Folk Of All Sorts Tonight @ Kalamazoo Institute o’ Farts (Former Full House 2.0) 5-17

From the ethereal to the angular, the Kalamazoo Institute o’ Farts will be covering many forms of folk and folk influenced tonight.

DEAR RABBIT - jangly gypsy vaudvillian onslaught traveling from Colorado.

LINCOLN COUNTY WAR – local folk punk duo, meshing gruff and distraught with beautiful violin.

DEEP WATERS – a band of folk players making dreamy spacy and (potentially) keyboardy sounds.

ARMS AKIMBO – a one man band of dwelling on the past while simultaneously getting up and moving on.

This show is at 8:00 PM. Bring a couple of dollars for the touring folks.

For the address, email ditkalamazoo@gmail.com

Oh, Dear Rabbit, not deer rabbit. Sorry, Jackalope!

5/15 – SRVVLST, Pride and Ego Down, Tir Asleen, Lions, Pro Con Pro @ The Courthouse

Image

 

A grand old night of progressive, post-hardcore jams coming up this Wednesday (5/15) at The Courthouse.  Post-hardcore has long been a staple of the local music scene here in Southwest-Michigan and we’ve got four touring acts bring their own twist to the ever expanding genre, with Kzoo’s Pro Con Pro closing the show out.  Not to limit any of the artists by a single label, the variety of sound pumping through each act is monumental.  You should expect to be lulled melodically one second, only to find yourself in a mosh pit the next, with many experimental flavors in between.

     The doors are at eight and the show will start sometime after nine – bring the bucks for the touring bands – bring some respect for all – and bring the dancing shoes.
