Santah has been all over the place lately and I am sure it is due their signing to No Sleep Records and releasing their debut White Noise Bed back in June. They recorded a session for Daytrotter that came out last month, and now have released a tremendous session with Audiotree.
Santah is recording a live session for Epitonic at Saki on Dec. 4th at 5:30pm. The last Epitonic live session was last month with YAWN.

Stolen Silver on Rooftop Sessions
Even though their self-titled debut album came out back in July, Stolen Silver feels like a duo built for the bitter cold of the Chicago winter. You can feel and see what I mean in their recent rooftop performance for Rooftop Sessions of the track "Please Stay Strong". You can grab their album through bandcamp, and you can chack Stolen Silver on the WGN Morning News on December 28th.

The instrumental power trio Electric Hawk is releasing their self-titled debut album on December 15th with a performance with Brokeback at Strobe Session (2631 Division). The trio of Graham Mclachlan, Noah Leger, and Michael Burns all met while performing as part of the live band for Blue Man Group. The album that three produced is dark, driving, and aggressive. The band has recently opened for bands like Fu Manchu and Helmet and promise to represent their album well on the 15th.
The last I heard there were very few spots left for the Stobe Session taping and release. If you are interested rsvp to strobesessions@gmail.com.
