Keir Neuringer / Saxquatch / Joshualien @ Victory House 5.14

Victory House presents experimental tunes for your listening pleasure!

Keir Neuringer previously played in Kalamazoo at Milhouse last winter, and is gracing us with his presence again. Keir is a multi-instrumentalist experimental composer, making strange and beautiful works, often based in Saxophone. His performance is captivating.

Saxquatch, well known local saxophonist will also be performing, with Matt Wood (of Batcave / Philly Crawlers) on drums. They have never performed together in this manner, so you’ll want to check it out.

 

 

Joshualien is a local minimalist electro artist who will make you feel like your in a trance playing an old-school videogame. Or that you want to dance. Or some other emotion you’ve not yet experienced.

The show starts at 9 PM, and will be donation based as Keir is traveling, so please bring a couple dollars if you can.

5/9 Jeremy Waun, Alex Young, and Neil Shah @ No Fun House

Alright DIT do-gooders, it’s summer time, and for all of you who are of the sit-back with refreshing beverage in hand type, well we have a show/pot-luck combination on Wednesday, May 9th that you (hopefully) won’t spill your beer at.

In for an all-acoustic set is Jeremy Waun of the Detroit based band Reverend. With a 1,2,3,4 count that never fails, Waun has a down-home nostalgia about his music, with a sound that is about as comfortable and familiar as a creaking rocking-chair on a humdrum summer night.

Neil Shah and Alex Young, of Kalamazoo-based groups Ackley Kid and Pan respectively, will also be performing acoustic sets that will differ from their more rambunctious main projects. Alex Young said he has “a few new songs written up” specifically for this acoustic set and “a buncha covers” ready.

Food cooks up at 7:00 p.m. at No Fun House, with music starting around 8:00 p.m. It’s FREE as usual, and be sure to bring some delicious food and donations for the pot-luck and touring artist. Non-delicious donations will also be accepted.
