IPR’s “The Scene” to Feature The Bonesetters
From The Bonesetters:
“Muncie-bred and Indianapolis-raised, we make music in old duplexes and share them with all kinds of alternative environs. We breathe in quiet sounds, and exhale louder sounds. A good mixture of western swing, surf rock, blues and images meant for dreams. We like you!”
Any time I get the opportunity to promote one of my favorite local bands I will capture the moment. The Bonesetters have been nothing short of brilliant for those of us watching. Their ability to continually get gigs while being proactive in the social media community is extremely developed for a local indie band. Lead singer, Dan Snodgrass is not only extremely talented as a musician, but also admirably talented when it comes to engagement. Snodgrass promotes his band, shares video clips of songs he loves, and shares his opinions on certain local topics. He understands his ability to self-market with free tools and executes. He is a bonafide marketer who just happens to front a great band and has amazing writing skills coupled with a Jeff Buckleyesque inflection.
Thought on Tracks friends The Bonesetters will be on Indiana Public Radio’s The Scene on Saturday, December 3 at 10 p.m. with Chicago’s Santah. This performance was recorded live at the now defunct Vollrath Tavern in Indianapolis.
Congratulations to the Bonesetters on a flawless year of music from a local standpoint. Let’s hope 2012 gets you guys recognized on the national stage. You deserve it.

Tonight: The War on Drugs at Radio Radio
The War on Drugs have been buzzing since the release of Slave Ambient earlier this fall. It brings the team at Thought on Tracks great joy to see Bloomington, Indiana based Secretly Canadian continue to pump out great record after great record. Timing is everything in our world. There could not have been a better time for The War on Drugs to hit the indie rock big screen with their recent spot on Pitchfork.tv
Front man, Adam Granduciel declares that they “pretty much try to approach the live version in the same kind of spirit that the recordings are in.” After a couple months of absorbin Slave Ambient, tonight is Indianapolis’ chance to turn off the record player, get in the car, and head out to Radio Radio. From all of our previous posts and this video I believe The War on Drugs spirit will be alive as they “Come to the City.” Purchase Tickets.
