LUME – Chicago, IL – heavy noisey shoegaze with influences from post-hardcore. Really big sound

NORTHERNER – Macomb, MI – beautiful, soundscape post-rock

THE TINY UGLY GERMS – Port Huron, MI – melodic punk / post hardcore with some elements of droney-shoegaze

SIDELINED. – Sterling Heights, MI  – pop punky/hardcore/punk rock hearkening back to nights spent at The Fat Guy House

APPLEGATE – Kalamazoo, MI – ethereal blues big harmonies

Come on out for the Goat House’s first-ever show! Enjoy sweet acoustic goodness in our living room! We have three local singer-songwriters who will delight your ears, PLUS all the way from Scotland, folk-punker Billy Liar! Due to some last-minute Facebook wizardry, we will be joined by BILLY LIAR, “the romantic punk singer, travelling the world with a battered acoustic guitar and writing about everything he observes. He is a whirlwind of acoustic strings, folk poetry and trusty chords.”

Our lineup Thursday will include:

Kalamazoo favorite ARMS AKIMBO, whose songs always get stuck in my head at the most inconvenient times.

Up-and-coming JAIME PENNELLY, who sez: “music, performing, singing, and songwriting makes me come to life.” That’s funny, hearing her music makes me feel the same way.

JAKE NIVALA, whose gorgeous guitar playing and pensive lyrics are perfect for these autumn days.

Show starts at 8pm. Email ditkalamazoo@gmail.com for the address. See you there!
