Hukster
Description: Formed in the fall of 2003, Hukster has quickly gained a reputation as a high-energy, crowd-pleasing band, performing both originals as well as a wide variety of cover tunes. With a unique blend of superb female and male lead vocals, shredding guitar work and a rock solid rhythm section, Hukster has already acquired a strong following in the Lansing bar scene, recently becoming a crowd favorite at 621, on Michigan Avenue. Hukster’s strength is found in the diverse musical background of its members, the variety of songs in their repertoire, and the energy, fun and charisma the band brings to the stage. If your bar crowd is hankering for a band that can tear the roof off the joint, Hukster is sure to please.

HABITUAL
Description: Michigan natives Chad Griffin, Jordan Cowen, Jake Larson, and Andy Jacobs have pooled their talents to create a rock band that has broken records in the SE Michigan area. The four members have been performing together since August 2002, when they played their first gig at Sunny's Campground in Wauseon, Ohio. Prior to that Jacobs, Cowen and Griffin played parties together and got together for impromptu jam sessions. The group had booked the gig at Sunny's and needed a bass player. Larson, who had jammed from time to time with Jacobs, switched from guitar, which he's played for 17 years, to bass two weeks prior to the gig and since has continued as the band's bass player as well as providing background vocals. Jacobs plays drums and splits lead vocals with Griffin, who plays rhythm guitar. Cowen plays lead guitar and also contributes background vocals as well as a lead vocal or two. "It's hard, in a small community, to find four guys who are musically talented on different instruments and all are on the same page," said Jacobs. Since their first gig in 2002, Habitual has been booked and rebooked at local venues. The group plays a mix of '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and current music that appeals to a wide audience and Cowen said their performances are high energy. "We make it a show..." said Cowen. It's the immediate chemistry that Jacobs and the others believe has helped the band to early success. The four, who are all in their mid-20s, have grown up in the area and have known each other for years. "We don't want to be the kind of band where we just know each other as guys in the band. We hang out together. We go camping. We go on road trips. We're average Joes," said Griffin.
"One nice thing," added Larson, "is that most of us have been friends or have known each other since kindergarten. Growing up around here, we have a built in fan base that loves to see us up there as much as we love to be up there." Individually, each member has more than 10 years of individual playing experience and all are self-taught. This is the first time any of the four has been a member of a band. Jacobs said the group has come a long way since its first gig, and each member as well as the group as a whole has improved with each performance. "I just think that every time we play we get better. We think that and people tell us that," said Larson. As word of mouth has spread, the band is performing more frequently. Jacobs said the most difficult part of playing so frequently now is that time to get together and practice is limited. All four have full-time day jobs. The group is working toward creating an album of original works and to get bookings in other areas. Currently, much of the band's time is devoted to learning new music to keep shows fresh. "We've come a long way in a short time," said Jacobs. To learn more about the band and its upcoming gigs visit the Habitual website at www.habitualband.com.

Free Beer
Description: Interesting News from the Free Beer Compound: Apparently, a few people think
that Free Beer is a pretty good band. Good enough, we figure, to write our name
down on a ballot. It appears that enough people did this
writing-Free-Beer-on-a-ballot-thing that it resulted in Free Beer being voted
2nd Place Best Local Band in The Detroit News. now, if you cant believe it
either...here's the link...

http://detnews.com/michigansbest/2006/entertainmentpotpourri.htm We're
telling you this for two reasons. 1) While we're confident that we dont suck as
a band, We're pretty sure that we're not the second best band in Detroit. The
members of Free Beer are nothing if not realists and we know that we are
entertaining and good for a laugh or 3 (sometimes at our OWN expense). We're
just concerned that expectations might fly a little too high and you might start
think that we're only slightly less talented than those hacks, The Beatles who
didn't even place in the top three. It's not important that they're not from
Detroit, or still even "band", I just liked the phrase "...those hacks The
Beatles...". My point is; Be Realistic. If we were great, you'd hear about us
playing the Fox theatre, not in your backyard! Free Beer has always exceeded
expectations, but an accolade like this could lead you to expect more from us.
And that would be bad. And the second reason I'm rambling on is You should plan
to see us sometime soon like maybe on September 22 at Hermann's Olde Towne
Grille in Plymouth! www.freebeernet.com
for more details. Remember, Free Beer is a good, entertaining, hard working band
- - that some people (not us) consider the second best band in Detroit.
