BACK GROUND:
"Ray [Thompson] from Oscillating [Fan Club] had the name, the venue ,and
the thought of it to honor Detroit. When we started getting it together,
we came across a lot of talk of it having been 40 years since the riots,
and it took shape as an expression of solidarity between the city and the
arts - Jeff Howitt" DETOUR 6/30/08

"I think the blue moon in june is best described as a mysterious
concoction of incredible music and bands and friends old and new
celebrating Detroit and Summer the way it should be, with loud,
psychedelic, garage-informed and just plain garage poppy rock. If you can
dance and you like caterpillar-like fuzzy melodies, I think you could do a
lot worse - Pierce Reynolds" Deep Cutz 6/26/08

"There are no headliners, just a sonic engine howling forth into the
Detroit night . also, it is 40 years since the Summer of Love, and as the
tale goes, it never came to Detroit, hence our '60s with Seger, MC5 and
the Stooges - Jeff Howitt" RDW 7/27/07

"This dilapidated jungle of concrete and industrial red-brick neon factory
dust is extremely fertile territory for those with over active
imaginations. To be a person born and raised here, there is a sense of
gratitude for the laborious insights and cruel lessons this city has to
offer. Without its violence, without its brutality, without its impurity,
my poetry, my writing, has no balance of muse. That is why I feel it
necessary to try and create a balance with the savage for the people of
the community. We are really in control of the future perception of what
our mystical times will bestow upon the generations of poor children who
will have to clean up this human disaster. The least I can do is bring the
creative souls, the historians, together for a cognizant brain storm of
spirit cleansing - Drew Bardo" RDW 7/27/07
