So this will be the second time I’ve written about Bat Cave without having seen them. I’m still really psyched to actually getting around to going to one of their shows, though. To reiterate: Batcave is Kzoo’s own: Matt Maverick, Andrew Mansberger, Isaac Lowery, and Matt Wood from such bands/acts as The Megaphones, Frank Fuzz, Tiny Rhythm, Philly Crawlers, respectively. Apparently they play some strange dance-y tunes. Based on their former bands alone, they are not an act to miss.

Astro Bats, from Grand Rapids, tag themselves as “psych”, “jazz and improv”, and “experimental”.

And lastly, Sista Mista.

Doors are at 8, show at 9. Ages 18+ $5. S’ya there.

Another eccentric Village Castle show!

Let’s get straight down to the details! This show will be featuring a handful of Michigan’s finest homegrown bands. Explicit Bombers (Howell), Brown Cow (Kalamazoo), Glory Hole Party Boys (Kalamazoo), Coma Nova (Kalamazoo), and Inflatable Best Friend (Kalamazoo).

Bonfire after Music.

Respect the House-Respect Yourself-Respect the Bands-Respect the Music.

This Friday, a show that needs no introduction.

Local living room legends The Almanac Shouters are calling off their hiatus for one night only. Nola, a founding member of the group, plans to move from town at the end of this month. The Shouters haven’t said it will be their final reunion show, but it very well could be. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of catching their incredible, energetic live show in the past, treat yourself and make it out to this show.

George Costanza, who will be kicking off their first tour at this show, was just a featured artist in a recent DITKalamazoo post, therefore needs no further description, but here’s a video (thanks to neobeatglory for the footage).

Lincoln County War will also be folking up the night with great stories and belted vocals. Here’s some footage of them performing at Victory House, courtesy of alexgilbert247.

This event is being hosted at The Ant Hill in the Vine Street Neighborhood this Friday and begins at 9:00pm. For more information, you can consult the Facebook event page.

Victory House presents experimental tunes for your listening pleasure!

Keir Neuringer previously played in Kalamazoo at Milhouse last winter, and is gracing us with his presence again. Keir is a multi-instrumentalist experimental composer, making strange and beautiful works, often based in Saxophone. His performance is captivating.

Saxquatch, well known local saxophonist will also be performing, with Matt Wood (of Batcave / Philly Crawlers) on drums. They have never performed together in this manner, so you’ll want to check it out.

Joshualien is a local minimalist electro artist who will make you feel like your in a trance playing an old-school videogame. Or that you want to dance. Or some other emotion you’ve not yet experienced.

The show starts at 9 PM, and will be donation based as Keir is traveling, so please bring a couple dollars if you can.

DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS!

Coming all the way from the Ft. Worth/Denton areas, this deadly band duo of Innards and Father Figure will blow your mind… Literally. Some of the best screamo music around!

In addition to this, Kalamazoo locals The Reptillian and Pan put the finishing touches on this show, with crazy performances and memorable riffs.
