Icarus Himself:
What first began in 2008 as a one-man-show side project by Nick Whetro under the Icarus Himself moniker has developed into an indie psych-electro-folk trio for 2010. The band-s third release, a five-song EP entitled "Mexico", was released by Madison, Wis., label Science of Sound on May 25. Leaning slightly more toward the electronic limb of the band-s sound, the songs on "Mexico" utilize a good helping of drum machine beats and baritone guitar run through effects pedals, with added noise from electric guitar, percussion and various keyboards/organs for good measure. The band-s instrumentation sets the perfect tone for Whetro-s haunted tales of death, a childhood obese babysitter and love almost lost.

This show will feature Nick Whetro solo.
