So.
Thanksgiving, anyone? Family dinners may take up your evenings, but this week’s show schedule has a lot to give this week as well.
T-minus one day till dance heaven, fueled by synthesizers, spandex and brotherhood. This Tuesday, Cabana Inn welcomes Soap dance night, featuring pulsating electro-synth-pop from Gil Mantera’s Party Dream from Youngstown, Penn., with This Is an Adventure, I Kill Pxls, Shock to the System and DJ Automaton.
The sexiest men of any national touring act, local favorites garnering national attention and improvisational dance perfection? Can you afford to miss out? Let the video below and this Spin.com article make that decision for you, friend.
Bro time. Fishnet shirts. Gil Mantera’s Party Dream. Be there.
Finch House show picks this holiday week:
Tuesday 11/24 – SOAP hosts Gil Mantera’s Party Dream, This Is an Adventure, I Kill Pxls, Shock to the System and DJ Automaton at Cabana Inn, 2525 S. Tamiami Trail, $10, 21 and up.

Hearts on Faces
For all of you that were at the other countless number of events on Nov. 14, The Equines released their first EP, Hearts on Faces. We had a beer-fueled CD factory at the Finch House in front of a bonfire Friday night, with various friends from the Sarasota music scene coming over to help. The show this past Saturday at Box Social with Villanova Junction, Andy Matchett & the Minks and MeteorEyes was a fantastic blasting of fun and imaginary balloons, for sure. Later, we recruited the Minks and a few other close friends for a fireside Beatles sing-along back at the Finch House. If you’d like to hear our EP, come on over to our site or grab one at one of our upcoming shows.
By the way, a huge thanks is due to Myles Edwin of StageFront Radio. He is responsible for all these awesome show photos, and I’ll never let him forget it.
Andy Matchett & the Minks from Orlando grace the Box Social music corner 11/14/09.
MeteorEyes surprised me with a mid-song rendition of “Elephant in the Room.”
Greg woos the crowd with his wolf hat and xylophone antics.
Mikey works the room with his party hat.
Jeannine charms the show-goers at her first show with the Equines.
And my trademark confused-concentrate face. I’ll have to work on that.
Take care, friends. We’ll see each other soon.

I attended my first party dream show at Touch Supper Club in Ohio City back in 2003 and the boys have been rockin’ spandex and synth ever since.. Do yourself a favor- Don’t miss this show!
