Subgenius
Description: Subgenius is a four-piece from Ypsilanti, MI. Their style ranges from peculiar, atonal dissonant silliness, to modern hardcore and metal, to heavy percussive slap bass funk. They seek only to be taken seriously, while not taking themselves too seriously... It's a simple request.

Rising Vacancy
Description: Rising Vacancy, was formed in the summer of 2005 by Ryan Geil (guitar, composing), and Kevin Simmsic (percussion, vocals). The two met by chance at a party, and shared common interests in music, and decided to start collaborating on musical ideas. Ryan called up Nick Hunter (bass, screaming) who was a former bass player for his old band, and asked him to come out and join the two for some jam sessions. Nick was enthusiastic about the idea, and decided that he wanted to get started up in the band scene again. For the rest of the summer the three began working on their music for the new formed band, Rising Vacancy, in hopes to become established in the Southwest Michigan area.

The Trio realized that they would need more than just three members to get the sound they were looking for so they began their search for a second guitarist. After many auditions, no one could fit the spot, or had the personality that the group was looking for. That was until Matt Budner (lead guitar), responded to a want ad posted on Myspace by, Rising Vacancy. Ryan and Matt talked back and forth through the site for a few weeks and eventually got a jam session arranged to audition Matt. As expected Matt was exactly what, Rising Vacancy, was looking for, bringing in a classical metal, and progressive sound to the bands music.

Now that the bands core structure had been formed they were ready to begin playing shows, and decided to jump right into the mix of things by playing at the, “Gull Lake Grad Bash Fundraiser,” which had been set up by other more established bands at the time. The show couldn’t have been better, as Rising Vacancy’s, post hardcore, yet melodic music was performed to perfection at the show. Great crowd response was recieved, as it was quite noticeable that the music was different, and didn’t follow the verse-chorus-verse structure that most music ballads are written to. After playing a few more shows, Rising Vacancy, realized that they were still missing something and went on search for a lead singer, a frontman.

Once again Myspace proved pivotal finding the fontman, Travis Borsma (lead vocals, keys, synth) who fit the spot well. Travis was charismatic and added another dimension to the band, having good drive, and a willing to try anything attitude.

Shortly after the addition of Travis, the band worked out recording their first EP with Plastic Room Studios, which was based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The successful completion of the EP was sure to bring success to the band, as they continued to play shows, and spread their music throughout all of Michigan, and the United States.

Paris Blue
Description: Dale Randall – guitars/vocals

Jeff Costello – drums/vocals

Joe Moore – bass

Paris Blue has been in existence since 1990. The bands credits include performing several hundred shows throughout the Midwest in thirteen different U.S. states as well as opening for many national acts including Extreme, .38 Special, Blue Oyster Cult, Joan Jett, Flotsam and Jetsam and many others.

The band has been honing it's collective songwriting skills since its debut release "Mistreater" in 1993. The 2000 release, “Stand My Ground”, was a tribute to the roots of Paris Blue. A true “80’s feel” rock album that celebrated the good times of rock-n-roll. During the “in-between years” (1994-1999), Paris Blue spent most of its time “on the road” polishing its live act.

With its current project, Paris Blue has made a giant step forward into the new millennium. With a cutting edge sound, the latest Paris Blue release, “Somewhere In The Middle” undoubtedly impresses anyone who listens. The combination of hard-edged rockers, bluesy riffs, and great melodies will, most certainly, be well accepted by the masses.

Paris Blue does not disappoint!
