Friday 6/12 @ The Argus: Universe, Cloudcraft, Al Qaeda, Sleepy Beach

Fun show alert! Our friend Ben books pretty unpredictable shows (sonically that is, the fun is predictable) at the argus. Sometimes you get improv, sometimes you get songs; sometimes you get noise, sometimes you get soothing sounds. This Friday, you get all of the above. Universe and Cloudcraft bring the gentle, Al Qaeda aren’t just being cheeky with their name and Sleepy Beach…

Whoa! I forgot this band existed and now I see there’s new songs up on their myspace page. Sleepy Beach make that cool kid sound (ala oh sees, fresh & onlys, et al) but damn its catchy. It kind of makes me think of the fucked up underbelly of california’s golden era, like thinking about Charles Manson in a present day Obama hope sort of way. Plus, its got some of our friends from over at Roman Meal in it. Don’t miss it!
