Jamie McCarthy Appears in Episode 8 of Ced~N~Teri

faith148 writes:
Transplanted local rocker Jamie McCarthy, son of the late WJR radio legend J.P. McCarthy, will appear in episode 8 of the new video series Ced N Teri that will debut at The Park Bar on Sunday, May 4th. Doors at 8pm.
The hilarious new series created by Mikey Brown, is redefining what it means to be a “sit” com. Ced N Teri is a politically-incorrect comedy about two, full-time couch potatoes and their cat. Shot locally at the Planet Ant Theatre in Hamtramck, Ced N Teri is quickly finding an audience on the mini screen at You Tube. The series is a little bit Clerks and 100 percent Hamtramck - beer, weed, pizza, TV, garage rock and music from Detroit bands in every episode.

Back In LA LA LAnd With Ty Stone
|
|
 Back in 2002, before he was signed to Top Dog, Ty Stone was just another struggling bandhead with a guitar, a dream and maybe enough attitude and a good enough voice to make that all work out for him. But the only way to find out for sure was to make some tough choices and risk everything he knew; he left his friends, left his band and left Michigan 2500 miles behind to find his fortune in Los Angeles - which, lucky for us, took him right back home to Michigan. Ty kept in touch all along the way and shared his LA stories with us in three installments: "How To Get A Gig In LA", "Mojave Marinola & The Desert Dream" and "How I Got A Decent F***'n Record Deal".
Now, six years later and much richer for the experience, Ty is back in LA to do some business and figured it would be a perfect time to reminisce and add another chapter to the story (thanks for remembering us Ty).

MB Welcomes Love Meets Lust
|
|
 Back in the late seventies the integrated circuit found its way into the music biz and begat synthesizers which brought a "new wave" of music to flush out the tried and tired. At the same time, the long hair and blue-jeans of the 70's gave way to spiky clipper-cuts, shiny Rayon shirts, skinny ties, big-block "Frankie says..." t-shirts and day-glo pink, green and yellow stretchies of the 80's - which were perfect for rock fans who wanted to dance again. It was a weird time for music and fashion, eventually giving way to a backlash of Grunge and guitars in the 90's. But in pop culture everything old is new again and New Wave is no exception. Which brings me to our latest band link submission in the newly created Synth Pop / New Wave category; the music of Love Meets Lust perfectly recaptures the vibe of 1980's New Wave. If you dig the selections of XM's "Fred" station (44) you're going to dig Love Meets Lust. But better than satellite radio, you can go see Love Meets Lust live and local at The Bellmont in Hamtramck on Sunday, March 16th with Malbec from Los Angeles, CA.

faith148 writes:
 Dendura (USA), the Egyptian-inspired, female-fronted progressive band with belly dancers, will join co-headliners Unexpect (Canada) and Shadowside (Brazil) for the second-annual Flight of the Valkyries festival at Station 4 in St. Paul, MN, on Saturday June 28. Flight of the Valkyries is the only festival in the USA to feature a complete lineup of female-fronted metal bands.
“I'm really pumped about the festival,” says Dendura drummer Justin Lee Dixon. “Exposing your sound and style to a whole new group of people is always exciting and, being that all the bands are female fronted, we are all happy to be a part of an event that is bringing together this ever-growing genre of music. But what I anticipate the most is sharing the stage with many talented musicians.”
Belly dancer Abida Blaze, who is known for her exotic, mysterious moves, will join Dendura onstage at the festival.

NuRokSol To Perform @ Bodog Battle Regional Finals in Atl.
|
|
 On Monday, March 10, 2008, NUROKSOL will be competing at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA with 11 other bands in the regional finals for the second season of reality TV show The Bodog Battle and for a million dollar recording contract with BoDog Entertainment (Wu Tang Clan, DMX, Fall From Grace). The 10-part series began last year with over 7000 bands competing online, 350 live battles nationwide and finally 10 bands ending up in the first season which aired both on Fuse TV and BodogTV online. Johnn "Rotten" Lydon of the Sex Pistols was one of the judges.
Lucky for us, NUROKSOL bassist GT (Flint/Detroit) has written down what the experience has been like so far, beginning with the local competition which took place at The Shelter several months ago, including the prophetic words of "Papa Smurf" and his magic beads and on to the House of Blues in Cleveland.
