Halloween is here…what better way to spend it than hearing things go Bumpus in the night?

MB’s own James Johnston and Travis Chandler are in Bumpus, a Chicago music group that plans to “go old school and return to their roots” at this weekend’s show.

Terrible Spaceship, an ‘ambient synthetic horror pop’ ensemble comprised of Bumpus members and folks from Mightybytes, performed their very first show at Martyrs in early September.

The experience was a well-received sensory overload of music, performance and synced video clips that captured audience attention and got the crowd moving. The show gave us an opportunity to experiment with triggering visuals and creating real-time motion graphics on-the-fly using an M-Audio Trigger Finger and new software from Arkaos called Grand VJ.
