4/25 – 9PM doors
Donation based show

The Reptilian (Kalamazoo) – We’re a mathy, emotional post-hardcore band who is now a three-piece. We’ll have demos of our newly recorded material for this show. This is going to be the last day of a mini tour with two of our labelmates: Joie De Vivre and Annabel. myspace.com/thereptilianband

Joie De Vivre (Rockford, IL) – Midwestern emo. Beautifully layered, dynamic songs from a sextet that features organ, horns, and other instrumentation. myspace.com/joiedevivreband

Annabel (Kent, OH) – More throwback emo. These guys have a huge sound and rock way harder than you would even expect when they play live. myspace.com/annabelrock

Merchant Ships (South Bend, IN) – Younger screamo band on the technical side of things. The kind of band that loves to go for big gang sing-alongs. myspace.com/merchantships

This show is happening the same day as the Evan Greer show at the Peace Center but you can and are encouraged to attend both as the Peace Center shows starts at three that afternoon and this doesn’t start until nine.

Come to the Peace Center to unwind before the stress of finals week. We will be having a fantastic FREE show that you do not want to miss.
Where: The Wesley Foundation, WMU Campus, 2101 Wilbur Avenue
When: Sunday, April 25th, 3 PM

Who:
EVAN GREER (Jamaica Plain, MA)
(http://www.myspace.com/evangreer)
“Evan Greer continues to write inspiring folk music in the tradition of the great protest singers. ‘Never Surrender’ contains an urgency and earnestness that is uniquely his…and he’s a heck of a guitar player. I suspect that songs like ‘Ya Basta!’ and ‘Picketline Song’ will be heard at the barricades for years to come.” –Tom Morello, of Rage Against the Machine

ANNE FEENEY(Pittsburgh, PA)
(http://www.myspace.com/annefeeney)
Pittsburgh-based agitator Anne Feeney performs music that she says is
designed to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” Not many
women have chosen to walk the path of Woody Guthrie, but Feeney has
made a career of it for the past 35 years. She has lived her life on the
frontlines – performing at thousands of rallies, picket lines and
demonstrations over the years

THE ALMANAC SHOUTERS (Kalamazoo)
(http://www.myspace.com/thealmanacshouters)
We are a midwest folk-punk band based in the student ghetto of Kalamazoo, MI. The name comes from a project of the legendary Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie.

FRUITMEAT (Kalamazoo)
(Kjartan Code and guests)

In order to properly get the No Fun House rolling, we’re going to kick off with two days of music, art and food. Two of the best shows I saw at Scorpion Island were Beast In The Field and Paucity. Luckily for us, they are both available to play the fest.

Both days will start at 8pm with an art show and vegetarian potluck. Seeing as how none of us have moved in yet, we’re going to use the empty space as an art gallery for both days. If you can, please come early and bring some food to share with everyone.

Music will start at 9:30pm. $2 door. As will be the case at every No Fun show, there are no drugs/alcohol allowed.
