4/23 – The New Diet // Kal Marks // Boring People // Blank

Leave a reply

Come on down to the Milhouse on Wednesday April 23rd ’round 9:00 PM with a few dollars for a responsibly rip-roarin’ time.

The New Diet from Chicago is simultaneously chill and loud with excellently written songs that make you feel all the feelings you need to feel.

 

Kal Marks from Boston shares a record label with some other quality bands we’ve had pass through our humble town, including Speedy Ortiz and Krill.

 

Kalamazoo locals Boring People and Blank will be playing as well.

Good times will be had. Bring those $$$ billz for those touring acts and remember:

Respect the house, respect each other!

 

Hallmark Holiday Made Better With Good Music 2.14

Whether you love or loathe Valentine’s day, whether you love or loathe love itself, chances are if you’re looking at the DIT page, you have some sort of affinity for music. The concept of love, even in a negative sense, is probably one of the most prevalent themes in music. Therefore, it’s no wonder there’s so much music happening in Kalamazoo on that infamous hallmark holiday day.

Probably the most consistent of DIY gatherings in Kalamazoo in recent years would be the annual Valentine’s Day Love Song Open Mic at The Fireplace Club – which is embarking on it’s 6th year! Bring your instrument of choice, bring your friends, and  bring your whole heart into it.

But if that’s not your thing, there’s more!

The Courthouse is having a punk, post-punk, emo sort of night. Featuring two out of town bands- Undesirable People (St. Claire Shores) and Our Lady (Springfield, IL) – as well as local best dudes, Blank. Both out of town bands are embarking on separate tours, so show your love by turning up to support ’em!

And on the venue side of things, there’s even more!

Louie’s will be having Valentine’s dinner and drink specials, coupled with music from Jake Nivala and The Green Gallows (New York).

Plus there’s also a free (thought 21+) show at Shakespeare’s featuring Vulture Circles Crow, Drink Their Blood, No/Breaks, That’s Blood, and Violent Vessel.

Take your pick, or take the Kalamazoo Valentine’s Day challenge and try for all four!

Much Love,
