to tear at the impenetrable KYO rhythm section that is Harrison Cannon and Mike Rasimas. singtomeMSL.com Facebook: fb.me/singtomeMSL Instagram & Twitter: @SingToMeMSL Teaser Vid: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNX8024h2CoSad3cYHED966Y5o5MJT60jUGTjI0/ | ||

 Unfailingly sturdy and open-hearted songs, rock-energized bluegrass propulsion with a soulful, humble overtone.https://www.itkmusic.com In The Kitchen got their start in the steamy kitchen of a second story apartment in Rosendale NY. It was a warm midsummer evening and the boys started plucking sweet sounds as chicken, potatoes and green beans sizzled in the oven. You might say, that meal defined the band's sound - simple and satisfying. In The Kitchen plays a mix of Americana music, with hints of bluegrass, country, ad soul, peppering their songwriting.Their live sets move through a range of emotions, with plenty of danceable, driving tunes, balanced with slow grooves, and earnest lyrics and singing. Like any fine Upstate band, their latest album, Almost Almost There, was recorded in a log cabin nestled in the Catskill Mountains.
