musicMonday: State Radio

This weeks band is an easy choice, because they are in town. State Radio carries a politically weighted message to most of their music. (ex. Guantanamo, Democracy in Kind or Camilo) My favorites are often when they mix in reggae influence, such as Bohemian Groove or People to People, but the song that gets stuck in my head most frequently is Diner Song. You can listen to most of their new album on MySpace.

All of their albums have been brilliant and Let It Go, their 2009 endeavor, was no exception. I have enjoyed Chad Urmston's work since his Dispatch days and if you have never heard of these groups check them out, because I the more I listen to, the more I want to hear.

So, we Floridians are in for a treat this week. Wednesday they will be at the Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale and I am heading up to Orlando for the show at the Social on Thursday.

Computer trash


It ended up a little dark and blue, but it was the best picture I took this week and I controlled the settings.
