Falling the chasm of Christ.
Become dirty time Worlds are alive Wasting no time the bells they sound in the tea False sitting light Separate to snatch you O the wicked star Walking on the gallows Crippled by feel my trolling hill Hanging from the gallow Rock on your mo.
Did you think that this was awful all for you did you think that I wouldn't see this say this through Try to blind me with your hair turn and your creed Thinking you'd be the only thing that I'd ever need.
It's.

We like to catch up with them once a week whenever possible possible. And guys, what is going on with our Band show this week?
[00:17:23] Speaker C: Thank you very much bj and welcome in to our Band Show. Patrick W. Huber here, producer and director for an amazing team of recording artists aimed to film musicians in the Hudson Valley area and beyond.
I'm super excited that April Fools is over.
Not sure I can stand another AI generated joke coming across the feed on my phone. However, hyping great music is no joke. This last month we've been highlighting some enjoyable tunes from all over New York State.
We've been leaning heavily into the Kingston area since our most recent work is from this past year's O Positive Festival.
Which, by the way, they're gearing up for the 15th annual festival later this year in early October. If you haven't checked out their website, submissions are open. If you're a band and you're looking for a cool place to perform, this may be it. Kingsit is not that far away from the 518.
If you remember, our ban show filmed three solid bands at the amazing assembly venue in Kingston. Overheard, Big Girl and Wild Pink. We just finished posting the entire set from Overheard. This includes some of their songs off their debut LP LP Intertwined released through Drama Day Records. It has been a fantastic project to work on with their mix of folk, psych and grunge music.
That is why this week I want to spotlight a double feature and present to you. Overheard's quasi moon and unravel, recorded live at the 2025 O Positive Fest.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Sa.
Something.
In a moment of peace everyone feels like.
So it feels right to choose like this in danger.
You pushing out of your fe.
Act like everything's fine Keep on hiding your.
Realize you suffer as you see you just see through you just see through.
Sam.
Thoughts on the fold Tangle threats me out of gold Soft small heart of gold don't let me unravel.
To world sunder sa.

Trace each vein on my skin Take you lip and war Tribute from within memory.
Ram.
Many times.
Gone too far make it rise Sam.
Thank you, thank you. We've been Overheard happy O Positive.

Big girls on the horizon. So keep an eye out for our post featuring this Brooklyn based indie band with a love for theatre.
