WHO’S PLAYING?  Dsoedean (St. Joseph, MO) Cupcake (St. Joseph, MO) Scruffy & The Janitors (St. Joseph, MO)

WHAT TO EXPECT?  A new addition to your record collection! Get a copy of Dsoedean’s full length album Continue To Move on CD. You can also get some Dsoedean vinyl if you like that sort of thing… I know I do. The 7″ single contains “Daylight” and “Remainder One” on a spiffy looking CLEAR slab of vinyl with cool unique artwork.

I was lucky enough to get a chance to listen to Continue To Move before its release; here is what I thought of it: https://vocalsontop.com/2013/05/18/250-word-local-album-review-dsoedean-continue-to-move/

Dsoedean is the solid rock of St. Joseph. Zale Bledsoe and company are a hard working band that has brought many acts to town over the last couple years and are an important piece in the jigsaw puzzle that is the St. Joseph music scene. They bring a high energy level to each show and this particular show is over two years in the making so they should ramp up the enthusiasm for it.

Scuffy & The Janitors continue to impress St. Joe crowds. Many bands in the town push the same songs and same set on people repeatedly but this young band will have none of it. Each show seems to unveil new songs to their already impressive arsenal. They released their first album Pino just over a half year ago but to the band it was a lifetime ago. The group has moved to greener pastures where the songs are better and the expectations grow with each new jam they write.

Cupcake brings an abstractness to each show. The music might make you uncomfortable or make you wonder what the band is doing. As a veteran of several Cupcake shows I can tell you first hand that everything has its place in their music and if it doesn’t fit where it sounds like it should; it is still every bit intentional. Test your tolerance for different music and take in a Cupcake set.
