Grandma Kelsey - The Dapper Yeti Tour - Sunday at The Crux

Obviously you're gonna have a good time this weekend. You rule like that. But when Sunday night rolls around it's not time to feel sorry about how the work or school week is about to start. It's time to go to a show. 

Boise's own Grandma Kelsey reminds us of all the rad stuff coming out of Anacortes, WA over the years. Quirky, folky, and rad. Imagine yourself with a warm cup of coffee at The Crux listening to this goodness. $3 cover. 7PM start. Chris Jennings and Gregory Rawlins will open. The bonus? You'll be home by bedtime.

Arthur Maddox - Tonight at The Red Room - FREE

A Boise MC who raps about Dungeons and Dragons? Yup. No cover charge? Yup. <<Although donations always encouraged>> 5 Dolla Pitcherz and 2 Dolla Tallboyz before 8PM? Yup.

So basically you have a lot of good reasons to head on down to The Red Room tonight. Party starts whenever you arrive but music starts at 8PM. Opening for Arthur Maddox will be P-Dirt and the Illumneye Crew. Yuuuuup!

Gayze - Black Soul EP - Out Today!

If you were one of the lucky ones who checked out Gayze at The Red Room/Gramma's House shows in December I'm sure you got your mind blown/face melted/lungs damaged. If you missed out, it's time to cop the new vinyl pronto. Gayze's EP 'Black Soul' is out TODAY on Bleeding Gold Records. Here's a review written in Japanese. 

Here's a clip of Gayze at the Gramma's House show taken by Ellen Rumel. These dudes are RIPPERZ FER SHERRZ. 

And if the gents in Gayze see this...MORE SHOWS PLEASE. 

With Room - The Crux

This past First Thursday featured a dope all-Boise art show dubbed 'With Room'. The show will run through the entire month of January so head on over to The Crux while it's still up and running.

The Unofficial Treefort Spotify Playlist

THE UNOFFICIAL

Spotify Playlist

We went ahead and created a new Spotify playlist featuring all of the bands that will be at Treefort Music Fest this year (that are on Spotify).  We'll be adding to it as the Treefort peeps release more artists.  Familiarize yourself with the awesomeness that is coming to our town in March.

You must have a Spotify account to listen, it's probably about time you get one anyways.

Here Comes the Dumptruck: Teens, Gayze, Art Fad and Deaf Kid @ the Red Room ...

Here Comes the Dumptruck: Teens, Gayze, Art Fad and Deaf Kid @ the Red Room ...: This show excited me because it gave me an opportunity to check out Gayze, a new project by local band Teens and Texas group the Rich Han...
