Tonight at Victory House there’s going to be one killer show with the line-up to back it up.

DADS is a two-piece coming all the way from New Jersey and providing some noodly, melodic emo/punk awesomeness.

Hometown heroes, Kzoo’s tappy, screamy secret weapon, THE REPTILIAN will be killing it as they always do.

And, lest we forget about the premiere performance of Kalamazoo’s latest and raddest band, WITCH FINGERS,  featuring the combined powers of members of Ackley Kid, Lincoln County War, and The Reptilian. This pop-punk super-group has me more excited about hearing new tunes than I have ever been.

Kalamashoegazer is an organization/collective that brings shoegaze/dreampop/twee and C86 influenced groups to Kalamazoo, MI for annual events that celebrate the sub-genre. Kalamashoegazer was started in 2007 by April Morris from the dreampop band, Glowfriends. April and her brother, Mark Morris, guitarist in Glowfriends, work together to put the festival on each year and create events that bring a cross-country community of indie bands and fans together in the name of shoegaze.

The fifth annual Kalamashoegazer will take place on Saturday, August 20th at 3 P.M. at The Strutt for $10. This year’s line-up consists of West Bend, Wisconsin’s Canyons of Static

Brief Candles of Milwaukee, WI

Whales of Chicago, IL

Gospel Gossip from Northfield, MN

28 Degrees Taurus of Allston, MA

Kalamazoo favorites, Glowfriends

Crash City Saints, another of Kalamazoo’s own
Im Only Looking – Crash City Saints

And Akron, Ohio’s  This Is Antarctica will also be performing.

The point and purpose of this event is to bring together friends, fans and bands that are influenced by bands that came out of what was once called “The Scene That Celebrates It’s Self” or the shoegazing genre. Also those interested by C86, twee, dreampop, late 80’s/early 90’s underground, ambient and space rock will want to take notice. So come on out and take part of this awesome tradition of awesome music.
