What Daytrotter is About:
"What Daytrotter is attempting to do is to not kid around with you and tell you that we found something that you never knew existed. We’re going to give you something that you truly have never heard. We’re giving you exclusive, re-worked, alternate versions of old songs and unreleased tracks by some of your favorite bands and by a lot of your next favorite bands."
Daytrotter Sessions:
"These fine people – as they’re traveling through America’s heartland – take two hours out of their travels between shows to stop in for a Daytrotter Session at Futureappletree Studio One in downtown Rock Island, Ill. They use borrowed instruments, play with their touring mates, utilize an often unkempt toilet, eat some food and then cram back into their vans for the last half of the drive. What they leave behind is a pile of ashes, sometimes a forgotten stocking hat and four absolutely collectible songs that often impart on whomever listens to them the true intensity that these musicians put into their art, sometimes with more clarity than they do when they have months to tinker with overdubs and experiments. These songs are them as they are on that particular day, on that particular tour – dirty and alive. We want you to make this your new home as it is ours. We promise that you will love it here."
This trip will be amazing! First off, we are truly lucky that Daytrotter is only 2 hours away from ISU. Second, we are lucky that Sean Moeller has given us a chance to see the behind the scenes of the unique studio, promoter and booking agency that is Daytrotter.
If have questions or if you're interested in going email Brandon at bpacyna@ilstu.edu. We'll carpool, leave at 9am and make a day of it. Tell your friends!
