This Saturday evening, local act Epileptic Peat will be playing its final show in State College.

The send-off show will also feature local power-pop act Danny and the Bygones, jazz singer and pianist Sarah Holgate and New Hampshire band Picnic Casket.

Pete Rains, front man for Epileptic Peat, put the show together as a "thank-you" to those who have come out to see him over the years.

He graduates at the end of this semester and plans to move to Brooklyn where he will pursue music further.

Rains has been making music as Epileptic Peat since he was signed to Shaman Records four years ago, but he has been self-releasing his recordings ever since the label went bankrupt.

He has kept a do-it-yourself attitude since he started at Penn State University, having played more than 150 shows and doing most of the booking on his own time.

Despite some discouragement as a unique musician who writes original material in a town riddled with late-night cover bands, Rains has remained true to the State College music scene by playing most of those 150 shows in the area.

"Music is all I want to do ... I'm not my job, I'm not my career; that's not who I am. I'll get a job to allow me to do what I want to do, and that's make music," he said.

Rains' love of music is what will take him to Brooklyn at the beginning of the summer to spread his unique sound that he initially described as "experimental indie."

After saying that title was clichéd, he gave a different answer.

"It's something that you've never heard -- that I can promise," he said.

Local act Danny and the Bygones will also be playing with Epileptic Peat.

Danny Greene, the band's singer/songwriter, said his band writes experimental power pop that lends itself more toward the studio.

However, he assured students that it will come together well for the show.

Greene said he hopes there will be a good turnout for this show, which is "geared towards unique individual composers."
