It’s a beautiful day, and if that weather person ain’t a damn lie, it’s fixin’ to be a gorgeous night. If you’re looking to get out of the house, Milhouse in the Vine Neighborhood has 4 acts performing in their basement for your eyes and ears to feast upon.
Bloomington, Indiana’s Dust From 1000 Years are returning to Kalamazoo for the first time in 4 years. By college town standards, that’s an entire generation later. Well, there’s a reason it’s been so long: Dust From 1000 Years are reunited after an extended absence from performing. If you were familiar with their music before, it has retained that forlorn sense of ennui and contempt in attitude and remains spacious yet grungy in sound.
The song “Party Song” from their new release ‘Moon’ sums up their outlook quite well:

Kalamazoo’s English rose Fiona Dickinson is on board for this one. Whether her performance shall be with a full band or solo acoustic remains to be disclosed.
Peter Cook, currently of Kalamazoo’s Boring People, will appear to play a few covers and older songs from past bands he’s been in.
Josh Miller, Milhouse resident and Seventeen Again/Forget The Times guitarist will be performing as Misery Loves Co., just he and a drummer. The act is definitely NOT this Misery Loves Co.
Milhouse is located in the Vine Neighborhood. If you don’t know the address, you can message ditkalamazoo@gmail.com or post on the Milhouse Facebook (recommended)https://www.facebook.com/groups/milhouse/ that you need to be sent the address. While there is no entry fee, we suggest bringing a few dollars to donate to the touring band. It’s a hard life there out on the road, gas is expensive. Things should be getting underway around 9 p.m.! See you there!
