After four years, Ithaca gets its wish!  This Sunday, December 21st, 2012 at The Haunt, BEHOLD... THE ARCTOPUS will perform their only show outside of Brooklyn this year and their first upstate NY show since 2008.

For those unfamiliar with the band, take a listen to their latest technical devastation:



The technical instrumental trio from Brooklyn play music inspired by both metal and 20th century classical with emphasis on dissonance, polyrhythms, and jazz-like elements.

Founded by Colin Marston (Krallice, Dysrhythmia, Gorguts) and Mike Lerner in 2001 and quickly became known as one of the most forward thinking and technical bands in the underground extreme metal community, being mentioned in the same breath as Cynic, Gorguts, Meshuggah, Voivod, and touring with the likes of Between The Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Genghis Tron.

In 2009, the legendary Weasel Walter, composer and multi-instrumentalist most well-known for his work with The Flying Luttenbachers and the ugExplode imprint, joined BTA after original drummer Charles Zeleny left he group.

Behold... The Arctopus are perhaps most well-known for Colin Marston's use of a 12-string Warr guitar - a 12 string instrument played primarily by tapping that covers the range of guitar and bass.

Thanks for joining us for a Wednesday evening of one of our more unique line-ups. Solid show all around for sure, but NO BABIES ran away with all of our hearts. One of the most high energy bands we've ever hand through - they even had us doing push-ups! Videos below, pics to come.

BONUS FOOTAGE: Live cut from HUME's set this past summer at the Mouth To Mouth To Mouth EP release show back in June. Expect more in Ithaca from these Baltimore/D.C. experimental popsters.

Big thanks to Lanny Huang for his footage at the Maps & Atlases show from May 17th at The Haunt. They're playing again soon, so watch, listen, and come see them again.

Thanks to everyone who came out for another wildly successful birthday show for Bubba. Great turnout, great vibes, and of course - amazing bands. Check out footage below including a brand new track from Mouth To Mouth To Mouth!

You heard that correctly!  CNY's notorious Summer People are working on LP #3 and are giving all of us a sneak peak. Below is a demo of their new one, "Give It Up" recorded by Hunter Davidsohn of Underground River. Keep tabs on the via their blog Burn The Germs. In the meantime, catch them in Brooklyn this Saturday, July 28th at Suburbia with Porches. (with Cameron Wisch on drums), Living Room, and Ithaca's own Mouth To Mouth To Mouth. More info here.

Building off their MTMTM EP debut, "2/LIVE/RMX" offers up two new pieces "That Felt Weird Coming Out Of My Mouth" and "Mouth Parade".  The former is a mostly instrumental track kicking it into high gear right out of the gate with tight kit work and melodic guitar interplay with plenty of stop one a dime tempo and time signature changes. Midway through, the piece breaks, breaths, then kicks into some of the band's heaviest riffage yet recorded in a pitch-bent breakdown. The track finishes out with a huge, post-rock esq climax with guitarist/vocalist Corey Fox Mahaney adding vocal work for added effect.

"Mouth Parade" starts in a bit more subtly with a mix of melodic guitar tapping, ambient effects and rolling bass. Bassist / vocalist Bubba Crumrine chimes in with the first lyric work. The track continues with the bands trade mark tightness, disregard for conventional structure, and full of melodic guitar tapped riffs until the piece makes a quick left turn into full-on math-punk, uptemo syncopation and Corey's blown-out whale until they slam it home with another big riff.

The two new tracks are complimented by a live cut of "Mickey Mouth", the 1st track of their debut, plus remixes of "Consensus on the Fences" by Slug A (Jon of Time/Being) and David Ezra Brown and "That's a LOT of Aardvark" by Paper Armies.

The EP was recorded and mixed by drummer Gabe Millman early in 2011.

Look for the band playing live again in Ithaca on Friday, July 27th at The Space with Paper Mice (31G), Our Daily Fix, Mylets and more; then on Sunday, August 12th for Bubba's birthday show with The Bulletproof Tiger, Summer People, Attic Abasement, and Graupel.

More vids below!

Name: SSWAMPZZ

Location: Syracuse, NY

Formed: From the Earth, like a golem

Members: Garrett (drums), Ricky (bass/noises/vox), Ray (guitar/noises/vox)

Releases: We have a super top secret classified 5 song EP fully recorded. it will be released in good time.

History: We all only really became friends and started playing together in late 2011. First it was Garrett and I, and then Ricky joined in after I had met him through The Clarendon Collective, which is a group in Syracuse that is aimed towards helping musicians and artists get shit done and available to the public. We meshed well right off the bat, it was pretty sweet. We all brought our own influences to what we were shooting for and it just evolved into a dark, high energy noise rock band.

Future: We haven't talked a lot about the future once the EP is released, we've mostly just been going with the flow. And i don't want to get ahead of myself, but there has been some chit chat about releasing a split with this super great band Dumb Talk from Beekman, NY. We'll probably keep playing shows in and around NYS. After the show in Ithaca on the 19th we are playing a couple shows in Syracuse. The one i am most excited for is on the 17th of February at Spark Contemporary Art Space, a bunch of great bands are playing it.

Don't miss SSWAMPZZ live with Mouth To Mouth To Mouth, Speak Daggers, Cheerleader Death Squad and more at Silent City Distro (above Autumn Leaves Books on the commons), 115 MLK Jr / State St, Ithaca, NY 14850 - 8PM $5 ALL AGES
