The Aptly Named ALREADY DEAD FAMILY REUNION 4 – Day One – Milhouse/Satellite 9.24
As someone who has been on the periphery of involvement in Already Dead Tapes & Records, and in the Family Reunion, I have often felt that Family Reunion VS Festival is such a fitting title for the event. If your friends are your family, like so often is the case in my life personally, you…

Thunder from Down Yonder: Deaf Wish, No Bails, The Uncanny @ Louies 9/23
This show is gonna be awesome so I’ll make this quick: DEAF WISH is a noisy, clangy garage-punk act hailing from the inhabited continent furthest from us: Straya. NO BAILS is Kalamazoo’s Goner-esque garage-warrior outfit. They’re doing it and doing it for real. Finally, THE UNCANNY are just that. Freaked-out surf rock that will upset your mother…

The Making of Maraj’s Voyager, By Andy Catlin
When we set out to make our first full-length album as Maraj, we had one simple goal: start and don’t stop until it’s done. We are a new band with a lot of internal momentum, and a strong, but loose process: I write the music, Ben makes it better, Kam and Darius rap, and Sam…

Something a Little Different on the DIY Touring Circuit – THE GADABOUT FILM FEST 12th year + Eric Ayotte @ THE VNA 9.8
With the mass of DIY touring bands that come through Kalamazoo, it’s easy to get a sense of jaded on the “same old same old.” While I would personally boast that the musical experiences available in Kalamazoo from week to week are highly varied and innumerable, it’s not hard to find yourself wondering, from time…

Jes Kramer – WhiteGold – Katy Needs A Life
Catch it before it’s gone, because I can 99.99999% sure guarantee this lineup will never reassemble on a stage anywhere in the world. Despite her busy schedule, Jes Kramer comes to visit Kalamazoo a few times a year, and brings a solid catalog of pleasing pop songs, with layered harmonies assembled before your eyes with…
