The Henry Clay People
After spending the better part of 2012 touring in support of our new record Twenty-Five for the Rest of Our Lives, we, The Henry Clay People, are thrilled to announce that we are teaming up with the Songs For Kids Foundation, along with our buddies at ConsequenceOfSound.
net, Buzzbands.la, Origami Vinyl, Moheak Radio, and FILTER, to bring you a very special December Residency at The Satellite.
There are several reasons to celebrate:
1. This marks 10 years since the earliest incarnation of when the The HCP started bringing its brand of bratty indie rock to drunken college parties at UCSB. Since then we have played hundreds of shows
throughout North America. Southern California has always been our home. Suburban born and bred.
2. Songs For Kids, a charitable organization that sends indie rocker types to perform at Children's Hospitals throughout the country, will be on hand every week to talk about what they do and how you can
get involved in making a difference. Several members of the band have worked or volunteered for the organization. Songs For Kids is a wonderful organization and we believe in what they do.
3. The Henry Clays will be recording a LIVE ALBUM throughout the month.
4. You can pre-order the live album simply by donating whatever you want to the Songs For Kids Foundation at songsforkidsfoundation.org and keep a copy of the receipt. Or you can wait for the live album to be released in early 2013, at which point we’ll be donating the proceeds to Songs For Kids.
5. The first 3 shows (12/3, 12/10, 12/17) are FREE!
6. The last show is on New Years Eve and is only $10. The Henry Clay People have a rich history of ringing in the new year at The Satellite with an always rowdy post-midnight covers set. Audience participation strongly encouraged.
7. On 12/10 we’ll be doing an all HCP request set. Email requests to thehenryclaypeople@gmail.com
8. This will be end of drummer Eric Scott's 10 year tenure in the band. He will move on to pursue a career in architecture full time.
9. The lineups feature some of the best local bands and comedians that LA has to offer.
This residency marks the end of an era for the HCP. We will be taking some time off after these shows to regroup, reevaluate, and catch up on some much needed sleep. We want to thank everyone who has
helped us out over the past ten years: all the bands, all the folks at the shows, all the people who have shared their floor space. You are all Henry Clay People. We feel extremely lucky that we got to turn our little rock and roll hobby into a full-time thing. It was a complete accident but a very happy accident and we remain eternally grateful for the adventure.

Incan Abraham
Incan Abraham consists of two pairs of childhood friends, who parted ways, and then reunited. Teddy moved to New York in high school, but when he visited LA in early 2009, we decided to brave the coastal disparity, and form a band.
We convened in Rhinebeck, NY for a month that summer, to record our first EP in a house there. Then, in the autumn of that year, Teddy moved out West, so the project could continue. It's been all fun since then.

The Monolators
The Monolators, a trio from Los Angeles, recently issued Silver Cities, a double 12" EP, their 8th release since forming in Highland Park circa 2002. Silver Cities started from a challenge--it was one of a batch of songs written very quickly by Eli Monolator in May 2010 in an attempt to write and record a 5-song solo EP on an old 4-track deck in five days. The original version of the title song was spare, with just drum machine, one guitar, thudding bass, and vocals--but under the influence of (a) Krautrock cult group La Dusseldorf and (b) ABBA, the Monolators decided to re-record the song as a group using pianos, choral harmonies, synth leads, feedback, and swirling phaser effects. All of the other songs on the EP followed suit, and Luke Ehret (boxViolet)'s production allowed for a bigger, more orchestrated sound than anything the Monolators have yet attempted. For a band usually classified as 'garage rock' there's also a wider range of pop-informed and electronic styles than on previous Monolators records, from the Spaghetti Western/disco hybrid "I'll Be Glad When He's Gone" to the murky, dancey closer, a song about a girl with blue eyes, silver bangs, and a Ford pickup truck.
