Manic Productions Presents:

July 16 at The Space, come see four great bands:

Cotton Jones
Mean Creek
A Paper Tugboat
East India Company

Cotton Jones are from Maryland. They were originally an offshoot of Page France, and now are touring as a full time project. Their new album Paranoid Cocoon came out earlier this year to really great reviews. It's a really great band so you'll definitely want to check them out.

Mean Creek is from Boston, and is getting a lot of great press. The Boston Globe says: "Mean Creek's folksy Simon & Garfunkel harmonies anchor a sound that alternates between jangling and overdriven guitars. This could be the best lineup in Boston." They're on tour to promote the release of their new album The Sky (or the Underground).

A Paper Tugboat are a grungy folky rock band from CT. They just finished recording their debut EP "Demonstration" and it will be out later this summer.

East India Company is a psych rock band from Hamden, and just played the Ideat Festival. They sound pretty minimalistic and are doing really complex stuff for what sounds like just drum and bass. It'll be interesting to see these guys live, as I'm not really sure what to expect out of them.

Doors open at 7 PM - $10 ($8 advance) at The Space, Hamden, CT
