After fourteen years of beating the pavement, beating their heads against the wall, and beating a truly distinct groove in the annals of Michgian indie music, South Normal has called it quits in a MySpace blog posting dated June 7th 2007. Singer/songwriter Nathan Mackinder made the sad news official at 11:46 am, just two hours after brother/bassist Jeremy Mackinder called it quits in his own MySpace blog and two months after a dispiriting New York City label showcase where the band was dismissed with, "Frankly, its just not what we're looking for right now". Their loss. Our loss. Click "read more" for Nathan's message to their friends and fans and links to the band's website and past articles about South Normal. - Mitch

The Surrogate Band, Michigan's PInk Floyd Tribute performs over 2.5 hours of The Best of Pink Floyd on Friday June 29 at The Magic Bag in downtown Ferndale, MI. 
The keyboardist in LEGEND is leaving the band because of his day work commitments. He sings a few fronts per set, backups, & has a great left hand to play bass with, Do you? Or, are you a monster bass player on a 4 string or excellent on a 5 or 6 string that also sings? Johnny Lightnin' does a lot of the singing but needs you to shine as the other lead singer. LEGEND plays out at both Modern Country and Classic Rock/Rock venues and is working almost every weekend. The play dates have been mostly in Livingston, Washtenaw, and Oakland counties, but LEGEND is always willing to branch out. The pay is quite decent as LEGEND is long known as a power trio. Example: Stevie Ray Vaughan or ZZ Top in the Rock market or as Blackhawk in Country music. Click "read more" below for a link and contact information.
