Start the countdown cuz the Cassettes are heading out on a good old fashion American tour in two days! They'll even be busking on the street in some cities and selling Cassettes tea at their merch booth! When was the last time you heard of a band doing that? I can't wait til they hit LA... If you haven't checked them out yet, download the two tracks below. You can get their new cd 'Neath The Pale Moon from your local record store or from one of the online services below. You might wanna also pick up the reissue (with bonus tracks) of their second record O'er The Mountain which features members of Dead Meadow as the backing band. The singer of The Cassettes, Shelby, produced their first two records. But the DM dudes aren't in the band anymore, it's a full new and improved lineup now... for more on The Cassettes visit their myspace page @ http://myspace.com/thecassettes, their website @ http://www.thecassettes.com/ and Wikipedia page @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cassettes.

I love this kind of steam punk music! The Cassettes really have a sound of their own...totally check them out while they are on tour! Absolutely worth it!

I think that show at the Art Hospital in Bloomington is actually in Indiana, not Illinois.
