A dual release show is taking place tonight at The Strutt in good old downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan.  We shall see new material from both Gitis Baggs and Lasso.  And it’s a FREE SHOW!

The genius tact of craft that is Mr. Gitis Baggs is making available his newest CD, The Gitis Baggs Game, featuring 8 tracks that he has composed and performed with various guests.  Packaged along with Game shall be his last CD, The Universe and Dr. Kaiser, which saw limited release last year, though anyone who has had the fortune to hear the album seems to fall in love with the songs and voice.

Multi-Instrument and recording master Andy Catlin of The Go-Rounds, ex-Tiny Rhythm, and many other assorted projects is Lasso, an outsider country project that’s first release is on cassette through Chicago tape label Already Dead. This will be available tonight for $5!

Kalamazoo’s Elk Welcome, formerly Nerves, will provide a scorching set of heavy jams; these guys seem to get progressively heavier with each show.

Noise rockers Forget The Times will be opening the show promptly at 9:30 p.m., performing a two-guitar set, no percussion.  Probably gonna be weird!

The Strutt is located at 773 W. Michigan in downtown Kalamazoo.  Note that it’s FREE!  FREE!
