Drifting Rock and Roll Musicians Looking For Good Time! Tonight! @ 411 Club

SROS LORDS-Detroit’s next up and coming superstars.  Suggested for fans of Tyvek.  They have a single out right now on Urinal Cake Records.  Last time they attempted to play in Kalamazoo was at The Black Lodge with The Hex bombs about this time last year.  The show was busted up right as they set up.

Second time is the charm?

Local support provided by…..

Conception Vessel (Mysterious new Kalamazoo noise rock outfit)

Inflatable Best Friend (Sloppier than ever)

Evil Deauxerz (Good for Kids!)

BEAST IN THE FIELD CRUSHES YOUR SKULLS—8/22 @ The Black Lodge

Beast in the Field is a two piece Stoner/Doom band from Midland, Michigan.  If you have attended a Beast in the Field show you know what you’re in for….if not…let me fill you in.

This is the loudest band you will ever see at a house show in Kalamazoo.  Beast in the field is partially responsible for a revision of Kalamazoo noise ordinances after Boiling Pot Festival.  The music is catchy, heavy and loud.  What’s not to like?

CHICAGO INVADES KALAMAZOO! TONIGHT!

Kalamazoo….what are you really doing on a monday night in the dog days of summer?

Louies is providing a jam packed night of entertainment featuring a star studded line up of garage rock influenced bands. Why not check it out?

SHILOH (Chicago)–The self proclaimed “scum pop” band from Chicago will be gracing the stage tonight. I would suggest that fans of Jake Simmons and The Little Ghosts give this band a listen!

Local support will be provided by….

THE HOUND–New local garage rock act that has began to make some waves. The Hound features the drumming talents of Ryan Pate, the insanely awesome drummer from Lost in Translation, Good News and Brown Cow.

Tim Tapper–Multi-faceted local legend TIM TAPPER will be performing heart felt acoustic songs!

Come down and hang! $5 suggested donation. Doors at 8, show starts at 9!

50th show at Milhouse! – Get Heavy/Get Weird 8.5

The folks at Milhouse have just passed their two year mark in the house! Also, this show will represent the 50th in a two year span. Come celebrate and help encourage 50 more!

This show is a sort of mixed bag of sounds, so likely there’s something for everyone, or at least for everyone who can dig on strange sounds.

THE JOINT CHIEFS OF MATH hail from Philadelphia, organized as a guitar/drum duo unlike any other. The guitarist’s pedal board set up is out of this world, making the live performance hard to believe, and the sound intense and full. If you’re into heavy math rock sorts of bands, this will be your bag. If you’re in to electronics, this band will probably also be something you want to see.

REPTILIAN SHAPE SHIFTERS are not local band The Reptilian. They are however a conspiracy theory math rock band from Oakland California. Incorporating technical prowess with the heaviness we’ve all grown to know and love from many shows in the Milhouse basement, this is a band that you will not want to miss.

VVRVVLF (Formerly WearWolf) is an enigmatic one man dancy noise onslaught, fully prepared to bring the party as well as a tad bit of alienation. VVRVVLF played the second show at Milhouse, and the man behind the mask has played several times in other projects there too.

THE UNCANNY are a newer local band with a vintage vibe. Sounding like a spooky interpretation of The Ventures, The Uncanny are four dudes that may have killed local musician Matt Maier and stolen unfinished demos from his ghost.

As always bring donations for the touring bands, be excellent to every single last being and entity, and enjoy the noise.
