Space Raft “Another Holiday Is Here”
Space Raft “Another Holiday Is Here” b/w “New Years Revolution” 2017. Not vinyl but last night we went to WMSE’s Local Live at Club Garibaldi’s to see Space Raft’s holiday spectacular and picked up this hot-off-the-presses CD single (it was released 3 days ago), hear the band members’ Christmas wishes (365 pairs of socks, Nintendo and $100 gift certificate to Spencer Gifts), what Christmas means to them and their favorite holiday movies (Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, Gremlins and Scrooged). Dressed in the same holiday finery as in the hilarious video (starring a few local Bay View musical celebs) for the power pop track “Another Holiday Is Here,” (best line: “filled with Yuletide cheer and cheap Wisconsin beer”) they played that song as well as a few more in between answering audience questions and inviting a couple of other local acts (including Joe Crockett, Testa Rosa) onto stage to perform holiday-inspired songs. Space Raft did not perform the other track on the CD single, “New Years Revolution” but it is an excellently psychedelic and heavy. You can listen to the entire segment here under 12/12/2017.
