March 5th – Get With The Loudness – Satellite Records / Bell’s Brewery

As usual, there’s too much going on in Kalamazoo, and barely enough time. But you can count on everyone working together to bring you shows starting and different times, so everyone can go to everything! (if that’s the kind of Thursday you’re ready to have).

First things first, the first show is at SATELLITE RECORDS and features out of town hardcore punk experimenters out of Philadephia, SOUL GLO. Soul Glo have a somewhat oldschool punk sound blended with a lot of unusual takes on hardcore. Straightforward punk never seems to be the thing Kalamazoo loves, so this would be worth checking out.

Joining Soul Glo are local revived favorites SEVENTEEN AGAIN, as well as a gnarly no-wave punk band GET FUCKED (THE BAND).

THIS SHOW STARTS AT 6:00 PM! Early show so that you can leave and get on with your life, or continue on to the free show at Bell’s. Please bring donation for Soul Glo, as they are making their way on tour.

The show at BELL’S features three beloved local bands. Comes see them in a room that’ll make them sound how they’re supposed to.

EVERYONE AND THEIR EMPTY CUPS are long-standing grungy punk fuckery you can dance to.

MOLD are locals possessed by prog gods, the names of which you never knew.

and THE SHORTLIFE are the most sonically pleasing punk band in town.

This show is free for those who are 21+, and does not exist for those who aren’t. Starts at 9:00 PM. Tip yr bartender.

The final Village Castle show, Sat. 8/4.

Ahhhh the memories I have of Village Castle. Going to the first show
there, seeing Ackley Kid and SATANIZED in the basement, and playing
with Not the Wind, Not the Flag, Batcave, and Inflatable Best Friend;
I will miss this place. It is going out with a bang, and it is not to
be missed. The lineup is:

Sinatra from D.C. Math and noodle driven in the vein of Forever and
Always and old Native. http://sinatradc.bandcamp.com

Au Revoir from NJ. Driving and heavy post rock/metal. ie: Russian
Circles, Deadhorse http://aurevoirit.bandcamp.com

AILAT from Lansing. Power/nerd metal. Beware, shred ahead.
