Just releasing their newest album, The Machine, which has a 90′s grunge feel about it, yet sticks closely to their space-age bohemian soundscapes, that hipsters on all different levels for the past 18 years can’t resist.

At the Movies:

Terror Tuesday’s presents The Occult 70′s film, Equinox. Four teenagers stumble across the invisible line of good and evil and end up fighting for their lives against giant neon blue trolls, Evil forest rangers, Devil Cults, evil rings, and supernatural satanic claymation monsters. This perpetual terror was an inspiration for The Evil Dead series and is a definite Hell-driven cinematic fantasy. Alamo Ritz 90 min. 10pm. R.
