"CLAPS debut EP New Science provides a dark view into the world of minimal synth-pop. The St. Paul Minnesota trio plays exclusively analog synthesizers and believes in computer-free hands on electronic music. The analog instruments used on this album create a sound that may be reminiscent of the late 70's early 80's minimal synth and synth pop movements. However, CLAPS New Science is more than just an homage to minimal synth; Its a modern yet classic take on the genre. Along with the current single “Fold” the EP features two other original tracks, the cold vintage yet fresh sounding dance track “Fireworks” and a more down tempo drum-less track "Gruzzles.” The EP also contains three remixes of the current single “Fold” by Chic Portier, Busy Signals and Sovietpanda."

Let's hope i make it out! Don't really see why not, though - last time i was @ SC I did all right with a pack of cigarettes and nothing else.

[DJDeadbeat]

CAID has a cash bar, usually cans of PBR, cidar (hard cidar anyone? Snakebites?), among other things! BYOB is also welcome.

[Joey Deadcat]

BYOB is also welcome.

Hell, in that case may bring Newcastle with me!

[Axelle_Anxiety]

The roomies and I just may come :]]

[DJDeadbeat]

Awesome!! Come on out, Something Cold is always fun. As is most of what goes on at the CAID! :D

[Joey Deadcat]

And it seems like you developed a larger following since switching venues, Justin.

[Joey Deadcat]

Oh, and, Justin - in the most unlikely event I have any female company I wanna hear Colourbox's Breakdown if I make it out!

[DJDeadbeat]

Absolutely, love that song! I still can't find the actual copy of the record anywhere. Tarantula is one of my fav songs ever. That synth line in it!

Listen to it quite a bit on YT and the iPod.

When Desirable Discs had a good thing going back in the day they had quite a few Colourbox singles.

[DJDeadbeat]

I I see Colourbox singles a lot - but never this one. One day!

BUMP. What else are all of yous guys going to do EASTER SUNDAY? SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY.

AND SOMETHING COLD SEATS ARE STILL JUST FIVE BUCKS.

SHOW WAS CANCELED FOLKS. Due to issues with CAID. Sorry, but Something Cold will be at the PIKE ROOM on April 8th for the BLANK DOGS show.

[Joey Deadcat]

Now, you gotta post a thread for the blank Dogs gig, Justin!
