Audio Absinthe

- Posted by Jneels -

Every Monday in September there is a special thing happening: Saint Motel is playing Spaceland.

There will be great tunes in addition to the right amount of craziness to make each night exciting for you, the non-paying listener.  Yes, it’s free.   Each week has a different film theme, and they have invented a ‘video piano’ to manipulate projections.

This Monday is the release of their EP For Play, which includes 6 songs and music videos produced by the band.  More good news?  They are playing with Fight From Above and The Jakes.  For further convincing head to Saint Motel’s myspace and listen to the song below…
