Bands Casual Future and The Silo Circuit know MySpace.com will bring fans to their show tonight at Casa Nueva, but they hope the audience will be ready for some surprises.
We've always felt that bios and sound clips don't really sum up what you sound like
but if you keep things interesting people will come to hear your music said Brian Koscho, vocalist and lead guitarist for Casual Future.
The band's profile on the popular networking/promotional site describes its sound as a mixture of lyrical and psychedelic indie music, an act of MySpace categorization that Silo Circuit has had trouble doing.
We couldn't pick from the categories that MySpace gave us
said Solo Circuit vocalist Sean Redefer, who added they settled on Roots Music/Indie/Japanese Classic music.
Silo Circuit, along with Adam Torres and Human Lawnmowers, will be helping Casual Future celebrate the release of its new album, Footnotes in the City Lights. Recorded at Zombie Proof Studios in Cleveland, this is the band's first studio album, its previous recording being an EP recorded at Koscho's house.
In the spirit of Casual Future's lack of classification, they made their release party unique like their sound.
As far as anybody I've ever known
when you put a CD out you have a party
and for us
instead of having a party we wanted to get some bands and have a show
Koscho said.
Casual Future said they chose The Silo Circuit because of its unique sound and show.
Silo Circuit just blew us away because they sounded so different from anything else
said Koscho, citing Circuit's mixing of violin, cello, accordion, banjo and horns.
Casual Future will play two songs tonight that they've never played in Athens along with newer versions of songs from their EP, some of which are included on Footnotes. Drummer Todd Jacops said the band now has an advantage because they've mastered their earlier songs, but the new album also sounds tighter and more live.
Still, Koscho said Casual Future's sound can't be pinned down to a genre.
I don't like when we get compared to bands like Pavement because we don't want (the public) to put us in such a minor company
Koscho said. Even a normal rock song can be a little weird.
The show's cover is still to be announced, but the band is trying to allow free admission with the purchase of Footnotes, on sale at the show for $8.
