The Daytrotter Sessions


The Daytrotter Sessions are a musical endeavor done by Futureappletree Studio 1 which can be found in downtown Rock Island, IL. The goal of these recording sessions isn't to provide you with something you've never heard before, but rather present you a new sound from bands you may already know and of course some you don't. While touring the country, the bands involved in the Daytrotter Sessions, take 2 hours out of their day to play some borrowed instruments and record a few unreleased or reworked songs. Their efforts produce a result that on occasion may turn out better than what the bands have put out on record. All recordings are live, no overdubs, what gets played in the studio is what gets put on tape.

A recent addition to the Daytrotter Sessions comes from the Seattle-based group Minus The Bear. After just re-releasing their EP, The Make Beer Commercials Like This, on vinyl, the guys from Minus The Bear took time out of their busy schedule to record four songs off of Planet of Ice for the Daytrotter sessions. The four songs can be heard below.
