Birthday Suit (12am)
(Ex-Sweet J.A.P. high energy punk rock from Minneapolis. The one band that promises to tear up the stage, leaving everything and everyone in their path a sweaty, broken rocked out mess)

E-zee Tiger (11pm)
(noisy & innovative 1 man band utilizing bass/drums/electronics to make a mesmerizing racket, from SF, Ca. last seen in Detroit opening for Lightning Bolt @ DAS blending Quintron?s inventiveness with a Load records (i.e. Neon Hunk, Pink & Brown) quirky, noisy rock sensibility )
enjoy him @

Le Flange Du Mal (10pm)
(wierdo clash of electronics,trumpets, drums & chaos from members of SubArachnoid Space & Crack W.A.R. [we are rock] from SF, Ca. A "synth-doom juggernaut" creating hard, infectious, fast and frightening music to dance and shatter concrete to)
listen & read @

(heavy atmospheric art rock a la Sonic Youth, Glenn Branca but w/ strings, of New Jersey, beautiful, transcendent and dissonant)
more @

Misty (9pm)
(minimalist rock duo staring off into space dreaming of Richard Hell and Devo but coming across with more of a Half Japanese, Jonathan Richman vibe. Straightforward rock songs that break your heart and twist your mind with their simplicity, intensity and sincerity)

nite 2
Sun. July 3rd

Human Eye reviewed
MP3

The Tyrades (12am)
(Chicago?s only punk band is also Chicago?s best punk band. A twisted wreckage, part No Wave punk spasms a la ?70?s era Souixe and the Banshees, part blazing rock frenzy reminiscent of SF,Ca.?s Crime at their most furious)
info at

Tentacle Lizardo (11:15pm)
(electronicsdrumsbass + scary screaming = infectious sidewalk anthems , from Detroit. A twisted afterbirth blending the Screamers droning intensity and Suicide?s throbbing pulse with the most primitive of Cromagnon rock rhythms)
MP3

Terrible Twos (10:30pm)
(young & spazzy rock n rollers in the Grande Detroit tradition. With nods to the balls out rock of the Stooges & Rocket 455, accentuated by the noisy chaos of the city. Somehow, they manage to pull it off despite being from Ann Arbor)

Red Red Red (9:45pm)
(incredibly good ferocious noisy punk freak out playing tight, high energy songs crafted from sweat and rage, spiced with otherworldly sounds and ideas, ex-Piranhas, Detroit )

The Sugarcoats (9pm)

nite 3
Mon July 4th
(final day begins in afternoon w/ a BBQ @ 6pm)

Mhz (10pm)
Spazzed out forward thinking rockers arise out of the past to rock a new legion of kids. Complex, noisy, balls out frantic rock. Favorably compared to other new wave-ish rockers like Brainiac, Devo, the Fall, etc ?
Listen to them at the Flying Bomb records website


Occasional Detroit (9pm)
(the weirdest band in the world, mixing performance & experimentation to create , in their own words, "experimental Hip Rock" a free form hip hop noise project led by enigmatic guru, BEYABABA)
get freaked out by them @
MP3

Cotton Museum (8:30pm)
(1 man w/ a bunch of electronics blooping blipping fuzzing away & such, but better than that tends to be. All conjured by the hands and mind of talented young Detroit area artist, Chris Pottinger)
check his shit out @

Christmas Woods (7pm)
(of Tentacle Lizardo, solo. electronics+drums+howls = the Haunting world of Xmas Woods, the stillborn bastard child of actor James and mutated alienoid space fungus)
