There hasn’t been a lot of content updated here this week, and that’s a shame, as there’s been a fair bit of action here in Kalamazoo. The Roman jazz-punks on Monday, the American Folk-punks at No Fun on Wednesday, and Kalamazoo Noise‘s magazine West Michigan Noise dropping the same day.

In addition to all that, tickets for the best Barking Tuna festival in years (dare I say ever?) went on sale at  The Strutt for 12 dollars a day, or  30 dollars for a full fest pass. The festival itself will be held at The Strutt, and everyone will be getting down hardcore and personal.

The festival starts Thursday, October 7th, and runs ’till Saturday, October 9th, with the lineup as follows:

Thursday calls out King Khan & the Shrines, Gentleman Jesse and His Men, and, OTOUTTO Casiotone (for the Painfully Alone).

The Friday will feature Dan Deacon, Tree City, and Child Bite.

Finally, Saturday night brings to the stage Wolf Eyes, Cheap Girls, Lightening Bolt, plus the local winner of the always-popular Fight for the Tuna!

Make sure you show up for this friggin’ festival. You will not be disappointed.
