XD WEI - Memphis Smoke - Tues Oct 30th

XD WEI (Paul, Leo, Djeto & Xiao Dong) will be playing a full set at 9pm Tuesday 10/30 at Memphis Smoke in Royal Oak at 100 S. Main St. The Troubadours play after. No cover...

MCB Mini Review:
Along with XD was Paul Ossy (small guitar) - Djeto Juncat (guitar) - Leo Gillis (bass)

Caught most of the show which included Led Zep cover and a few really cool sounding "chinese blue grass" jams - this combo really blends well together with each player bringing a distinctive component to the song and suprisingly blending in or standing out from each other at just the right time.
Check them out at the Corktown Tavern and/or The Magic Stick on November 9th and December 15th - worth the effort for sure!

TRICK OR TREATING IN DOWNTOWN ROYAL OAK

Sunday, October 28, more than 3,000 goblins, monsters, ghosts and other-worldly creatures will descend on Downtown Royal Oak for “Spooktacular Trick or Treating”, from 2pm-4pm. Trick or treating will take place along Main Street, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Washington Avenue. “This is a great Royal Oak tradition that attracts parents and children from all over. It is our way of opening up our stores and restaurants and offering a safe and fun alternative for parents to take their kids trick or treating,” said restaurateur and DDA Board member Luigi Cutraro.
I spoke with Sylvia, owner of RISE Clothing on Washington Blvd - She was outside passing out candy to trick or treaters and mentioned that this event gets bigger and better every year.
"It's just great to see this many familys out on the street having so much fun."
We agree - BOO!
