Snowmine at Cake Shop
This post is a few weeks late but I wanted to hype Snowmine, a band that I only discovered at the same show that Party Supplies performed at earlier this month. It’s been a long time since I showed up at a gig and fell in love with a band I had never heard heard of…I think these guys could be on the path to big things in 2012.

(The Party Supplies Setup)
Justin Nealis aka Party Supplies did a quick set Thursday night at Cake Shop. He’s made a name for himself in 2011 as the guy who remixes indie tracks live via MPC, generating a ton of energy just by pushing some buttons.
