Sleeping in the Aviary Featuring: Talking Mountain, Thunder Power, and the Jake Russell Band December 20, 2008

-Show at 9pm, $5 Door

Sleeping in the Aviary’s debut album "Oh, This Old Thing?" (Science of Sound), showcased SITA’s ability to create intense bursts of lo-fi, catchy-as-hell pop. With songs averaging under two minutes, comparisons to The Thermals, Buzzcocks, Violent Femmes and Nirvana were inevitable. Now, another side of the band’s musical personality is captured on SITA’s sophomore album "Expensive Vomit In A Cheap Hotel." The band’s core of Elliott Kozel (guitar/vocals), Michael Sienkowski (drums) and Phil Mahlstadt (bass), has added a fourth member, Celeste Heule, on accordion and musical saw, heralding a move towards an indie-folk direction. “I think it would be boring to make the same record over and over again,” says Kozel. “I want to surprise people with each album that I make.”
