Loud Heavy Punk By Way Of Canada, Ohio, Wisconsin and Here – Milhouse – 3.8

Kalamazoo, forever splitting at the seams with music, is unruly almost every day of the week. Saturdays are usually the most chaotic, as that’s when the most band requests come in and the most shows are able to be set up. Sometimes, bands that fit perfectly together will all want the same day, though they have nothing to do with each other. Sometimes, you’ve just got to have three touring bands play at one show. With there, Saturday March 8th is filled to the brim with hard hitting punk, post hardcore, distortion and feedback.

GREYS coming all the way from Toronto, Ontario are a loud rock band encompasing well-melded aspects of punk energy and passion with a subtle catchy appeal. Personally one of the best live shows I witnessed last year.

DEADSET from Milwaukee are a new band featuring old friends from ALTA. Heavy hardcore and metal, brought to you by the experts in our Wisconsin sister city.

STELLA of Columbus, Ohio bring their own brand of noiserock and post punk that’s weird enough to get you interested, heavy enough to keep you listening.

PLUS LOCALS BODIES (A new screamo two piece featuring some of the swellest folks you ever did meet) and ANYBODY BUT THE COPS (local favorite disaster punk band without microphones)

STARTING AT 8:00 PM. THREE BANDS ON THREE TOURS DONATE DONATE DONATE. RESPECT THE HOUSE AND BE GENERALLY EXCELLENT.

WIDRAMA Kicks Off 12/7

WIDR fm, Kalamazoo’s local college/community radio station will be bringing a monthly local showcase to the 411 club. WIDR has hit some hard times, as much of their funding from WMU has been cut. To help supplement this loss, they’re doing rad stuff such as this!

This show will feature The Reptilian who have recently returned from a tour in the UK, and will likely be bringing fresh tunes as well as old favorites.

Also newer to the Kalamazoo scene, Onn will be bringing their brand of heavy, intricate, techincal rock.

Finally, Totally Rad – Kalamazoo’s finest lo-fi, twee, surf band will be making an appearance.

Doors open at 9, show starts at 10, and will have a 3 dollar minimum donation (for the good cause that is local radio that does not suck).
