Band of the Week: We Are Like the Spider

About the band --
Here are some badass things about We Are Like the Spider that make them different from other Springfield bands:

1. They play electronic music.
2. They wear a lot of make-up.
3. They don’t play indie-pop, but they still use tambourines.
4. It’s hard to tell what the hell is going on most of the time (in a good way).
5. Their song “Shame.”
6. Their artwork is as good as 95 percent of the stuff you’ll see at Art Walk.
7. The vocals on the song “Lightning Garden” would scare the hell out of Marilyn Manson, but the music itself is kind of fun and dance-y.

When you can see them --

When:  Saturday, November 1
Where: Club 220 Sushi Bar
             220 W. Walnut, Springfield
Cost:     Free!
Ages:  18 and up
The show is in the spirit of Halloween and Dias de los Muertos, the three-day Mexican holiday that honors and celebrates loved ones who have passed away. There will be a contest for best costume/make up. The band will be giving a prize out to the winner. Dressing up is encouraged, but not required.
