SLEEPY
KITTY, UP, AND THE HE BOPS
SLEEPY KITTY- "For fans of Sleigh Bells — but sub in post-grunge
jangle for noisecore." - Entertainment
Weekly
THE HE BOPS- The He Bops began as an all-male 3 piece Cyndi
Lauper/Clash mash-up cover band. 5 years later they've finished up their 3rd
album of original material featuring short, post-punk inspired songs of love,
loss, and criticism of contemporary culture. Live performances can be fun and
furious with a heavy dose of storytelling to string the songs together.
FRIDAY JUNE 13- 9
P.M.- $7
THE OSCILLATING
FAN CLUB, JEECY & THE JUNGLE, AND ELEANORA
THE OSCILLATING
FAN CLUB- Completely shakable rock n' roll
- if people that couldn't dance still gyrated their bodies faux-uncontrolably
this would be the soundtrack of the weekend. Basically if Dick Dale, Beck and
Television all dropped acid on M-1 and had an orgy with Karen O.
JEECY & THE
JUNGLE- Jeecy and the Jungle is an experience, like defibrillation
is an experience. Their live show is a train-derailing stomp that will make the
young sweat and the thirsty convulse. They have an electric chemistry for
artists thrown together by equal parts dare and lost wagers. On their
influences, the band admits looting their parents’ and grandparents’ record
collections, and every decade since the thirties.
ELEANORA- Eleanora is an eclectic mix of
various musical styles and flavors. It is the result of a collaboration between
classically trained and self-taught musicians.
SATURDAY JUNE 14- 9 P.M.-

ROGUE SATELLITES
(RECORD RELEASE), DUTCH PINK, AND SIAMESE
ROGUE
SATELLITES- Detroit-based intergalactic
synth-rock.SOCIAL
ACTION HOUR
DUTCH
PINK- Simply put, Dutch Pink is a damn
fine rock-n-roll outfit. Dutch Pink began crafting their unique brand of
literate, baroque blues in the spring of 2004, and after 10 years in the musical
trenches, is in the midst of making people take
notice. The band’s sound has been
described as “a twisted-indie fed take on American roots music.” (Metro Times)
and “equally balladeers of the bleak, blunt and gothic as they are weavers of
hypnotic minor-key-lingering blues.” (Real Detroit Weekly)
SIAMESE- Synthy, well-produced
pop-rock.
SUNDAY JUNE 15- 9 P.M.-
$5
THE PHILTER, HAPPY FANGS, AND J. WALKER & THE
CROSSGUARDS
THE
PHILTER- Midwestern
surf-gaze, further defined by lush
swells of ambient sound and dark, melancholy lyrical content.
HAPPY
FANGS- Happy
Fangs' live shows juxtapose strong black and white visuals with their
contrasting pop meets rock sound. Each show is a flurry of enthusiasm, loud
guitars, hard-hitting drums, and singularity—the trio writes an original song on
stage based on an audience's suggestion. Some people say rock is making a
comeback. Happy Fangs is proof that rock-n-roll is here to
stay. THE FACEBOOK
J. WALKER & THE
CROSSGUARDS- After Listening to a bunch of
soul music, J. Walker wrote some tunes. The Result was a single on the Beehive
Recording Co. Shortly There after The Crossguards began playing shows all over
Detroit.
