Monday Nite Basement Antics – WOOZY (New Orleans), EVERYONE & THEIR EMPTY CUPS, BORING PEOPLE @ Free Clinic – 6.8

The forecast for Kalamazoo, MI on Monday, June 8 reads “Partly cloudy skies. Chance of a shower or thunderstorm throughout the evening. Guarantee of rock ‘n’ roll as night falls.” Free Clinic is hosting three bands that are a lot of fun and should start your week off memorably.

Woozy are a three-piece experimental rock outfit hailing from New Orleans. The band have a proclivity for melancholy melodies which they skillfully and craftily maneuver around with adventurous guitar and drum arrangements, at times lilting while at other times rambunctious. The cut featured below from their Sundown Sessions contains good examples of the group’s dynamic contrast.

Kalamazoo’s Boring People are known for their infectious melodies supported by heavy-hitting instrumentation. In preparation for their debut album coming out on Already Dead Tapes next week, they will bring the ruckus to Free Clinic with several songs from the aforementioned release. The first single, “Spiderbite,” is featured in live form below.

Everyone & Their Empty Cups are known for highly energetic live performances inundated with grooves and hooks. Featured below is the first ten minutes of a set performed at Louie’s this past winter and is a small encapsulation of the real experience. Check it out!

Things should be getting underway shortly after 9 p.m. Please remember to donate to the touring band. Respect the space. Respect the bands. Let’s have a good time!
