Mr. Freshy will be packin’ pitas for your pleasure all night! If you haven’t heard, this is some of the most delicious food found at any festival in the entire Midwest. Mr. Freshy was such a smash hit last summer that we decided to bring him to Cincinnati for all our friends and fans to enjoy!
Music will be starting early with Magnarini Paradise Band at 9:20 sharp. This band only performs once a year as a part of this new tradition! Shank Bones will be next on the night. Skeetones are closing the night out and it’s sure to be wild!

For the past six months, Cincinnati’s Skeetones have been steadily increasing their hold on the Midwest livetronica scene, appearing at countless festivals like Rootwire and the forthcoming Big Pig Music Festival. During that time, they released a full-length album, Retrospektive, as well as a follow-up featuring live-PA versions, remixes, and rarities from the album and beyond. Everyone at The Untz holds a special place in their hearts for live electronic music, and TheUntz.com 2011 Digital Music Sampler would be a mighty sad collection without Skeetones in the 7-spot.
Skeetones’ contribution to the sampler, “1100,” is deceptively simple. A four-chord organ pattern provides an introductory fanfare, which is followed up by a barrage of live drums. This fill brings that organic percussion to the forefront, a key element in the Skeetones live show, which is why the band is garnering fans by the bucketload. That hook-laden groove continues throughout the track, echoing towards a climax that gains even more intensity from hip-hop samples and increasingly violent wobbles. Look out.
We are proud to be a part of the 2011 Digital Music Sampler being distributed by TheUntz.com at every stop of the Identity Festival Tour. Grab a free download from us and some of the top names in electronic music today including Bassnectar, EP3, Thievery Corporation, FreQ Nasty, Future Rock, LoBounce and so much more!
“Retrospektive Remixes & Live PA Rarities” is now available as a free download. The album includes four brand new, original productions rarely performed live as “Skeetones Live PA” as well as five remixes of songs from “Retrospektive” from DJ Stump, B!tch Please, Burgle, DJ Belly, and DWB.
In honor of Skeetones’ new album, a special $6 pre-sale ticket price is available through Skeetones while supplies last! The release of Skeetones’ Live PA and Remix album showcases the production prowess of these talented instrumentalists. Both one original and one remix have leaked, but the rest won’t drop until this party starts! You can listen to the two tracks from the upcoming album here:
Contact a Skeetones member or email evan@skeetones.com to get your $6 pre-sale ticket.
UV HIPPO
Ultraviolet Hippopotamus is an explosive five piece band from Grand Rapids. Hailed as “Michigan’s premier improvisational rock band, this touring juggarnaut commands respect with their technical abilities coupled with heartfelt original tunes.” -Greg Molitor(MusicMarauders)
YAMN
Close your eyes and feast your ears upon Yamn, a smooth sonic explosion born in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Four years and 100,000 road miles after they met in cold and snowy Breckenridge, Colo., the trance-fusion rockers have built a vision, a future toward which they’ll launch headfirst, no-holds-barred, with smiles and an insatiable vigor. www.yamnit.com
