Agitated Guitar Music Showcase @ Milhouse 7.12

Although Milhouse has had a few returning touring acts, Speedy Ortiz will be the first to return three times in just about a years time! Although this act has been getting some attention from major publications, they’re still attempting to run their tour circuit through some favorite DIY spaces – Kalamazoo included.

SPEEDY ORTIZ are on tour to promote their new album, Major Arcana, which came out July 9th. The four piece band has a huge sound, with heavy drums and spiraling/strange guitar lines, all matched with unbeatable catchy hooks.

Also performing will be locals CRASH CITY SAINTS, the local longtime running shoegaze band featuring a changing line up and evolving sound, who first brought Speedy Ortiz to Kalamazoo. SHARK BEACH the brand-spankin’-patent-pending new band featuring a few of those buddies from MINUTES will be playing their first set. And finally, local hit makers and heart breakers BORING PEOPLE will knock your socks off with delightful bummer tracks as they always promise to do.

If you like things loud, weird, and stuck in your head for days, this is the show for you.

Please bring donation for the touring act. Please respect everyone at the house. Be kind, rewind. THIS SHOW IS STARTING EARLY. We’re kicking things off at 7:30! The reason for this is that once this is done, you can get TWICE AS MUCH ROCK by going to Wayne Manor to see Jake Simmons & The Little Ghosts, The Island of Misfit Toys (Chicago, IL), The Dead Records (Fort Wayne, IN), and Saxquatch & The Bridge Band.
