Trolling the innerweb for Jolie Holland's 'springtime can kill you' led me to the daytrotter site. These guys built out a recording studio to snare touring groups as they trek across the country to stop in & record, talk, and publish the information & recordings online. Since, I've been a download whore & found several new bands/musicians that I'll be looking for when they come through chicago.
from the site:::::::
"Daytrotter Sessions
These fine people – as they’re
traveling through America’s heartland – take two hours out of their
travels between shows to stop in for a Daytrotter Session at
Futureappletree Studio One in downtown Rock Island, Ill. The name of
the city is not ironic. They use borrowed instruments, play with their
touring mates, utilize a often unkempt toilet, eat some food and then
cram back into their vans for the last half of the drive."
I'm going shopping there again right now. Really digging the sea wolf tracks.
