Kaleidoscope

This year marks the 10th anniversary of HoliDayton, a seasonal showcase of local music held most recently at Blind Bob's in the Oregon District.  Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt spoke with Poppy, the drummer for The Story Changes, about the annual event which features two stages of music from 10 local bands.

HoliDayton is Saturday, December 22 at Blind Bob's on 5th Street in Dayton.

Rosebush and the Pursuit of Dreams is the recently released second album in what Karan Singh envisions as a trilogy beginning with his 2010 release, Last Year's Ghosts.  With this release Singh also continues his mission of using a percentage of his album sales to help provide a lifetime of fresh water to people around the world.  So far, his work has been able to provide fresh water to 4 individuals for the rest of their lives. 

Beginning as a fundraiser for the now-closed C{space, Handmade Holiday Dayton has become a yearly must-attend event for artisans and shoppers alike.  2012 marks the first year the event will be held at the Yellow Cab Building, recent home of the Dayton Circus' yearly Side Shows, as well as the introduction of many new local and regional artisans to the show.  Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt visited the Yellow Cab building while organizers and volunteers prepared for the show and spoke with three of the Handmade Holiday organizers about this year's show.

Since their last Kaleidoscope appearance, the Dirty Socialites have gained two new members and have been busy in the studio writing and recording new material for a full length album.  They'll begin releasing new songs online on 12/12/12 until Christmas eve when the band will release a free digital holiday EP with the full length album to follow on vinyl.

The Dirty Socialites visited the WYSO studios to talk about their plans for the New Year and debut some new songs live on Kaleidoscope.  They'll perform live at Blind Bob's on Thursday, December 6, 2012.
