State Champion has a new record called Deep Shit out on Sophomore Lounge, and the band is playing an album release show this week with Obits and Bottomless Pit . It's this Thursday (Oct. 20) at the old Pour Haus (now Club 21), and I'm not sure if the place will be standing after this hootenanny. In honor of the auspicious occasion, we're giving away a pair of tickets and the new State Champ LP on vinyl to one lucky [...]
Bottomless Pit — Pitch From Congress (EP) ( Comedy Minus One ; 2008) See what a moment can be / It can make you feel lighter, it can ruin you
Words by Brendan Sullivan I tend to seek out new music at a feverish and arguably self-destructive pace, so it's always nice when someone recommends a band to me and I end up enjoying it. Case in point: Bottomless Pit . A few weeks ago, a buddy told me about an upcoming show at Howlers that I'd probably enjoy, so after a long day at school I bussed into Bloomfield and caught an evening of four bands, capped by a stellar performance by this quartet of Chicagoans, full of mostly mellowish classic-rock guitar-driven [...]
It's hard not to read too much into Blood Under the Bridge , but that's because the album offers so much to chew on. Bottomless Pit bears more baggage from the past than probably any other underground act. For starters, there's the shadow cast by its previous incarnation as Silkworm and the distinctive sound that the songwriting duo of Andy Cohen and Tim Midgett created for that could-have-been indie favorite. But the much heavier burden for Cohen and Midgett to bear has been the sad circumstance that led to the dissolution of their previous act and the founding [...]
Bottomless Pit - "38 Souls" from the 2010 album Blood Under the Bridge on Comedy Minus One.
Back from a little summer hiatus, here's a special doubleshot edition of Drake's Take . -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 08.10.10-08.17.10 I've been out of town on vacation, so the blog's taken a backseat, but wanted to throw together something for the past two weeks because of two releases - the second release from Bottomless Pit and the finely crafted soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim vs the World . Not much else got me out of my seat, but then again, most everyone takes at least part of the [...]
Bottomless Pit was formed in the fall of 2005 by erstwhile Silkworm members Tim Midgett and Andy Cohen. Their longtime friends Chris Manfrin (Seam) and Brian Orchard (.22) complete the quartet. Blood Under the Bridge is the third record and second full-length by Bottomless Pit. The album explores the awful and thrilling randomness of fate, with a hard fix on the future. Affectionate and brusque, languid and bracing - it is nearly peerless modern postpunk. [ioda] Bottomless Pit Website Social Media: Facebook | [...]
I've been out of town on vacation, so the blog's taken a backseat, but wanted to throw together something for the past two weeks because of two releases -- the second release from Bottomless Pit and the finely crafted soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim vs the World . Not much else got me out of my seat, but then again, most everyone takes at least part of the first half or so of August off, right? Other new releases from the past couple cycles include one's from New Pornographer Kathryn Calder, Ray Lamontagne, The Budos Band, Matthew Dear, Elsinore, Eli [...]

Has it really already been three years since Bottomless Pit put out their debut Hammer of the Gods ? That just almost seems crazy to me and at the same time makes me a bit sad. It gets me wondering how little time I actually get to spend revisiting albums like that as opposed to constantly seeking out the new. No matter, Bottomless Pit have put those thoughts at ease for now as they have a new record on their hands titled Blood [...]

As a mighty heat wave continues to seize the nation, the last thing you probably want to do is scamper out into the hot sun and dance. However, this week's particularly upbeat edition of Friday Mixtape is filled with the kind of toe-tappin', finger wavin' tunes that will make you want to boogie the night away. So what is one to do when the urge to dance is strong, but the heat prevents it? Get creative with your dancing locations. A neighbor's air-conditioned home, the back of ice cream trucks, and the penguin exhibit [...]
This band really excites me. Bottomless Pit received a lot of rave reviews with their last effort, and now the band is set to return with their new album, Blood Under the Bridge , on Comedy Minus One Records . As someone who is personally tired of all the same old electronic pop music coming our way, I love the fact that this new single just rocks along, using discordant guitars to create a nice little wall of post-punk. Praise the return of guitars! [...]
