If someone had mentioned "the bathysphere" to use yesterday, I'd have pictured an atmospheric ring of bathtub scum suspended in high orbit. But apparently, the capital-B Bathysphere is a music blog based out of Columbia, MO. And we're glad we know about it now, because it's freakin' nice. Its got quite a concert reviews archive -- many in CoMo, but a few from here, the earliest KC show being Modest Mouse at City Market in 2007. Dangit! Surely I've seen this site before and just somehow forgotten. Yes, that's it -- grandpa's confused.
But I'm not confused that this here puppy is going on my computer. Behold, Bathtime, the Bathysphere's new compilation of Missouri-only indie rock. Indie bands from here to Columbia to St. Louis have contributed tracks, and all the proceeds go to -- wait! There are no proceeds! It's free! The two KC bands featured are Spidermums (now called High Diving Ponies) and I Love You. Click on the cover art above or here to get your MO-rawk on.
A few of the bands on the comp will be playing the Bathtime Festival on April 11 at Slacker's in Columbia. It, too, is free. Road trip?
