The Spinto Band, Illinois and Slo-Mo along with MAD Dragon recording artists Hoots & Hellmouth and The Swimmers will take the stage on February 6th at 7 PM at the Mandell Theater (33rd & Chestnut Sts.). The concert is free to Drexel students with ID and $10 to the public. The concert will be simulcast on Drexel's radio station, 91.7 WKDU.

Hoots & Hellmouth and The Swimmers represent MAD Dragon Records, Drexel's award winning student-run record label. Hoots & Hellmouth have spent the past few months recording a new album, produced by Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man). The Swimmers and Hoots & Hellmouth were just named by Magnet Magazine as two Philadelphia bands defining the shape of local music. Click here to read the story.

Delaware-based The Spinto Band, with two big selling albums to their credit, will headline the show. The College Media Journal (CMJ) said of Bucks County-based Illinois, "they're just fun to watch." And, Slo-Mo, a Philadelphia hip-hop/bluegrass band will round out the impressive line-up of local rising music stars.

The concert will be recorded for broadcast at a later date on DUTV, Drexel's television station. The MAD Dragon Concert is made possible through the generous support of the Kal and Lucille Rudman Institute for Entertainment Industry Studies.
