The Glowfriends will be playing a free show tonight (10/17) at the Kalamazoo Public Library.
The show starts at 7pm
If you haven’t seen these guys, you need to. It’s pure sunshine. You’ll feel like a 6 year old at the park who was just given a balloon hat. Promise.
Saturday Looks Good To Me is a group formed in late 2000 by singer-songwriter Fred Thomas (former member of the 4AD band His Name Is Alive). The songs that the Ann Arbor based indie pop group creates can be thought of as a unique blend of the Beach Boys, Guided By Voices and 60’s era Detroit soul. The group has released 7 albums, the most well known being “All Your Summer Songs” which Pitchfork listed as one of the top 50 albums of 2003.
Their live act varies from city to city. Here is a description from Polyvinyl Records: “It wasn’t uncommon for SLGTM to show up in a town for the first time as a gentle chamber pop ensemble and come back a year later doing the same songs in a garage rock style with all new band members.”
The band will perform on Friday, September 21st at Louie’s Trophy House Grill as part of the Already Dead Family Reunion Festival. The show begins at 6pm.
Tickets are available for $7 in advance, or $10 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased here: http://alreadydeadtapes.bigcartel.com/category/tickets

On April 7th, Glowfriends (along with Cold Mountain Child) will be kicking off the release of their new album with a performance at 4th Coast Cafe. If you’ve never been to a show in Kalamazoo before, see this one. It’s shows like this that we do what we do.
Glowfriends – Nothing bad can be said about this band. They somehow turn dream pop, shoegaze, energy and vibraphones into pure sunshine. Plants can grow on this.
Cold Mountain Child – A band based out of Kalamazoo, “Cold Mountain Child” have a sound I’ve decided to call “Acoustigaze”. Have a listen:
