Aleks & The Ramps
http://www.myspace.com/aleksandtheramps
The ramps accidentally formed in 2005. They perform a hyperactive brand of indie rock with vigour that oscillates between razor sharp proficiency and haphazard fervour. Sometimes they present themselves in ill-fitting uniforms of suburban sports teams or kitten-worshipping cults, sometimes they just wear whatever. Regardless of attire, an aleks & the ramps performance is a kinda like a coked up beach boys/sonic youth tribute band from a hypothetical Todd Solondz film, but then again, kinda not…
Aleks & The Ramps will be releasing their new album "Midnight Believer" at the show.
Mixylodian

Joining Aleks and The Ramps is close friend Mike, fresh off the plane from his hometown, Montreal. The band he fronts, Mixylodian, is an electro/indie project consisting of himself and a revolving cast of humans, gameboys, samplers and backing tracks. On this particular tour, he'll be playing some songs solo, and some with a backing band, on this occasion, his backing band will be Aleks and The Ramps!
Paint Your Golden Face
