Good Girls Being Bad: A Zebra Experiment
The MCB “Bad Girls” met up at the Garden Bowl to say haaay to Kirk and Shane before we booked down to see Prodigy. They were fucking killer and the mosh pit was cool too. Until some douche bag thought he would push RebeccaMich into the pit. Um yeah I made sure he apologized before kicking his ass out. Rebecca had on some killer green tights and fishnets and I had a Zebra body suit on. We had a picture but it’s so hot you’d Jizz in your pants. The crowd went wild for Smack My Bitch Up and while RebeccaMich cried, Maxim Realty called me out for being a Zebra (he loves a Zebra and the Zebra loves him). After the show we met up with them and got their autographs before heading home for a quick 3-hour nap before driving to Toronto.
So after a half hour of trying to find the bridge we drove through the Iowa of Canada (which uses dead animal fertilizer if you ask us). After our two-hour hard-core rapathon and a great Karaoke cover of Fuck the Police we noticed the police. They were following us and we out ran those bitches. I mean come on they are Canadian how hard can that be. Really how is someone supposed to drive 80 kay em slash h? That’s like 40. On an expressway? And is Tim Horton’s kidding with that one ply napkin fake toilet paper? And why don’t you take Visa? And if Canada isn’t the 51st State why does all of Canada take US currency?
After getting into Toronto we met up with Sean, Michelle and Napoleon (Thanks so much). Who took us down to see a city wide Contact Photography Exhibit. I was very impressed with the work of Louis Helbig and the Alberta Tar Sands. Sean then took us over to GalleryDK where there were some fantastic shots of Detroit. Being passionate about the city it turned into a lively discussion fast. Sunday we did what we like best and did some Explornation in a few abandoned buildings (nope not telling) and then headed home.
We almost didn’t make it through the border crossing. I started to freak out, not because of the Cuban Cigars in the trunk but because my Passport was expired. Somehow we charmed out way back in. We were so excited to get back in the US of A and drive 80 on the express way when quickly got cut off by some Eastside douche that then gave us the finger. Warning NEVER DO THIS as we will FUCKIN GIVER’!!!! And we did. A couple of well chucked apples set them straight.
Monday we took care of very important business we ate, joined a gym, and bought a kiddie pool and a VCR, soon we hope to have the Living Room Channel (Photos to follow). We also had a zebra sighting……
Tuesday’s are always the hottest Club Night in Tokyo and at dinner Blon D Troit and I were talking about people who try to hang. Blon D made a killer comment of “You don’t have to keep up, just show up.” Here here! Words of wisdom for you out there who want to run with our gang. We had to reschedule our Wednesday in Windsor because Shane chickened out (back of the line Shane). Oh and I got mucho action this week with a kiss from the lunch lady and a firm handshake. KILLER!!!!
Look out for next weeks column were we will give you update on my travels up North, RebeccaMich’s attending a Fish Themed Party and NINJA! Oh and we can’t forget the Australian Ginger Dick with the Thunder from Down Under!

FREE MP3: Kim Lenz - "Touch Me" - no detroit tour date yet
Kim Lenz has established herself as much more than just the top modern rockabilly songstress with a pair of widely praised albums for Hightone Records and rapturously received performances across the world. She embodies everything that is thrilling, provocative, and rebellious about rock’s origins.In the spirit of the adventure and independence that runs through her music, the Los Angeles based singer-songwriter-guitarist has started her own label to release her third album It’s All True!, which she also produced.The album is a flaming slab of fuel-injected contemporary rockabilly that shows off Kim’s romp-stomping vocal chops and the wide scope of her playing and songwriting.
“Touch Me” starts things off with an instantly memorable hook that sounds as dangerous as it is sexy. “Zombie For Your Love” innovatively marries a hillbilly vocal melody to B-movie imagery. The honeyed and melancholic “I Break A Heart Every Night” slows things down before “Shined Up and Ready to Shout” ends the album with a rumble that invites you to the wildest night out of the year! The album has the spirit of the great female rockabilly pioneers like Wanda Jackson and the late Janis Martin, with whom Lenz has shared many a stage, and adds to it Kim’s inimitable voice that can switch from seductive to heartbroken to gritty within the span of a single song.
The new album also captures the fearsome instrumental firepower of the Jaguars – guitarist Nick Curran, bassist Jake Erwin, and drummer Scotty Tecce – and a guest vocal appearance by Southern California’s soulful rockabilly maestro Big Sandy. The 12 tracks include seven Kim Lenz originals, a track co-written by Kim and Big Sandy, a number crafted expressly for Kim by the Lucky Stars’ Sage Guyton, and two rampaging covers.

What happens when the honeymoon ends?
In the case of Chicago duo Post Honeymoon, a couple starts making beautiful music together. The newlywed band of vocalist/keyboardist Rachel Shindelman and drummer/bassist/vocalist Nick Kraska had originally played together in popular synth-punk outfits Bang! Bang! (Morphius Records) and New Black (Thick/Southern). Following the demise of their former bands and their ensuing marriage, Nick and Rachel formed Post Honeymoon and began winning over Windy City audiences with their stripped-down and dark, churning rock.
Post Honeymoon soon hit the studio to record its self-titled debut (watch a short in-studio clip here) which has been said to echo the sultry and urgent sounds of Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Motels, Suicide and Love & Rockets (minus the guitars). Post Honeymoon's roots go back to a summer night in 2001, when Nick met Rachel and brought her to a show at Chicago's Empty Bottle. It took them three years to start playing together and another three to get married, go on their first vacation and start their own outfit.
The band's debut self-titled disc is scheduled for release June 9th via the Chicago collective record label, Two Thumbs Down (The Hood Internet, Sleep Out). Upon the album's release, Post Honeymoon will embark on a nationwide U.S. tour (please see full dates below) -- we were unable to confirm at this writing if the duo's van will be dragging empty cans strung to the bumper and "post honeymoon" written on the windows in soap.

DETROIT RIVER SERVES AS RACE TRACK FOR THE THIRD STOP
OF THE RED BULL AIR RACE
DETROIT RIVER SERVES AS RACE TRACK FOR THE THIRD STOPOF THE RED BULL AIR RACE
Global Motorsport Soars Between Two Countries
on June 13 and 14 2009
The Red Bull Air Race World Championship pilots are tuned up and ready to face the daunting Detroit River track June 13 and 14. With 750,000 fans attending both days of the race in 2008, the race will be once again a must see event hosted by Windsor, Ontario. The excitement kicks off June 12 in Detroit with various Red Bull Air Race concerts, parties and special events leading up to Race Day.
The 2009 six-city worldwide tour kicked off in Abu Dhabi, UAE on April 17 and 18, where 2008 World Champion Hannes Arch won the race. San Diego hosted the second stop of this year’s World Championship on May 9 and 10 where Nicolas Ivanoff of France took home first place. The third race of the season on June 13 and 14 is officially hosted by Windsor, Ontario with strong support and cooperation from the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, City of Detroit and Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau to ensure a stellar Detroit spectator experience equal to 2008.
Qualifying will take place on Saturday, June 13, and Race Day will take place on Sunday, June 14. The Red Bull Air Race World Championship revamped its already successful race format in the 2009 season as part of its quest to perfect scoring and spectator enjoyment. The new format features a Qualifying Day with all pilots racing to be one of the ten fastest to take them directly through to the Top 12 session on Race Day. For the first time ever, Qualifying will also be a race for one championship point which will be awarded to the pilot with the best time in Qualifying.
The new format will also be adopted to accommodate the largest field expansion ever in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship – from 12 pilots in 2008 to 15 in 2009.
The expansion includes four rookie pilots from four continents who join the seasoned pros this year. At age 25, Canada’s Pete McLeod will be the youngest ever pilot in the high-speed, precision flying race and will be joined by three other rookies - Japan’s Yoshihide Muroya, Australia’s Matt Hall and Germany’s Matthias Dolderer.
These elite 15 of the world’s best pilots will push their skills to the limit, flying through the challenging, twisting race tracks just feet above the water with points awarded for the fastest times and least number of penalties.
Spectators will have the opportunity to experience the best view of the track and excellent sound including on-site activities from the two countries – once again, the Detroit Riverfront will offer a spectacular view of the race along with concessions, music and fun for the entire family.
Tickets for the Red Bull Air Race weekend are $35 for a 2-day general admission pass and can be purchased and printed at home from www.redbullairrace.com.
Other activities include a Red Bull Air Race Terminal in the lobby of the GM Renaissance Center featuring interactive displays, live music and aircraft displays, and for those over 21, a $5 pub crawl on Saturday, June 13.
For updated entertainment schedules and tickets,
visit www.redbullairrace.com
New this year, fans can watch the last three seasons of the Red Bull Air Race on Hulu, at www.hulu.com/redbullairrace and of course day to day coverage from MOTORCITYBLOG who will have 4 media pros onsite for both days of the event.

Cars & Stars @ Music Hall June 12 2009
WHAT? Cars & Stars 2009
WHERE? Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts
WHEN? Friday, June 12th
WHO? Featuring a very special commissioned work performed by legendary dancer, Savion Glover accompanied by Jeff “Tain” Watts, in the round, which includes concert and dinner.
WHY: A major year-end fundraiser for Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts.
On June 12th, 2009, Music Hall presents its 8th annual Cars & Stars Fundraiser with a three-tiered way to a great night in Detroit! Dance legend, Savion Glover and premier Jazz drummer and band leader, Jeff “Tain” Watts, will present a one-of-a-kind music / dance performance on the main stage with David Kikoski- piano, James Genus-bass and Marcus Strickland –tenor/soprano Saxes.
It’s the party of the year! An elegant night of sights, sounds and movement as Music Hall opens its doors to present an exclusive in-house event for Cars & Stars. The evening commences with a VIP Patron cocktail party on-stage, a buffet dinner, performance with dessert and dancing to follow on the historic Music Hall main stage.
The Music Hall Supporter ticket ($125) includes cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the Tina and Leland Bassett Lounge, the performance, with dessert and dancing to follow on the historic Music Hall main stage.
NOTE * There will be a limited balcony seating for the public, with tickets priced at $25 and does not include any of the VIP or Supporter perks.
In a year that has seen drastic changes in the auto industry due to the current economic climate, Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts is still committed to these great Detroit-based auto corporations who have helped make it possible through their generous funding, in bringing decades of great performances in countless genres and artistic disciplines to Music Hall and every cultural institution that these valuable Funds and Foundations help sustain.
Now, we are asking for individuals to help us bridge this shortfall, and in return, Music Hall is offering a three-tiered patronage package that includes a night of Jazz, dinner and dancing in one of the city’s most beautiful and historic performance arts venues.
The 2009 Cars & Stars Fundraiser is also a time to say, “Thank-you” to: The Ford Motor Company Fund, the Chrysler Foundation and the General Motors Foundation for their continued support over the years. While it’s true that due to current economic conditions these great champions for the arts have been unable to help cultural institutions including Music Hall this year as they have in the past, Music Hall still sees it as an important gesture to both the auto companies and the performing arts community that we carry on this message to the public.
THE PERFORMING ARTS NEEDS A STRONG AUTO INDUSTRY!
Tickets available at Music Hall Box Office and Ticketmaster.com

Melody (live acoustic) from Kate Earl on Vimeo.
And now a few words from Kate Earl herself...
"I have so many hours of dreaming logged in at my parents gas station in Chugiak, Alaska. Ring up a customer- dream, stock the shelves-dream, mop the floors- dream, plow the snow-dream… I had spent my whole life in this remote town asking the question “what am i gonna do with myself if i stay here?” so as soon as I had saved enough for a ticket and a guitar I moved to LA.I needed to find out… my Dutch/Welsh father dropped out of 6th grade to survive the Great Depression by picking cotton for bowls of beans until he lied about his age to serve during the Korean War to support his parents… he was a self made man…he built our gas station with his own hands…he taught me to follow my bliss… my Filipino mother who left her parents to board in another town and walked miles in the rain with a banana leaf for an umbrella to go to school, having sewed her own uniform and cooked her meals on a little fire as a child, believed in the american dream and made a new life in alaska with greater possibilities for her children…she taught me that wit, intuition, resolve and improvisation can go a long way…the rest is left to fate or luck or the combustion of our individual spark.With common sense, hard work and manual labor my upbringing at the gas station, pursuing music was a luxury, it was not hard for me to save a lump of change and go to the city…did the Hollywood thing hittin the streets with the demo I made at my friends house…at the time those were the only songs i had written…I mean I had played piano and sang in church since I was yay high but I was going by the seat of my pants, figuring out my sound as I wrote…since Fate Is The Hunter I have been developing my sound under the guidance of Tommy Mottola…I’m in good hands, after all he is “the architect of dreams”.

Wild At Heart
Hope everyone had a safe Memorial Day Weekend. The DEMF festival started off with a bang with an exciting performance at the Fillmore by Prodigy who put on an awesome set with lots of fan favorites like "Firestarter" and "Voodoo People". I missed saturday to see Los Straitjackets and Southern Culture On The Skids who put on a great show at the Crofoot (a Los Straitjacket interview will also be on my show next Sat morning 8-10AM on 88.3FM or www.WXOU.org). Sunday saw some cooler weather but you still had a lot of skimpy costumes and glow sticks to make the night go well. Most music of this type gets repetitive for me after about 15 minutes but sets by Osunlade, Loco Dice vs Luciano, Anthony Rother, RJD2, Z-Trip and Wighnomy Bros really kept my attention. I am looking
forward to a few artists today including Los Hermanos, Tiga, Audion and Flying Lotus so we'll see who stands out. I also promised the gang at Metrotimes to give them a shout out in thanks for hooking me up with a Terminator shot glass. They will be giving out more swag today so get their early (they have passes for the movies Up and Drag Me To Hell along with Terminator hats and shirts). I also got to try the new Red Bull cola thanks to the guys in their VIP area and must say I'm not overly impressed by it (though I'm sure they will have a lot at the Red Bull Air Races coming up) but if you remember RC Cola and enjoyed it, you will like their new cola which tastes very similar.
Techno fans might also want to keep in mind May 30th when Creme premieres at Grace's Underground in Ferdale and they will be having techno artist Juan Atkins in the house which should be a rocking night.
There are a couple of movies which opened this weekend that are trying to bring some laughs during this trying times, though with mixed results. First, I would suggest ignoring this first film unless you just can't miss any Wayans brothers film. The movie “Dance Flick” is a parody of a genre which has very few stand out examples as it is, and those were years ago with the trio of Footloose, Flashdance and Dirty Dancing which are almost ignored here for such films as Step Up, You Got Served and Stomp The Yard which are almost the same film as it is. The problem with this film is the same with other recent parody films of recent years (like Epic Movie or Meet The Spartans) that try to throw too much at the audience and feel the number of jokes makes up for lack of telling an actual story that engages you between the spoofs. A spoof film usually only works when the lead is serious and lets the spoofs take place in front of (or behind)him.
Great examples of this are “Monty Python & The Holy Grail”, “Airplane” and “Blazing Saddles”. Most spoof films today star young actors who don't yet have the acting chops to pull this off. Shoshana Bush is the only actor in this movie that really seems to be up to the challenge because let's face it, Chelsea Makela and Brennan Hillard are not Robert Hayes and Julie Hagerty (Airplane). Basically, this movie gave me one laugh for every member of the Wayans household that is in this movie. That comes out to 7 laughs in this film and while I'm not expecting a masterpiece, I at least want to be entertained for my hour and a half. And tell me why you have a actor dressed as the character Tracy from Hairspray but you never really go for a good gag about that film? This film disappoints on so many levels that I suggest spending your money on the next film for laughs instead of this clunker. My grade is a D- which is the best grade you
can get for 7 laughs.
Next is a sequel to a fun movie which I think exceeds the charm of the first film. That film is “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” where our man Lawrence (Ben Stiller) has left the museum security staff to pursue a career making inventions like the glow-in-the-dark flashlight but it seems that despite him finding his fortune, he isn't happy. He visits the museum only to find that all the old displays are being stored at the Smithsonian in Washington DC to make way for new, more modern exhibits. Unable to stop this from happening, a dejected Lawrence is at home when he gets a call from Jedediah (Owen Wilson) that the monkey stole the tablet which brings them to life and that they are in trouble as the evil Kah Mun Rah (a hilarious role for Hank Azaria) wants the tablet to unleash the evils of the undead and take over the world. Lawrence can't let this happen and regains his lost moxie as he helps his friends with the help of the
lovely and spunky Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams). Together, they, along with a giant Abraham Lincoln and General Custer, must stop Kah Mun Rah and his companions Al Capone, Ivan The Terrible and Napoleon. I am a bit disappointed that most of the characters from the first film take second fiddle to the Azaria and Adams, but their excellent performances and the fun romps through the Smithsonian make up for it. I esp liked a couple of small moments such as Superbad's Jonah Hill as a Smithsonian security guard and cameos by Darth Vader and Oscar The Grouch. For those who enjoy things making sense, there are some inconsistencies with the magic and the way it seems to work, but I think the spirit of the film makes up for it as Lawrence saves his friends and refinds his place in life. A very delightful film for the times and great family entertainment. My grade is a A- and I think Amy Adams should be in every film that comes out this summer. I also
hope like the last film, that museums will once again see an upswing in attendance by kids or parents inspired by the film to engage in real history. I recommend the following museums – Cranbrook Institute of Science for their “Hatching The Past” exhibit, Stones And Bones Museum (Sarnia, Ontario) for their wonderful natural history collection, University of Michigan's Natural History Museum for their wonderful dinosaur collection, Detroit Science Center for their “Star Trek: The Exhibition”, The National Museum of the Tuskegee Airmen at Historic Fort Wayne, Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village (what can you say about this wonderful attraction), Motown Museum for the musical heritage, the Holocaust Memorial Center (Farmington Hills) so we don't forget the past, the DIA for a wonderful art collection along with Egyptian mummies and suits of medieval armor, and the Toledo Museum of Art as well as their glass museum which are incredible.
You have other choices but these are some of my favorites in the area. Don't forget you can get free admission to some museums if you look into the Detroit Adventure passes at your local library.
Also, if you want a laugh, Go Comedy Improv Theatre in Ferndale will have a night of pay what you can comedy starting at 8PM on May 31st including Rock-o-Matic (an improved rock opera) and the improv duo of PJ Jacokes and Chris Diangelo.
For music lovers, it will be a good week with some choice shows starting Wednesday night (5/27) with a double header in Pontiac as Jessica Lea Mayfield returns to the Pike Room fresh off her tour with Ray LaMontaigne with her alt country/indie rock style and the rocking Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be at Clutch Cargos. Thursday (5/28) see us going to Canada to see R&B superstar Kenny "babyface" Edmunds @ Caesar's Windsor. Things pick back up on Friday (5/29) as we see CCR frontman John Fogerty rock Pine Knob (his show last year was a highlight of my concert season), the Tragically Hip (they took their name from a skit in the Michael Nesmith movie "Elephant Parts") will start the first of their 2 night stay at the Fillmore and the power trio of Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean will bring the music of Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind to the Fox Theatre. Saturday (5/30) will have the alt rock darlings The Doves (they used to be known as Sub Sub
in the 80's before changing their name) will be @ the Majestic while dirty old man, John Valby, will be singing songs that your mother will be embarassed by at the Emerald Theatre. Sunday (5/31) also sees to interesting shows as the flashy electroclash troupe Fisherspooner will delight audiences suffering from Movement withdrawal at the Majestic and alternative rocks fans will be going wild over the pairing of Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction at Pine Knob (or DTE if you prefer).
Have a safe Memorial Day and I'll see you all next week.

“Our influences are not local, they are from different parts of the world.
As a result, we bring a unique spirit to the stage along with a bond of friendship, love, music and live theater,” explains Ingray’s lead singer Adisa.
Indeed the siren-like song and movement of Adisa is as mesmerizing as the ethereal chords only guitaristNermin Selmanovic seems able to reach. The sound of Dave Dupuie’s thunderous drum rhythms and Haris Cizmac's mystical bass hooks complete the band’s overture. Ingray is as exciting to watch as they are to hear.
