Team Clermont was in attendance for last weeks Athens Jookabox show, and what an amazing evening it was! One of our favorite tracks from the Asthmatic Kitty stars is “Don’t Go Phantom”! They recently released a video for this track, the fifth video from their latest release Dead Zone Boys. This animated adventure features colored ghosts, random thievery, and mad scientistry!
Check it out below!
Our friends at Asthmatic Kitty and Under The Radar have put together a killer Halloween contest in conjunction with* Jookabox’s* upcoming record Dead Zone Boys!
Here are the details for Under the Radar & Jookabox’s Halloween Costume Giveaway:
1) Grab a nice clean photo of your best Halloween costume, past, present, or future
2) Make sure it’s your most amazing, scary, ghoulish, and knee-knockingly good costume. (Only include yourself in the photograph. NSFW pics will be elimated from the contest.)
3) Scan that monstrous thing into a .jpeg format and e-mail it to media@undertheradarmag.com with the subject line “JOOKABOX HALLOWEEN COSTUME GIVEAWAY” by Tuesday, November 3rd (the release date for Dead Zone Boys).
While you are in the Jookabox state of mind, check out the track You Cried Me feature in Under The Radar.

Let’s not lie: Hermit Thrushes have had a really exciting few months. Back in April, their song “Snowflake Heart” was featured on Tiny Mix Tapes’ Chocolate Grinder Mix 09 (alongside tunes from Dirty Projectors, Deerhunter, and Akron/Family), and Slight Fountain, the band’s new full-length, was just released a few weeks ago!
Slight Fountain is gloriously eccentric and unpredictable. It makes sense – the Hermit Thrushes are quirky dudes. Some of the guys pulled their pants down at last year’s CMJ Marathon in front of a bunch of people! An impressive feat, if we do say so ourselves.
In a few days, Hermit Thrushes will begin bouncing around the country on their just-over-a-month-long tour, and a Daytrotter session is on the way! Be sure to tell your family, friends, and lots of strangers.
New York’s Hi Red Center’s Assemble, their debut album for Joyful Noise Recordings, comes out on Tuesday, and they’ll also be hitting the road out to Indianapolis for the CD release show on February 12th! Be sure to see them bring the jamz when they’re in a town near you!
