Man Forever / So Percussion / Prognosis Negative @ Louie’s 7/11/14

A few times each year, a show happens in Kalamazoo that is truly awe inspiring. The kind of event where everyone in attendance remembers and talks about it for months. Where the experience gets inside you and remains a subtle influence from there on.

I have been lucky enough to experience this kind of event several times this year already. Acid Mothers Temple. Keir Neuringer. Dead Rider. Chicago Underground Duo. Cheer-Accident.
If you attended any of those shows and felt the way I did, then this Friday at Louie’s is were you NEED to be!

Kate Slater has done this town a service by bringing in some absolutely incredible artists. Man Forever & So Percussion.

Man Forever is the side project of Kid Millions, drummer for legendary Psych band Oneida. So Percussion is a pioneering rhythm based group operating in the world of Modern Composition and the Avant-garde. Absolute pro level heavy hitters all around.

They are touring together with a brand new collaboration LP called “Ryonen” (Thrill Jockey).

Local Free Jazz duo Prognosis Negative will be kicking off the night.

Doors are at 9pm
Music starts at 9:30pm
Cover is $8
Attendance is 18+

December is BAD HISTORY MONTH at the Corner Record Shop – 12/11/13

It’s cold and snowy. You want to be inside a place. The Corner Record Shop is a place. Wednesday night, it is also -the- place to be.

From Boston, Bad History Month will be bringing acoustic versions of tracks by Boston band Fat History Month, from the record Sad History Month. If you like Modest Mouse even a little, You’ll love these guys. For those of you who are familiar with and enjoy About A Million, you may love these guys even more. Naked guitar. world-weary vocals. An ever-present sense of despair coupled with the thrill of living a minute at a time. Is this what being beautiful feels like? You be the judge.

If December is Bad History Month, then Kalamazoo is FUZZ TOWN. Crackling drone-noise-guitar by locals Josh (of Forget The Times) and Josh (of Joshualien, AKA Poncho). A favorite of the local experimental offerings, these guys will make you think about how you feel. Maybe even a little too much.

Finally, Local Boulder Saxsquatch will be playing an experimental solo set.

Doors are open ALL DAY because it’s a RECORD STORE. Bring bucks for the touring act! BYOB but don’t act a danged fool! The show will start at 9 and should be pretty cool! Hope to see y’all there.
