Donner Party Dinner Party- Live at the Frog Bog (Athens)




Donner Party Dinner Party is yet another emerging band from the exploding  Athens, Ohio music scene. The band consists of Ty Owen and Brian Jackson. This is a recording from a party house in Athens, Ohio called the Frog Bog.

DPDP has been descried as:

"assaulting Athens audiences in recent months with their blend of synths, drum machines, movie samples and screaming. This is a pristine release that captures their live sound, recorded at The Frog Bog, an Athens party house. Think Aphex Twin + Bong Ra + Cock ESP + Gang Gang Dance."
-Aaron Vilk


Track two is my personal favorite from the performance. Reminds of me of Xiu Xiu circa Knife Play.

Nyodene D- Snow Falling, Sparrows Overhead (2008)

Another album from our prolific Ohioan noise-monger Nyodene D titled "Snow Falling, Sparrows Overhead" that is the first of many new releases from Athens, Ohio. Snow Falling is to be eventually released on C-20. My personal favorite track from Nyodene D's entire discography is from this release and is titled "Footprints in the Snow". Dont miss it.
Contact CrippledLightWavs@gmail.com, or visit Grundale Records for more information.







"Harsh noise / power electronics a la Prurient and Sutcliffe Jugend inspired by the sinister pitfalls and hostility of Winter. Will be released as a C-20 eventually."
-Nyodene D

Welcome to December. Try to stay warm and in an almost entirely liquid state.
