It's hosted by Stanley the Madhatter and will feature, Deniz Tek (from Radio Birdman), Scott Morgan and the IrRationals, Gorevette and Mazinga. Hiawatha Bailey (from the Cult Heroes) will also be joining Deniz and Scott during their set to perform a few Stooges songs in honor of the late Ron Asheton. DJ Jeremy Wheeler of the Bang Dance party will be spinning records inbetween bands. He also designed the amazing hand drawn limited editon poster which will be avalible for purchase at the show.
It's only $10, doors are at 9:30, Mazinga goes on at 10pm. Advanced tickets can be purchased on the Blind Pig Web site. Don't miss this show. It's going to rule.

Halloween Weekend!

Here is what all you people in Southeast Michigan should be doing this weekend.

Friday Oct 30th at the Blind Pig.
Mazinga will be performing a 20 song Misfits tribute set along with Suicide By Cop, who will be performing as Minor Threat. Should be an old school punk rock party night at the Blind Pig! Plus the ladies of the TICKLED FANCY BURLESQUE CO.!


On Saturday Oct. 31 Halloween night there is only place to be!
THE HALLOWEEN BANG! at the Blind Pig.


See you all there!

R.I.P Dickie Peterson.

Man, what a bummer year. First Ron Asheton, then Lux from the Cramps and now Dickie Peterson from Blue Cheer.

I love Blue Cheer. Dickie's vocals were incredible. I'm so glad I got to meet him and see BC a few times. He was a super nice dude.

Dickie Peterson and I at the Magic Stick.

Here is their classic version of Summertime Blues. I remember seeing this as a young kid of 13, it made me want to Rock!

Rationals @ The Blind Pig, Oct. 24th!

This show is going to rule! Jeremy Wheeler out did his self on this poster.

Rational weekend for a Bang!

Howdy folks,

Here is what I've got going down.

I'll be playing guitar for the Rationals CD release party on Friday night over at the Magic Bag in
Ferndale. The show is in celebration of the release of the Ace records CD comp "Think Rational". I'll be playing along side Matthew Smith on guitar, Jim Diamond on Bass, and David Shettler on Drums and of course Scott Morgan on lead vocals. Should be a stellar night. The Howling Diablos & The Space Heaters will be opening the show. Tickets are $12.00 adv. The doors open at 8pm.

On Saturday night I'll be here...

This Saturday, Robo Bang + Punk Rock Prom 2009

This Saturday you'll have at least two options for maximum party time in our little town of Ann Arbor, and if you're really up on your game then you'll take advantage of both.

First off, if you like Robots, dancing your ass off to interplanetary boogie and donating money to a good cause at the same time, then you'll want to head over to the Blind Pig for the Robo-Bang! There is sure to be some sexy cyborgs and gorgeous droids shaking their metallic bodies to outrageous jams provided by the Bang DJ's all for your audio visual enjoyment. Proceeds from the event will be donated in support of 826Michigan.

If that doesn't exactly fit your idea of a good time, and you would rather get your ears shattered by thunderous high energy Rock 'N' Roll, then just skip a few blocks over to Main St. and the Club Above the Heidelberg, where you'll find the 2009 Punk Rock Prom in full swing after 9pm. The theme for this year is "This Tragic Moment". Make sure to dress to impress! Music and entertainment will be provided by the bands: MAZINGA, Versificators, Bantha Fodder and Cock Snot (From Grand Rapids), as well as DJ's Jef Porkins and Nate Pancakes spinning punk vinyl all night. Who will be king and queen of the prom? You and your mom?

Come and find out.

I challenge you all to attend both events, since they take place within blocks of each other. I'll be at both. See you there. What the hell else are you going to do on a Saturday night around here?
