Indy In-Tune #019: State

This week marks a return to a cozy little bar at my alma mater in Bloomington, Indiana to meet up with the band State, a high-energy punk/pop/rock outfit fronted by veteran David Barajas (ex Extra Blue Kind). The band has been getting great reviews in most of the local trades for the last few years and has won several Best-Of editor and reader polls. Despite some background noise issues and a shortened time frame to accommodate a sound check for a gig they were playing across the street at the Bluebird, the guys gave a funny and entertaining interview and shared some fantastic music from their impending CD release. Important links from the show: State can be found on the internet here: MySpace Their current project is being recorded at Russian Recording with producer Mike Bridavsky. They have also appeared on episode 107 of Jeffrey T's Good Beer Show, an excellent podcast run by a great guy, both of which I have plugged more that once on this show. And, as per usual, we want to keep you aware of how you can help save internet radio in the face of corporate extortion aimed to silence independent, non-terrestrial broadcasting.
