IN A MINUTE:

A NEW MUSIC ROUND_UP…

@couch.slut are here w/ “THE DONKEY (ABRIDGED),” the second single from their forthcoming LP titled ‘You Could Do It Tonight’ (4/19 @brutalpandarecords) & it finds the NYC-based quintet of Dylan DiLella (guitar), Kevin Hall (bass/synth), Amy Mills (guitar/misc), Theo Nobel (drums/synth) & Megan Osztrosits (vocals) pig_fucking their way across 4 mins of visceral NoiseRawk.

“HORIZON LINE” is the final single in the run-up to @frailbodyil’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Artificial Bouquet’ (3/29 @deathwishinc) & it finds the Rockford-based trio of Lowell Shaffer (guitar/vox/keys), Nic Kuczynski (bass) & Nicholas Clemenson (drums) examining “a self-constructed pillar of shame” across 3 relentlessly lacerated mins.

“EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING CHANGED” is a choice cut from @lessercare’s highly anticipated forthcoming LP titled ‘Heel Turn’ (3/22) & it finds the EPTX-based duo of composer/lyricist/vocalist/guitarist Andres Chavez & drummer/percussionist/vocalist Zane Pacillas (w/ a special shoutout to bassist/guitarist Angel Yglecias) linking up w/ @softkillpdx’s Tobias Grave to bring a loaded 3:42 clip moodily lit, emotionally surged & Alt_rawking DreamPop.

“JSUK” is the lead single from @saturnalias6669’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Bugfest’ (5/10 @candlepin_records) & it finds Alex Tung’s Raleigh/Durham-based sonic art project bringing the explosively lo-fi goods across 4 blown out mins of dreamy AltGaze.

@so_totally are here w/ “DOZ ROSES,” the second single from their forthcoming LP titled ‘Double Your Relaxation’ (5/17 @tinyengines) & it finds the Philly-based quartet bringing their grunge_wedding vibes across a sub-4 min slice of six-string swirling & psych_poppin DreamGaze.

Album Review: Annabel - Worldviews

#AlbumReview: @annabelohio - Worldviews The long-gestating fourth album from the #emo stalwarts confronts world changes on universal and personal levels @tinyengines #Annabel #newmusic #review #rock #alternative #worldviews #musicrecommendation #punk

When doing my research for Annabel’s forthcoming release, a particular framing of thought stuck out to me. Worldviews, the band’s fourth full-length album to be released on Tiny Engines, is their first release in nine years. However, the brains behind the operation (brothers Ben and Andy Hendricks) consider this less of a comeback and more of “as the product of years spent gestating.”  This…

見逃せない良作を次々とリリースしているレーベルTiny Enginesから、ポートランドの4ピース Strange Ranger の新作。彼らが敬愛するBuilt To Spill、Modest Mouse、それにYves TumorやOneohtrix Point Neverなど新世代のエレクトロニック音楽、そしてThe Cureからの影響もを赤裸々に反映させ、現代の��ルタナティヴ・ロックに昇華させた素晴らしい14曲。私のようにフジロックでのデスキャブの余韻をひきずっている方にも大変おすすめです。 #markingrecords #vinyl #record #recordstore #indiemusic #indie #matsumoto #strangeranger #tinyengines (Marking Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ncSCNhfER/?igshid=fkcvby8846x8

IN A MINUTE:

A NEW MUSIC ROUND_UP...

“DUST II” is the lead single/track from @abeltheband’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Dizzy Spell’ (6/27 @candlepin_records@juliaswarrecs) & it finds the Columbus-based quintet of Isaac Kauffman (vocals/guitar), John Martino (vocals/guitar), Noah Fisher (bass), Brynna Hilman (guitar) & Ethan Donaldon (drums) bringing that “ultra-collaborative & unified 3 guitar” ethos across 2 mins of fuzzily blown-out AltRawk.

@allunderhvn are here w/ “RECEIVING CERTAIN ANSWERS,” the official lead single from their forthcoming debut LP titled ‘What Lies Ahead Of Me’ (6/7 @sundaydriverecords) & it finds the Freehold, NJ-based quartet of Nick DeFabritus (guitar/vocals), Michael Cucci (bass), Aaron Brenner (drums) & Jake Rubin (guitar) bringing 3 mins of dreamily hazed GrungeGaze.

“EVERYTHING” is the latest single from @aluminumsf’s forthcoming debut LP titled ‘Fully Beat’ (5/24 @felte_label) & it finds the SF-based quartet of Marc Leyda (vox/guitar/sampler), Ryann Gonsalves (vox/bass), Austin Montanari (guitar) & Chris Natividad (drums) bringing the tweefull exuberance across a 3:43 clip of JanglePop goodness.

@snakey_dublay are here w/ a tasty new standalone single titled “BONEHEAD” & it finds the singer/multi-instrumentalist @daisyheroin & his merry band of sneks dropping another succulent slice of melodic dissonance across 4+ mins of propulsively post_punking & six-string searing GloomRawk.

“STRANGE WAY” is the latest single from @so_totally’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Double Your Relaxation’ (5/17 @tinyengines) & it finds the Philadelphia-based quartet bringing the deliciously dour & melancholically tender goods across a sub-6 min slice of gently_gazed & starry_mazzed DreamPop.

Album Review: Footballhead - Overthinking Everything

#AlbumReview: Footballhead - Overthinking Everything Chicago band explores fuzzy #altrock and #emo adjacent sounds in their debut LP via @TinyEngines #newmusic #review #poppunk #rock #Footballhead #alternative #musicrecommendation

I’ve observed a delightful trend in recent Tiny Engines releases, especially with artists like Bewilder and Flight Mode. These musicians are delving into 90s and early 2000s influences, channeling the likes of Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab for Cutie, all while aiming to revitalize those sounds for the contemporary listener. This trend seamlessly continues with Footballhead’s debut LP,…

Got to see @emperorx in Columbus last night. We shared a pretzel. It was wild. The show was supposed to be at a laundromat, but the power went out for that block, so the venue was moved to a venue that was somebody's home. It was 100% the best place to have the show. Chad created a super intimate setting with dim lighting and sing-along sessions. There aren't words to describe how excellent the show was. Ineffable, at best. And it was both. . . . . #emperorx #oversleepersinternational #columbus #music #indiemusic #concert #show #indieshow #tinyengines @tinyengines https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbIRvXFIBN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lcj721gx7v6a

February Updates

Hello! This is Jackie, co-founder of Blank Slate. It's been a minute since I've written a blog post. Today I feel that it's appropriate because the only things I feel motivated to do are talk about Blank Slate and play with my pets. (I successfully played with Ruffles and Snowflake for an hour this morning)

TL;DR Blank Slate is a punk venue. Last night was fun. We have many upcoming events in February. The art gallery looks great. Our bills are scary.

"What is Blank Slate?" you may ask. It's a DIY venue in Elyria, Ohio. We host live music shows,  an art gallery, community get togethers, among other things. The whole idea is to provide a location for artistic expression and community. We are volunteer run and are always seeking out more people to get involved with us. We really want to see you book events in our venue.

You may now be wondering, "What has Blank Slate been up to?" Well, lots of sh*t!

Music Shows

For one, our hip hop game is only getting better and better. For months Eddy (co-founder and guy who books like all the music shows) booked a lot of hardcore, indie, and punk shows. But now I'm seeing a lot more hip hop shows booked mostly by Orcko Occult. And by "a lot more" I mean that there was one last Saturday, there is one this Tuesday 2/7 and Saturday 2/18.

Also upcoming is Anderson's PAL-entines day Lonely Hearts Open Mic on Tuesday 2/14 (ps Anderson is an art gallery juror & very important volunteer). I think there are plenty of open spots, if you're interested.

Shaun (a founding board member) has Meet Me in Montauk on Monday 2/13.  Eddy has an indie punk show on Friday 2/17 with Tiny Engines backed Signals Midwest.

Art Gallery

The art gallery team has been killing it. I'm so proud of Shelby, Michelle, and Anderson. I'm the administrator for the gallery, which means that I do a lot with coordinating artists and assisting the team. Shelby is in charge of the group. Together they select the pieces, install and take down the art, plan the monthly art receptions, and are there for weekly gallery hours. Yeah it's a lot of volunteer hours. Too bad we aren't applying to college anymore. This would look great on a scholarship application.

Last night we had our February Art Reception with live music performed by Matt Deulley (of A Work of Fiction). The gallery is currently featuring the work of artists Dan Manion (Athens) and Blair Griffith (Cleveland). Both of their work have similar themes of abstraction. But it's pretty sweet because they approach the idea in very different ways. Their work will be up all of this month. You can view it Sundays from noon to 3pm and also at any of our events. Next month we have artists Timothy Gaewsky (Cleveland) and Rhiannon Massaro (Wooster). Their work uses lots of color and are similarly trippy.

Film Screenings

Last night following the February reception we had a screening and discussion of Japanese thriller Woman in the Dunes hosted by Stephen (one of our artists back in November '16). It was super creepy and thought provoking. Now I'm wondering, "Would I be more trapped in my current life or enslaved/ enslaved with a lady in the dunes?" That doesn't make any sense to you? You just have to see the movie. Next film screening is coming up in a month or so.

Girl Gang

Michelle, Courtney (January '17 artist & very important volunteer) and I started the Girl Gang Meet Up a few months ago. Our goal is simply to help girls make friends with girls. And by girl, I mean any person who includes girl as a part of their identity. For example, if you are a non binary or trans person who is interested in being part of a girl gang, then I totally want you to come. I want moms to attend, too. At each meetup we have bitch support group and an arts and crafts project. The next event is Wednesday 2/15. I think we are making water marbled coffee mugs.

Finances

It's been a challenge to pay our bills for the last several months. Attendance at shows hasn't been great and that's how we make all of our money. Yeah we sell art and zines sometimes, but it's all about the money we make from admission at shows. I know, it's cold out and netflix exists. But I personally want to encourage you to come to shows! I'm working on being more fun, too, so maybe you will see me and we will become best friends 4 eva.

Alright, that's a lot of information. If you made it this far, congratulations and thank you! If this post got you thinking about how you can get involved, be on the look out for the March public meeting. The public meetings are a great way for new people to get to know us and for everyone to share ideas.I'll make a facebook event for it soon.

That’s Snowflake my pet rabbit ^^^
