Kalamazoo’s premier local artist zine, Asylum Lake, have completed their 4th edition and are holding their release party tonight, Friday, June 10th, at Boomerang’s with performances from two bands the latest edition features, Almanac Shouters and Good News, as well as Lincoln County War.

Almanac Shouters have but a few shows remaining before disbanding due to new paths to be traveled in life by bandmembers.  The folkpunk trio released their sophomore effort Windmills earlier this year, which is reviewed in this issue of Asylum Lake.

Lincoln County War is the project of the engaged Benji Myers and Sofia Peters, on guitar and violin respectively.  Both sing and have engaging tunes, falling somewhere between punk, Americana, and other!

Good News

Good News are the artist featured in Asylum Lake; the mathrock duo have spent the last year and a half perfecting their dynamic, shifting instrumentals and have grown incredibly tight.  Live shows are exhilarating!

Admission to this event is only $2!  Copies of Asylum Lake #4 will be on sale for $5.  Boomerang’s is located in the Rugger’s Up & Under building at 711 W. Michigan Ave in Kalamazoo.
