Found this one digging around the internet yesterday. The band was started as a side-project for a former member of Babyshambles, Adam Ficek. Super cool stuff.

Just Say Yes
DUE TO ILLNESS, SOUND STREAM WON’T BE PERFORMING WITH US THIS WEEKEND. WE’RE WORKING ON A MAKE-UP DATE WITH HIM NOW, AND THE PARTY GOES ON THIS WEEKEND AND THE PRICE HAS BEEN REDUCED by $5.
The weather is getting colder, but the Misters just keep getting warmer. We’re gearing up for a second round of get-down at House of Yes, a simultaneously intimate and grandiose space that feels just right. Classic hardwood floors, a cozy lounge area, and a disco ball hung from thirty feet up are just the beginning. Just say “Yes!” Holding it down on the gravity-defying turntables for the entire evening are, of course, Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin. Arrive early, and enjoy the first hour of beer on the house.
Finally, some parting words from Mister Albert Camus: “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” What he said.

Off-Topic: The Letter
No, it has nothing to do with Halloween or space, but can we all just take a minute to appreciate how amazingly Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Jim Gordon and company were nailing it back in 1970?
Mister Halloween Night: A Space Odyssey
It’s official. NASA did its final space shuttle launch in June of this year, so the Mister is answering the call of duty, grabbing the wheel and taking a trip to outer space for this year’s Mister Halloween Night. Our favorite loft, 12-turn-13, is being transformed into Apollo 12-turn-13 – a spaceship capable of traveling to distant planets in but a few hours.
Captains Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter will be piloting the ship all night, a large window into the cosmos has been designed by first mate Doctor Mojo (we call him Number One), and inflatable spaceship things will be installed by Jeffrey Ralston (we call him Data).
Astral outfits will be rewarded with an on-the-house drink. Think constellations, alien life forms (yes, that is a hint that we want you to dress up as ALF), astronauts and anything else that will make you feel at home in space. If you want some inspiration, check the trailers for Fifth Element, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barbarella, Buck Rogers and Spaceballs. Remember that the more group costumes on the spaceship, the farther and faster it’ll travel (yes, that is a hint that we want to see the entire crew of the Enterprise onboard).
Boarding is at 10pm. Get there soon after. It would be a shame to miss liftoff.
Mister Halloween Night: A Space Odyssey
aboard Apollo 12-turn-13

Heart Trouble
It seems Eamon and I are on a classic music kick with our Son House and Duke Ellington posts this week. I was going through my 45s a couple nights ago, and I found this gem by Billy Lewis. Thought it would go right along with the theme.
