CAPITAL ZEN with HIGH PEAKS
Forged in the PCB-laden waters of
the Hudson River, Capital Zen’s
minds and music have mutated
beyond genre classification. They
keep their audience on their feet time
and time again with explosively
danceable, yet edgy and addictive
grooves – not to mention a keen
sense of surprise!
Capital Zen breaches thresholds, from
inciting paranoia to the quest for life’s
“undo” button. No matter the dire
outlook of Mayan Prophecies or the
sugar-coated gumdrop tales of
Utopianism, Capital Zen doesn’t try to
think for you - rather, they ask you to
look within and question what is real
and what is right.
So, turn your light on, stop making the
same mistakes and let go the
stranglehold of a reality TV-induced
status quo…because when you’re
hangin’ with CZ, livin’ is easy!
HIGH PEAKS at PUTNAM DEN
SIRSY, the Capital Region’s own

SIRSY will perform new songs from
their sixth studio CD (scheduled
for a summer 2010 release),
including a brand new debut
entitled, “Cannonball”. Five new
songs will be performed at the
Putnam Den show which gives
concert goers a sneak peak at half
of the new album.

those who are 18 and over.

Vermont), open the show at 9:30p.

HEY MARSEILLE
and SAMSON and the FOLKADELICS
Hey Marseilles plays orchestral folk
songs, interweaving eclectic
instrumentation with melodic musings on
time and place. Having landed on
Sound NW’s “Top 10
Bands to Watch for 2008,” HM
released their first full-length album, To
Travels & Trunks, late that year
and have been garnering favorable
reviews from Seattle critics in the
months since. The record landed airplay
on independent radio taste-maker KEXP
and secured a top ten listing in
Seattle’s Three Imaginary
Girls’ “Top Northwest
Releases of 2008 Readers Poll.”
HM played SXSW 2009, are booked for
the main stage at Seattle’s
Capitol Hill Block Party, and have been
selected for both Bumbershoot and CMJ
2009. Recent months have seen them
share bills with The Constantines,
Cotton Jones, and fellow Seattleites
The Long Winters and David Bazan.

Take a little bit of reggae, mix it with some
funky three-part harmony vocals, add a
touch of hip-hop, and the essence of
something that your parents may have
listened to in the 60’s and you’ve got the
unique style of newcomers Sampson and
the Folkadelics. Formed as acoustic project
focusing on old folk classics,
guitarist/vocalist Sam Miller began spitting
his own rhymes in December 2006. Guitar
player and vocalist Gavin Cummings helped
to enhance the sound by adding mandolin
with a fresh new style. Bassist Jon
Sandners was added in 2007, creating a
fuller and funkier sound, and Ian Cummings,
brother of the mentioned, brings to life a
beat and inclining for rhythm that transcends
his years. The most recent addition to the
band is vocalist Danny Faraone, who
completed the three-part blend with a voice
one can only hear to believe.

ST PATTY'S DAY PRACTICE - ALL YOU SERVICE INDUSTRY PEOPLE THAT HAVE
TO WORK ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY - COME CELEBRATE
FAKE ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!
PROBING DIGITS

Pre- St. Patty's party continues with...

GREEN JELLO SHOTS and GREEN BEER
ALL NIGHT LONG
Being that Probing Digit is
incomparably superior to all
other musical acts (including
but not limited to Beethoven,
Led Zeppelin, The Beatles,
and Air Supply), this is an
impossible category to satisfy
with an answer.
Try to construct in your head
the greatest combination of
musicians, and songs, then
multiply that by infinity.
Mathematically equating, that
scenario equals X and
Probing Digit is X+1
