 Mushroomhead, an industrial metal band from Cleveland, Ohio. will set the stage ablaze at the Jackson County Race Track , Jackson County Fair Grounds, Jackson, Michigan, Saturday, June 25, when they play Rockapalooza 2011 (#4). 

Says promoter Tim Corser, CEO of Kings of Rock Entertainment, "(I am) Very excited for Mushroomhead. I'd say they have been the 2nd most requested band that people ask me to bring to Jackson."

Blending sonics and attitude borrowed from metal, techno/industrial and rap, with the limits of Rock theater, Mushroomhead will create a show the Jackson, Michigan area will talk about for decades.

Rocker Lordd Virgil is recording his global, viral hit song “Flint, Michigan” with Sponge producers Andy and Tim Patalan (Sponge, Taproot, Throttlebody). The original viral video for the song has been seen in 60 countries thanks to YouTube and now the rocker is taking the original bedroom-demo version of the song into the studio at The Loft in Saline, Michigan.

“Virtually, the video for ‘Flint Michigan’ did a world tour without me. Hey, what gives?!,” Lordd Virgil said with a laugh. “That video probably has more frequent flyer miles than Richard Branson, but the original song didn't travel much further than the bedroom until now. The least I could do was drive a couple hundred miles and get into the studio to make a proper recording.”
