LP RELEASE “TIMES NEW ROMAN”
JUNE 24th, MAGIC BAG
After two years in the studio Dutch Pink is set to release their fourth album, “Times New Roman” on Thursday, June 24th at the Magic Bag Theater in collaboration with the Loco Gnosis Collective.
Dutch Pink, (Dustin Leslie, Clyde Mashinter, and David Iannuzzi) a Ferndale based trio, has stood brazen against tinselly musical trends since their inception in 2004. Their music has been described as “A twisted indie-fed take on American roots music” (MT 2008) and also “raw, eclectic, and sometimes savage alt-folk” (Detroit Free Press 2007).
Written in the spring of 2008 and recorded by Dan Currie at “The Bunker” in Royal Oak, “Times New Roman” is Dutch Pink’s most deliberate work to date. It is a narrative driven album that reflects a band wholly comfortable with their voice. Murder ballads, heartbreak, and hope entangled with a blue-collared verve.
Doors for the Thursday, June 24th show open at 8pm.
Show begins at 9.
The door cost is $7.
Free album download for all in attendance, also available a limited edition vinyl release.
Opening acts: The Juliets and Faux Paws.
Bicycle Valet provided by Defying the Law (Ferndale Bicycle Club).

I had the luxury of getting into St Andrews Hall last night on MCB's dime to catch the Broken Bells show. I arrived at the perfect time....the opening band was nowhere to be seen and the roadies were just about finished setting up. After I ordered a Rolling Rock, a projection started beaming to the tune of a lullaby-esque melody. Broken Bells pretty much ran through the extent of their debut album's tracklist. Unsure of how the tranferrance from recording to live performance would be, it came off stunningly well...just as verbatim as Interpol's live shows. After never having the opportunity to see Mercer or Dangermouse live in their other outfits, they proved to be a great combination of a multi-intrumentalist and an outstanding vocalist. Standout performances of the night included "Vaporize", "The High Road", "October", and a cover of The Miracles' "You Really Got A Hold On Me". The only downside to the show was how stuffy and sweat-inducing St Andrews can get. Towards the middle of the encore I was pleasantly waiting to go outside for some fresh air. Other than that, it was a great show. I highly suggest catching Broken Bells live on tour or at least picking up their record.
For tour dates and record info, visit brokenbells.com
If you would like something revued by the legendary -jr, feel free to mail hard-copies to 11859 Sycamore, Plymouth, Mi. 48170....and I am partial to vinyl.

The Candles - Magic Stick Detroit - Tues 6/8
The Candles Touring in support of debut album
Between The Sounds
The Candles are proud to announce the release
of their debut album Between The Sounds,
which is the first album from singer/songwriter Josh Lattanzi.
The songs are based on the experiences and influences he’s picked up while recording and touring with the likes of Ben Kweller, Albert Hammond, Jr. (The Strokes) and Tinted Windows. The Candles combine elements of the 70s and 90s, creating a sound that will find fans amongst those who like Jackson Browne, Wilco and the Lemonheads.
SPIN Magazine agrees, saying “It's a vibe we've heard resurrected before, but when executed with Lattanzi's emotional precision and sure sense of craft it still holds the power to be as moving as watching the sun set over Topanga Canyon.” The Deli Magazine has gone on to name The Candles one of NYC Artists on the Rise.
The band recently played SXSW, completed a run of dates with Evan Dando
and has the below confirmed shows:
06/06/10 @ Shuba’s – Chicago,IL w/ Trashcan Sinatras
06/07/10 @ Shank Hall – Milwaukee,WI w/ Trashcan Sinatras

Dunkin' Donuts National Donut Day - June 4th 2010
CELEBRATES NATIONAL DONUT DAY
WITH NATIONWIDE FREE DONUT OFFER
Dunkin’ Donuts to also announce winner of “Create Dunkin’s Next Donut” contest
Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, is making National Donut Day a little sweeter with a special free nationwide donut offer to help people celebrate the joy and fun of donuts. On June 4, 2010, Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide and throughout metro Detroit will offer every guest a free donut of their choice, with the purchase of any beverage, limit one per customer.
Also on National Donut Day, Dunkin' Donuts will announce the winner of its second annual "Create Dunkin's Next Donut" contest. From nearly 90,000 donut creations submitted online, a dozen finalists traveled to Dunkin’ Donuts University in Braintree, Massachusetts earlier this month to compete in a bake-off competition before Dunkin’ Donuts’ culinary team and company leaders. One of the 12 finalists will win a $12,000 grand prize and have their winning donut sold in participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants throughout the country.
National Donut Day, held the first Friday of June each year, was founded by the Chicago Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the women who served donuts to soldiers in World War I. According to John Costello, Chief Global Customer and Marketing Officer at Dunkin’ Brands, Dunkin’ Donuts is making it easy and affordable for people to enjoy this event. “Donuts have a special place in our country’s history and culture, creating moments of genuine delight and bringing people together at home, work and at play,” he said. “To celebrate this American classic snack, we invite everyone to visit Dunkin’ Donuts on National Donut Day to enjoy a free donut with any beverage purchase."

Sweltering heat, lots of flesh, threats from a douchebag, and plenty of Red Bull made for an eventful Memorial Day Weekend for myself, as well as thousands of others! But, throughout it all, the most important aspect of the weekend, the music, remained strong as ever. Plastikman, John Aquaviva, Derrick May, and the highlight of my weekend, Inner City, to name a few. Well done, Detroit, you represented yourselves perfectly this weekend. I am proud of you all. Enjoy the shots.
And lest I forget, thank you to Jennifer and Maggie at Red Bull for both their patience, as well as keeping me well hydrated during the weekend. Remember, MCB has your back!

It's bigger, hotter, and it's coming to Detroit. Question is, are you? From the Biggest names in the business to defiant fashion-capital designs, lush cuisine to luminous parties, this is fashion fête at its fiercest. It's our 11th celebration and the as per usual, we've outdone ourselves. With names like Jerrid Mooney, Jen Knapp, and Rich Rice on the list, we don't really have to explain, you get the picture. With more than 40 of Detroit's trendiest restaurants and bars, and the hottest music and beats surrounding the event, attendees get to experience a cocktail explosion for their senses. But don't just take our word for it, come experience it for yourself.
BravoBravo! is a celebration of the tastes, sights and sounds of Detroit – all in support of Michigan Opera Theatre and the Detroit Opera House. In its 11 years, BravoBravo! has become the party to see and be seen, as each year, more than 2,000 young professionals come out to party for a cause. This year’s event is co-chaired by three of Detroit’s most involved young professionals: Jerrid Mooney, Jen Knapp, and Rich Rice.
More than 40 of Detroit’s trendiest restaurants and bars provide scrumptious food and the latest in libations. Each room of the opera house is filled with music, a variety of sounds by local bands and musicians emanating from every corner of the Opera House.
Last year’s event sold out with a record 2,000 guests in attendance and total revenues totaling over $180,000. Our goal for 2010 is to raise $250,000. Funds generated from BravoBravo! are used to support Michigan Opera Theatre’s artistic and educational endeavors, and the continued improvement and sustainability of the Detroit Opera House. Since its inception in 1996, BravoBravo! has raised more than $833,000, making this one of MOT’s largest fundraisers. BravoBravo! is also one of Michigan Opera Theatre’s largest volunteer-coordinated events and is credited with introducing many new people to the Detroit Opera House, laying the ground work for the next generation of avid supporters. This year, BravoBravo! takes on a fashion theme, showcasing an artistic industry that has long lived under the radar in Detroit. Experience Haute Couture with a Detroit edge as it moves off the runway and inside the corridors of the opulent Detroit Opera House. This year’s event also features a fashion design competition, coordinated by Ohm Creative Group. The competition, which runs during the weeks prior to the event, will allow designers from the local area to submit their designs to www.bravobravo.org. The designer with the most votes will be featured during BravoBravo! as well as win two tickets to BravoBravo and a feature article in 994 Magazine.
