Hey all! Here's a small sample of what you can now find on the Ithaca Underground YouTube channel. Thanks to Christian deBrigard for the tons of vids from the last few months shows right here: http://www.youtube.com/user/IthacaUnderground

Thursday, July 15th marks the Ithaca return of international super-stars Sleep For The Nightlife! OK, so that's exaggerating but, these four are from Toronto and many people enjoyed their performance last year with Zona Mexicana. This time around they're be performing with Boston's Ladderlegs and local favs Makeshift and BRIAN! The band is a year older, a year wiser, and - as all DIY bands - a year broker. Is broker a word in that context? Regardless, SFTNL team captian Brandon chats it up with Ithaca Underground's Bubba Crumrine with what's old and what's shiny and new!
IU: What have you all be up to since we last saw you last July?
SFTNL: Wow, I don't even know where to begin...Well, we're all a year older, considerably poorer and continuously amassing new debt. We've been playing as much as possible in as many places as possible, writing a lot of new material and working on having a full length out for early next year.
IU: How did the mini-tour with Hey Predator! go?
SFTNL: It was a lot of fun, the Hey Predator! boys are our most-bestest-band-like-buddies, so to do a string of shows with them was awesome. We did one show in an auto shop and played facing each other, trading song-for-song... which was a ton of fun! That show culminated in a drunken 10-piece jam of Neil Young's "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" complete with each of us taking the biggest jerk solos we could muster. Originally we had planned to do a lot more shows together this summer but ended up deciding to break up the dates into two sections, so we're hoping to visit them in the fall and do some more shows together.
IU: I believe you mentioned you’re on a new label when we spoke in the spring. How did that come to be?
SFTNL: Sure, We've recently struck up a relationship with Easy Tiger Entertainment, a Toronto indie label that's on the verge of doing some big things. They're going to be taking care of us in Canada and helping us get a full-length off the ground, hopefully by the second quarter of 2011. They're absolute sweethearts and have already welcomed us into the family with open arms. How this will affect the USA, I don't know- for now we're just focusing on promoting our current EP "Human People", visiting with all of the wonderful people that we met last year and making as many new friends as possible.
IU: So you mentioned you have new material in the works?
