This Thursday, we're presenting Radar Eyes, Speck Mountain and Circuit Des Yeux at Lincoln Hall. You may have noticed the awesome screen printed poster from Ethan D'Ercole in our window or elsewhere around town... Then, on Saturday, we have the first in a very special series of Epitonic saki Sessions presented by Notes & Bolts. We're hosting Chandeliers and Deep Sleep for a session, but this time both sets will not only be available on Epitonic (as usual) but Notes & Bolts and saki are will also be releasing the live tracks on a limited run cassette! We've got two of these sessions for January, the second on January 26th with Pink Frost. After that we aim to do one of these special sessions a month.
On January 13th we're bringing Pillars & Tongues back for another session (with some new material). They'll be joined by one of our other absolute favorite Chicago bands in Zelienople. We're seriously excited for this one. If you're not aware of both or either of these bands, we strongly recommend you come check them out!
On the 18th we have the opening reception for our January artist's, Delicious Design League! You've no doubt seen some of their screen printed posters around town, but we've got some of the best of the best on our walls right now. The prints will be available for purchase in advance of the opening, but definitely come to the opening if you want to meet the artists or nosh on some free food and drinks from saki and Upton's Naturals!
We'll be celebrating the release of our first saki records release with Santah's You're Still A Lover 12" EP (available NOW) on the 19th with a party featuring performances from Barber Greene, Grandkids and Gabe from Dastardly at saki. After the party we're all heading down to The Burlington for DJ sets from saki and Santah!
That's not even everything we have for January, but we'll update you on the rest later. We've got a VERY special announcement for January 28th that you don't want to miss out on!

P4K 8.0! "[the] success of (III) is how it brings you close enough to the evil that men do to be shocked, repulsed, and affected by it." Sounds great, right!?
Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Octopus Kool Aid LP
Finds ORL & company concentrating once more on electronics as opposed to guitar-based composition, a tendency encountered on 2010's tychozorente, not to mention THE MARS VOLTA's recent game changer, Noctourniquet.
Check out these new and upcoming featured releases from saki/CTD!

| Analog electronics fractured into shards of techno & radiophonic experiments, courtesy of Brad Rose (NORTH SEA, DIGITALIS). Dispensing w/ the jerky 808-led shimmer of its predecessor Triangles, Isolatarium makes its case w/ cold, digital synthesis & buried 4/4 pulses. The searing noise of Rose's output as The North Sea is still audible somewhere in the mix, but the key to this record is restraint, & any clouds of white noise are tempered by cascades of sizzling FM synthesis | |||||||||||||||

| Wild One is the bandÕs debut full-length, constructed by Malvini and her band, which demonstrates a proficiency seldom heard on the Brooklyn indie rock circuit. Fortunately, this is a group that knows how to juggle the technical gifts at its disposal and the emotional application needed to make this something more than an exercise in indie navel-gazing. Wild One might seem like an inappropriate banner to hoist over such quotidian surface structures, but dig a little deeper and it clearly represents this bandÕs desire to shake things up every once in a while. -Pitchfork | |||||||||||||||
