Happenings Down The Hill: June Happenings At Willimantic Records

Upcoming Live Music at Willimantic Records

Friday, June 6th at 7pm: LANDING (Connecticut)  "5 stars out of 5- US quartet create wonderful psychedelic soundscapes on this, their fourth long playing excursion. Plaintive songwriting, ambient harmonies, and tripped out textures ripple throughout the subconscious like a midsummer's dream. Some of the best avant-prog and lo-fi space rock around"  - MOJO Magazine   MOCKINGBIRD (Akron, Ohio) Progressive doom trio made up of guys who've played in Rune, Rue, Ultra Lord, Twenty Third Chapter, Medusa Complex, Ichabod Crane, and Soul Compost.   JERKAGRAM (Brooklyn, NY) "Two brothers who you can't believe are as old as they claim making delicious sonic sauce for all to pour on themselves in ecstasy."   GREG CONTE (Waterford, CT) ex-Mi6 bassist, current NERVE STEW guitar mangler.
