Tonight, a newer DIY Venue in Kalamazoo is going to open it’s doors and try something that other DIY venues rarely attempt: There’s going to be an open mic at the Revolution Cat House.

If you play tunes, rap, spit poetry, break dance, or just plain get down and want a place to do it, then tonight is your night. the RCH is doing it right, with a full backline for drums, bass, guitars provided, and anyone who’d like to jam, groove, rock out, or perform some other abstract-yet-identifiable verb is more than welcome, and in fact encouraged, to. The fun starts at 8:30 and runs to 10:30.

At 10:30, though, the party really gets going. Brown Cow kicks it off, and they promise with all their hearts and souls to tear down the house, and probably the houses next door, too. Check out ‘Michigan’s finest Slacker Rock’, and get your led out.

Then, at 11:30, Pleasant Drive takes off and rocks out until the cows come home. Or the Brown Cows go home. Whichever happens first. Either way it’s going to be a cool show and an interesting experience. DIY Open Mics, after all, are some of the best things ever.
