| Woodward Whores host Open Mic |
|
 The Woodward Whores in conjunction with Barstar and Dr. Hifi (or whomever shows up) will be hosting an Open Mic every Tuesday at The New Way Bar in Ferndale. Walk-ins welcome. Uncomfortable pauses and empty spaces will be filled by The Whores. Tricks are up to you. Don't tell the wife, just come down to the The New Way and Get Yer Ya Ya's Off every Tuesday night or until we get busted for soliciting musicians. Here's a map.

| Fundraiser Highlights at The New Way Bar |
|
 Our fundraiser at The New Way Bar in Ferndale was a smashing success (well, I got smashed anyway) thanks to the self-less jams of Riverside Drive and The Kingsnakes. Both bands bashed the small, but well-packed room with unadulterated rock straight from the gut. They raised nearly three-hundred dollars for Michiganbands.com, securing our web-presence for 2003. We'd like to thank all the true believers in local music who cared enough to show up and support the cause, even if you were only attracted to a great double-bill. Click "Read More" for the details.

| Riverside Drive & Kingsnakes Step UP |
|
 When we were steeped in anxiety, wondering where our next server fee was going to come from, who was the first one to step up to the plate? I'll tell you who - Xina from RIVERSIDE DRIVE. Though she admits she's a starving artist, she volunteered to throw Michiganbands.com a fundraiser (click on image to the left for poster). Then she convinced one of Michigan's hottest tickets, THE KINGSNAKES to join the party too. What can we say XINA? You Rock! We invite everyone to join us at The New Way Bar on Friday, Dec 6th for a party and MB fundraiser that promises to get out of hand. Make Plans Now! - Mitch
