FRIDAY 1/18 Hands-off! Dance-off! @ WM w/ Free School’s “Safe Spaces” workshop

Friday night, get real cozy and get real down at Wayne Manor. To kick off the evening, at 7pm the Kalamazoo Free School is giving out some much needed love with a quick talk about making your basement a safe space for show-goers. This includes how to create an environment free of oppression and just what the heck a ‘safe space’ is. Who oppresses more than the cops? Well, to add to the mix, KFS will also be doing a quick run-down of what the laws are with shows and how to stay safe avoiding legal trouble.

Then things get raw with the HANDS-OFF DANCE-OFF. (no competition necessary.)
Put the “sensual” back in “consensual”. (no sexy dancing necessary.)
A good ol’ fashioned dance party. (No pressure, just a space to get down if ya gotta.)

Airjob – Trip-Hop beats with skateboard.

Chris K. – Stylish sounds from a dark corner of your parents bedroom.

Wearwolf – If you know ’em, you love ’em. If you don’t, you should get to know ’em.

Huge Screamo Show @ Wayne Manor

Chicago screaming cuties Acidic Tree will be holding down Wayne Manor Saturday night to help out their new wax release “dead on our feet” from Turn of The Century Records. On tour for just a few days, they made sure we were one of the lucky cities to get a chance to help out!

They are on tour with Half Milk, another cute-as-cute-can-be screamo band from Chi-town.

Supporting is mid-michigans finest epic black metal infused screamo, Old Soul. And their small-town angsty counter-part, Quietus.

(you’ll just have to believe me about Quietus, too punk for blogs)

And finally, a couple hometown brews, 17again opening the whole shin-dig, and Great American Witch Hunt closing it out! Come out and bring your frowns, as well as a few buxx for the touring bands!!

NOT ONE TO MISS

Paul Baribeau, Fred Thomas, Jason Anderson, and Gitis Baggs @ No Fun House

Broken-hearted brutally honest solo indie artist Paul Baribeau hails from south central michigan, so this Sunday he will be making a quick stop at No Fun House with Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good To Me, His Name Is Alive), Jason Anderson, and Gitis Baggs. All heart-wrenching, all angst, all supporting. I hope you are doing well with your break-up…
