Ballbag (LIVE at the SWAMP) November 21, 2008

  • 10 years ago
Six years before Neil deGrasse Tyson revived Carl Sagan's "Cosmos," four young men at the Swamp in Carbondale, IL paid tribute to the stars with a droning elegy.

James McKain, Matt Lind, Brandon Beachum and Tom Vasilj briefly formed "Ballbag" on the night of November 21, 2008. This special improv unit has never since performed together as the original lineup. Please enjoy this super important audio/video document. Smithsonian type shit right here.
