The Poison Control Center is rad. They sound kinda like Pavement and Superchunk mixed together. They have some pretty funny music videos online. They have an awkward name. Even Pitchfork gave these guys a good review, saying they are “clearly a band getting familiar with.”  What more do you want?

Joining the PCC will be two of our own; Kalamazoo’s own (Electric) Lincoln County War will play their signature war-torn country rock n roll, and Dylan Lancaster and his acoustic guitar will tell a few tales as well.

Show’s at 9 sharp, $2 suggested donation for touring bands. If you don’t know where the No Fun House is, send us an email at ditkalamazoo@gmail.com.

I truly believe Scout Niblett could burn down all of our hearts if she chooses.

Also representing England this evening will be our own Fiona Dickinson, singing hauntingly beautiful folk music that will slip right through the cracks into your broken heart. Portland’s Holy Sons will take you on a mellow psychedelic trip through your childhood. Kalamazoo’s progressive rock geniuses the New Spryghts will release their long awaited record, taking you far away from anything you might recognize into the realm of the strange and the mystical.

Starts at 8 pm, $12 at the door… this show will be amazing.

Lovers of catchy, psychedelic, strange pop music: I know you’re out there. Tonight, all your dreams come true at the No Fun House. Netherfriends made an appearance at the Pitchfork Festival this summer and are now embarking on a long and winding tour across America. This is going to be one you don’t want to miss. JUST WATCH THE FREAKIN’ VIDEO. DON’T IT LOOK LIKE FUN?????????

Everyone and their Empty Cups and Jeremy Ruggles & the Mind Death Quintet will provide local support. 9 Pm sharp, no drugs/booze, $2 suggested donation… DO IT TOGETHER

Also, A Place To Bury Strangers will tear up the Strutt, along with Skeleton Party and Crash City Saints! Options, options, options…

Things could get messy. We’re kind of hoping your mind melts into a liquid and drips through your nose.

JEREMY RUGGLES AND THE MIND DEATH QUINTET will be battling three other bands for some Tuna. Specifically, the kind of Tuna that features bands like Lightning Bolt, King Kahn, Casiotone, Dan Deacon and Wolf Eyes.

Other bands competing for a slot at the Barking Tuna Festival are worthy opponents Skeleton Party, Nunca Duerma and Coma Nova. Cover is $3. Show starts at nine. Let’s have some fun.

Tonight at No Fun House, both of these things will be tossed through the air liberally and with abandon. The evening will begin with some decidedly bent humor from Barsen Miller and Jarad Selner, collectively known as BC.

After the lulz have flowed freely, John Van Hattum (aka JUGGLING AT LARGE) will juggle bowling pins, hatchets, torches, small animals and whatever else he can get his hands on. This guy’s a pro… do not miss!

Above: JVH juggles a prosthetic leg that costs about as much as a SUV.

This show has no cover, but the hat will be passed for the performers, so give generously and support Kalamazoo’s funkiest fringe of artists!

That is all.
