HOSPITAL SHIPS
With Heartscape Landbreak
Saturday, March 17
Hospital Ships is led by Jordan Geiger, a ten year veteran of the Lawrence music scene (formerly of Minus Story, Shearwater, Old Canes, and the Appleseed Cast,) and features a revolving lineup of local heroes. Last year they released Lonely Twin, their second album on Graveface Records. They have toured the U.S. and Europe, recorded an Austin City Limits Satellite Set, played an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, appeared on the Huffington Post, and slept on many floors in support of the record. On March 17, they will play Lonely Twin in its entirety live for the first time. During a recent appearance on Central Standard on KCUR, they described their sound as "Simon and Garfunkel and the Flaming Lips filtered through the eyes of two Midwestern hicks." The album features a 60s pop and folk sound with lots of vocal harmonies and fuzz guitars.

TRUCKSTOP HONEYMOON CD RELEASE CONCERT
with Tyler Gregory
Friday, February 10, 2012
Truckstop Honeymoon play tough, funny, hi-octane songs about interstates, pinball arcades and true love. Katie Euliss pounds a doghouse bass while Mike West punishes a banjo mercilessly. Together they charm festival crowds and drive roadhouse drinkers to the dance-floor. Since hurricane Katrina washed them out of New Orleans, Truckstop Honeymoon have traveled to the ends of the Earth and back, performing in Australia, Holland, Germany, Britain and throughout the US. Their music tells a story so honest and strange you know they didn’t make it up.
Hailing from the rolling hills of Kansas, Tyler Gregory can regularly be found busking on city streets with steam-powered melodies bouncing off the street-side architecture. Gregory's mix of blues and roots music howls with a sense of passion and freedom.
