Matthew Vitti runs Mother Brother Studios down in Bridgeport. Somewhat recently he and his team began what they call the Salon Sessions, a collaborative opportunity for artists of all walks of life to experience a pretty impressively captured session. I got a chance to chat with Matthew about the origins and purpose of the Salon Sessions, check it out below.
Old Hannah "Animal Song" from On A Friday
On A Friday kicked off its rooftop series earlier this month. The show featured Emperor X, Spitzer Space Telescope, and Old Hannah. Who doesn't love Emperor X? That guy rocks.

Here's The Metric Mile playing at Elm City Popfest. They were two guys who blended electronica and pop, with a laptop, keys and bass. It's a fun listen, check them out.
The Dayzies played the first set of Elm City Popfest. They played some rock tunes, with some nice alt-country undertones and ripping guitar solos. They had a lot of Big Star vibe going on - good stuff. There was a bit of a mic problem in the beginning, but things get sorted out quick - listen away!
Thanks to everyone who came out to Elm City Popfest, it was a great time. I hope everyone had fun! Thanks to tweefort for putting together a good lineup. I hope this benefit helped the Artspace.
Alright readers, I've got a treat for you today. Here's a recording from New Year's Eve, 1986 of Miracle Legion playing at Middletown's WESU (88.1FM). Miracle Legion was a jangle-pop band from New Haven fronted by Mark Mulcahy. They were active from the mid-80s to the mid-90s. This was back when they were just starting out, and even though the quality of the recording has seriously deteriorated over the years, there are some serious stand-out tracks here like "Butterflies" and a killer version of "The Backyard". Sure it sounds like an old cassette, but only because it was.
The Needle Drop posted a live set from Holiday Shores when they performed at The Space in Hamden last week. Check it out here.
