Urbana Basement presents: Champaign Attic

"Urbana Basement is an attempt to capture and preserve the wonderfully diverse music scene of Champaign-Urbana at this moment in time. We strive to provide high-quality audio and video both in our studio and on-location with the hopes of sharing performance by amazing local and regional musicians freely to all.

To this point, Urbana Basement has been funded entirely out-of-pocket by myself (not to mention the equipment and time generously donated by all the people who work with Urbana Basement: Jack Maples, JP Goguen, Alex Wicks, Keven Elens, Ashwin Torke, Jessica Roberts, Caitlin Howe, and many others). The profits from this benefit will go towards covering the recurring web hosting and storage costs to keep the videos online and UrbanaBasement.com alive for years to come!

This will also serve as the first, of hopefully many, "Urbana Basement presents Champaign Attic" shows. I'm extremely excited about capturing the energy of a live performance (with a live audience!) in a venue with as much atmosphere as the Velvet Elvis at a high caliber such that could not be offered at a traditional live show. Because the performances will be filmed and recorded, we do ask that audience members turn off all cell phones and refrain from flash photography or talking while the bands are performing. Please just enjoy the moment and the music."
