This show saw the return to Ithaca of Worm Quartet (pictured above with Joe and Dave of The Last Exit), who hasn't played here in a few years now. He pleased the crowd with his brand of solo comedy synth punk. He is a highly requested artist on the Dr. Demento show, and mostly just plays conventions nowadays. Worm Quartet hails from Rochester, NY. Check out the Pictures.
Next up, from Binghamton, NY, If Man is Five. What we, and they, did not know at the time is that this would be the last show with this lineup. They played one more show after this, with just the girls, acoustic, and broke up. That was in August 2010. In November 2010, Guitarist Brianna and Drummer Matt decided to reform the band and are current trying to complete the lineup. Pictures!
Ithaca locals Mill Bastards were up next. Old School Punk Rock, straight and simple. Pictures!
And finally, headlining the night, from Binghamton, NY, Others. Others have a rather unique style that pulls from Goth, Horror, Metal, and Punk. Enjoy some Pictures.
A rather diverse show this time around. We started off with LAW, which stands for Lucifer at Work. They are from NJ, and this was their first time playing in Ithaca. They have a very cool EP, and are working on a full length CD, from which their whole set was taken.
Next up was the Cyberpunk-ness of Psyche Corporation. Genevieve comes from NYC, the rest of the band are local to Ithaca, and this performance contained the first full band performance of the song Minor Demon, thanks to New Animal. Gen also sang on one of their songs. Psyche Corporation has 3 CD's out currently, although the first is hard to find at the moment. Songs from the set were from all three.
More Videos from the show can be found on the Psyche Corporation YouTube Page.
Up next were Cortland natives New Animal. After helping with Psyche Corporation, Genevieve returned the favor by singing Dreams with them. Part of their set came from their awesome full length CD, Growth and Decay, the rest was made up of some cool covers and new songs.
Finally, ending the night was the moody darkness, and fun, that is Zadoc... and the Nightmare. Playing mostly songs off their upcoming CD, I believe they threw in at least one from their first CD from a couple years back. They are currently in studio working on their new one. Genevieve and Arydaea from Psyche Corporation also lent their dancing skills to Zadoc for this night...
So this was one of our rare Sunday shows. It was a quiet night, not a great turnout.
À Rebours were on first, and this was the first show with their new drummer. And by new, I mean he joined the band about a week earlier. They played a bunch of material off their upcoming CD due out later this year.
Psyche Corporation was short a dancer as she was sick this night. Genevieve was also on Tuesday's with the Band on WVBR the previous Tuesday, you can hear that appearance here.
