Coyote Slingshot, The Shakies, and their gold-plated swag.

Through the mystics of FaceBook, Dominic Rabalais, a.k.a Mr. Coyote Slingshot, a.k.a. Mr. Utopia Park, sent me a trip of a video with a colossal musical concept -- Let me try explaining this without a generic copy/paste...

Alright, so in this video, each of the three notes in each chord garner their own color, which means that when these chords are played, there are three colors layered on top of each other. Followin' me so far? When a bass note is played, in correspondence with the color patterns, there's a texture for each one of those bass notes. Then, the images in the foreground each correspond to a note in the melody that the main guitar is playing. That last sentence was basically copy/paste. I tried.

I give my nod of approval, a thumbs-up, and a tip-of-the-cap to this vid' + concept. With no further ado, Captain Captain Industries presents :

Coyote Slingshot + The Shakies -
"Go To The Place Where Everything Sucks And Leave Again"

BONUS VIDEO!

You can catch Utopia Park @ Gabe's in Iowa City, slated to do what I believe is their second I.C. show with Dan Deacon. You could Power a train with all of that Sweat.

For more sweet schwag on those Coyote Slingshot characters, go ahead and swing on over to SlingshotShot, where you can find a nice chunk of Coyote Slingshot downloads via SoundCloud.

Two articles about local swaggin' in two days. Somebody better get at me so I can go for the hat trick tomorrow. 'Til then though, I'm out. Enjoy your Friday + weekend, and be on the look-out for that devious stranger that is Little Ruckus.

The first door-off-the-hinges event hits Fairfield, courtesy of Dominic Rabalais. Y'all know Dom from his shenanigans with Utopia Park and Coyote Slingshot -- now, get ready to celebrate his birthday with the Sweat Power Crew.


Definitely click that image if it's not big enough on your screen. We've been hyping about this event for weeks, even more so now that the date's closing in. As a pre-game to SP '11, Dom provided us with a dank mixtape, a Sweat Power compilation that you really shouldn't pass on.

Reminder :

Just a reminder that the three-man battle royale between St. Andrew, Reevo, & Coyote Slingshot show is today @ The Beauty Shop. While this is a day before NYE, it's a good way to get you in that celebrating kind of mood. If you're not familiar with St. Andrew, you've got a nice catalogue to catch up on. The guy cranks out some heat! I had the chance to catch a couple of shows, including a couple of impromptu dance parties @ KRUU FM, courtesy of P5K.

Coyote Slingshot is straight up fun - be it the music, album art, vinyl obsessions, etc. Last time I saw Dominic Rabalais take the stage, he was sporting a slimming dress, so who really knows what to expect tonight. I mean, aside from a really good time. Also, Dom's our 'Employee of the Week'. Why? Keep posted @ The Industry - We've got a new Sweat Power compilation to crank out in what should be a rad three-day birthday celebration, courtesy of the forementioned bro.

And of course, Reevo's bringin' some hardware. For those not familiar, Reevo is the other bruddah in reggae-dub duo, Ill & Natti. I personally don't know Reevo that well, but I do have a nice impression on what his electronic influences are -- a tremendous strong point. You can also catch him tomorrow @ Vivo's, which I'm assuming has an age-bar, but y'never know.

Read our previous post about tonight's line-up here.

The party before the party -- December 30th welcomes the return of gunslingin' DJ, St. Andrew, the jingle-janglin' of Coyote Slingshot, and the four-on-the-floor + wobblin' of Reevo.


All at 'dat Beauty Shop. If you remember, St. Andrew and Coyote Slingshot teamed up about this time last year and generated a damn fine show, so it should be absolute fire when Reevo drops in.
