Simplified
Friday, November 21
Doors at 9:00pm
$8 advance
$10 day of show
Simplified's cleverly cool lyrics, original vocals and inventive music may give a slight nod to recent innovators, but the band's forte is its ability to boost itself into its own territory of style, shuffling confidently from folk to rock to funky jam without losing its, well, Simplified-ness.
Copper Sails
Saturday, November 22
Doors open at 9:00pm
$7.00
Copper Sails mix melody, musicianship, and emotion in a new independent rock sound. With their latest reconstruction, Copper Sails has reached a level of maturity and intensity that will provoke and satisfy the avid music fan who is forever searching for something new and yet still lends itself
for broad appeal. While the band has often been compared to such acts as U2, Coldplay, and Radiohead, one listen will reveal that they have a sound all their own defined by dual lead vocals, intricate and expansive guitar work, lush piano and keyboard textures, driving bass and rhythmic drumming that forge a new American Indie / British Rock sound.

ILAD
Friday, November 28
Doors open at 9:30pm
$5.00
Whether or not ILAD will remain in the dark corners of the public’s musical consciousness is unknown. If anything, they seem to have used the mystique to their creative advantage as they continue to churn out new material. ILAD has just recently come off an unusually prolific period having recorded almost 30 tracks for what will be released on a 2-disc collection of tunes tentatively titled Here There. Early leaks of the new recordings reveal a band that has blown wide open its already seemingly borderless boundaries. Releasing a 2-disc album seems unwise in times of a finicky music market with the disposability of digital downloads and an overcrowded stage where everyone and their uncle plays in a band. However, from its birth in 2004, ILAD has always played the role as outsider and evidently, these four men aren’t planning on changing their tune.
