Kalamazoo’s newest active House venue, the Ant Hill (Ant Colony, Alien Ant Farm, Whathaveyou) is playing host, this Friday, to a host of absolutely rockin’ Michigan bands from all over this great mitten-shaped state of ours.
Kalamazoo’s own Pan will be taking the stage at this one. This super-tight three-piece outfit delivers all-instrumental progressive goodness with a smooth set of curves to boot. Your brains will melt. Your face will melt. You will not be disappointed.
From Muskegon, the boys in Chordis Bell will be down to move you. Stretched out funky rock is their forte’, with songs about all the tough parts of life. I’ve had the pleasure of playing with this outfit in the past, and I can tell you first-hand that they put on a hell of a show. Or you can check out this youtube video:
Down from Grand Rapids, MINNESOTA will also be tearing things
up. These guys call themselves Alternative and that seems about right. Fast, heavy, and hard-hitting, MINNESOTA is just the right thing to get your blood pumping on a Friday night.
Finally, the excellently technical Drawing Mountains will be in town from Royal Oak. Expect clean time changes, strange guitar melodies and an overall feel that boarders on ambient despite the high-energy playing. These guys also just got signed to Start/Finish Records, a newer record label based out of Flint Michigan.
I, for one, will be at the Ant Hill this Friday. That said, if you don’t know where the Ant Hill (or any other place, for that matter) is located, you can always email us at ditkalamazoo@gmail.com and ask.

Why not credit the artists that took these videos and pictures. It’s only fair, and I would hope you would believe in that sort of thing. Is it a formatting problem? Can you not use a smaller text?
Sincerely no fun for us,

Hey J.O.,
The folks here at DIT are a loose collective that put a lot of time and effort in to making posts on this blog, promoting shows the old fashioned way (making flyers, putting them out, grass-roots word-spreading), going to shows to review them, writing album reviews, etc. Everyone here has a lot of other commitment elsewhere (if we’re not going to school full time, we’re working full time) and while we do strive to deliver as high-quality a product as we can, concessions are made by necessity.
That said, it is true we have overlooked the details in terms of crediting 3rd party media. In our defense, the vast majority of this content comes to us without credit (most of the photos are pulled down from band’s Myspace pages or personal websites, and we have had no complaint from them). Rarely do these sources credit their own photos, and so we can not accurately credit them ourselves.
However, going forward we will absolutely make every attempt to attribute credit where credit is due. Also, if there are any media that you feel need to be credited and you provide us with the name of the artist/photographer/whathaveyou, you can absolutely send such material to us at ditkalamazoo@gmail.com.
