 Many, Many BIG THANKS to . . .
First, Michiganbands.com would like to give Big Thanks to All The Bands who drove from all over the state to perform at Frogapalooza, did it all on time (without any bitching) and treated everybody with respect and graciousness. We are humbled by your support, your professionalism and your endless well of talent. Special Thanks to Space Nelson, Sonic Disturbance, Radiocraft, 83rd Dream and The All Stars (yes, I said The All Stars) for donating cash and goodies to the cause. • Big Thanks and Big Hugs to Fish and Molly for being there to support us in our time of need (Fish, I would be buried in a laundry pile of MB T-Shirts if it wasn't for your merch-table genius! And Molly, thanks for working with what we had!). • Big Thanks to Brad @ Bullfrog for being such an attentive host (we were never in need of anything). Big thanks to the Bullfrog Security and Wait Staff who made sure everyone was safe and happy. • Big Thanks to Soundman Mike for making all the bands sound their best and doing it all with a nod and a smile (there were many compliments from the musicians). Big Thanks To Guitar Center (Canton) for donating a drum-set for the bands to use. You made our lives and set-up so much easier and more efficient! Finally, Big Thanks To Everyone Who Attended Frogapalooza and to everyone else who made this 3-day, 27 band marathon possible and successful. We hope we didn't forget anyone (it's been a very long weekend) but if we did we give thanks to you too!

- Mitch and Webmaster Rick

 There's Still Time To Show Your Support - and dig the music!
It's already been a long, but music-saturated weekend for Webmaster Rick and I, but the bands keep coming and you still have an opportunity to show your support (Sunday, March 14th) and enjoy a full day's worth of entertainment for only $6. Starting at 2 p.m. we have Backhand, a young group from the Flint area. At 3 pm it's Sonic Disturbance, a one-man electronic act who dropped off a stack of free EP's for the crowd last night. At 4:30 we have Sarah Brosch, (formerly of "Reagan?") who's been busy working her solo act on the coffee-house circuit. For the dinner hour we have Laura Wilke, a country artist whose been recording in Nashville. And from our state's capitol in Lansing, we have JIVA (which is a sanskrit word for "the living soul") at 7:30. Coming all the way down from their weekend gig in Traverse City, Maybe August will be taking over the stage at 9 O'Clock. Finally, Soul Driven Dan and his crew will be setting the Redford straight with some hard stuff and Busy Signal will be taking us home - where we'll sleep for a week! Check out these bands online by visiting our Line-Up page and we'll see ya there, right?

 Radiocraft Featured Performance Tonight @ Frogapalooza
RADIOCRAFT is ready, willing and able to bust out a top-flight performance for you tonight at The Bullfrog (Sat, March 13th). It is our distinct pleasure to play host to this rare and talented band from the Washington/Romeo, MI area who've given us at least as much support as we've given them. If you haven't yet purchased a copy of their brilliant debut [IN STEREO] we strongly suggest you do (click here). If you're more of the "download-it-to-my-iPod" kind of person, Radiocraft music is now available digitally at Apple's iTunes, Napster, and other pay-per-song sites (click here). Come out to The Bullfrog early (1pm) to catch all 11 BANDS of various genres today for a measly $6 and cap off your Saturday with a pleasing dose of Radiocraft.

  Last & Frequency 54 to Provide the Pounding
Don't think we've forgot about you hard rock and metal fans out there. Sure, Frogapalooza is going to start out with some soul, power-pop and MOR rock, but it will be the heavy hitters taking us all the way to hotel-motel time tonight (Friday, March 12th). Last and Frequency 54 respectively will be pounding down the walls of the Bullfrog into the wee hours of morning. So take your ibuprofen and get out your neck brace, folks - there's gonna be some head-bangin' tonight!!

 Don't Miss Robb Roy tonight @ Frogapalooza
Don't miss a rare performance by Robb Roy at The Bullfrog tonight for the kick-off to Frogapalooza. If all goes as planned, they'll be taking to the stage around nine-ish tonight (Friday, March 12th). The Dearborn-based quartet doesn't make it to Redford very often so this should be a special treat for everyone from the area.

 Teddy Richards to Kick-Off Frogapalooza Friday Evening
If you don't think there's any good reason you should get to The Bullfrog early this Friday (March 12, 2004) for the official 6 p.m. kick-off of Frogapalooza, think again. Not only will you get a much better parking spot but more importantly you'll get to witness an heir to music royalty strut his own stuff! Teddy Richards has decided to beef up his set and bring in the band to give MB a right and proper commencement. Click "read more" below.

 It's Not Too Late: Join The Cobalt Party Revolution
The Cobalt Party Revolution has a killer deal for you: seventeen tracks of "Slave to The Groove" for only $5.99. The Fair Haven, MI based hip-hop-garage band re-mixed and re-released their celebrated debut in 2003 while they busy themselves recording their follow-up due later this year. CPR mixes elements of old-school hip-hop with lo-fi garage rock (think del la soul meets The Beastie Boys) with an emphasis on humor and having fun that makes their beats approachable to music fans of every genre. Throw in some new-school sampling techniques, unorthodox instrumentation like a "See & Say" and even a zipper and you have the perfect party companion for Spring Break '04. Click "Read More" below for links and an important live appearace coming up this weekend.

 Gary Jibilian: NAMM Survivor
Stickest Gary Jibilian escaped a Michigan snow storm to attend the Winter NAMM show and play some gigs around Annaheim, CA back in January '04. Along the way he "discovered" a helpful celebrity host, played a gig at "14-Below" ("brrrrrr...."), did two impressions of Beavis & Butthead in order to secure some drum cases, was 'bombarded' by musical gods (including Steve Vai, Bill Bruford, Joe Satriani, Stu Hamm and many more), nearly got hired by Donald Trump (unbeknownst to Trump), and learned that no matter how cool you think your instrument is, you will always lose to a couple of scantily clad Dean Guitar girls. Click "Read More" below for links to Gary's NAMM adventure.
