Johnny No Stars
Description: Johnny No Stars is a four piece psychedelic metal band out of Ann Arbor, MI. The band exhibits the talents of Lars on vocal ambiance & electro-diseases Baker on tweaks & squeaks, Bender on phatness, and Del on mad beats. They have been playing together as a band since the fall of 2000, but all four members have been involved in projects with each other since the mid '90's. The band has recorded and produced their most recent work themselves. They are currently working on their first full length album due out in the spring of 2005.

Johnny No Stars has gained quite a local fan base in the past few years, having performed at the Blind Pig, St. Andrew's & The Shelter, The Elbow Room, Scalici's, the Bullfrog, the Emerald Ballroom, and the Heidelberg, among others. Johnny No Stars has enjoyed local success with their unique form of metal and psychadelic techno which draws on influences from such bands as Tool, Radiohead, and Pink Floyd, to name a few.

The Conspiracy
Description: The inception of this unique metal quartet that hails out of the Traverse City area of northern Michigan was crafted by two talented musicians growing tired of the mundane sound and music fashion that plagued the heavy music scene. They recorded and released their four song demo in December 2002 entitled Conspiracy under their own label Mad Messiah Music and distributed over 800 copies locally and world wide to online webzines and record labels. Surprisingly enough the band received many great reviews of their demo effort, writing, engineering and producing it themselves under their own label, studio and budget. Shine the last number on their demo made it all the way to Northern Michigan Rocks sponsored by WKLT broadcasted throughout the region and the neighboring states. In August 2003 the band collaborated upon a slight name alteration to The Conspiracy to identify themselves from other projects trying to copy and use their name and avoid any legal issues. They re-entered Steele Vault Studios in September of 2003 to record their debut, 3000 Crosses released through Mad Messiah Music September 2004. The album concept was derived from the groups personal affects and metaphors of September 11th 2001 and was solely dedicated to the fans and everyone impacted from the devastating events on that tragic day. The Conspiracy has been successfully building their fan base the past four years by writing and performing original, powerful, melodic heavy metal music that keeps building and strengthening their catalog in hopes to be recognized by bigger labels and distributors in the industry.

Love and Violence
Description: Hailing from the depths of nothingness, Northern MI, came 4 guys with nothing but music in their souls. Progressive music, with a metal backbone, with suttle hardcore and classic metal elements. Melodic vocals, with shades of fury; heavy guitar, with harmonizing melodies, and soft progressive interludes, driving low end basslines, and unique druming styles, make LNV what it is today. Picture A Perfect Circle meets Living Sacrifice meets Metallica, with a small earlier Thrice background.

ULTRATHRASH
Description: We play original thrash/death metal music like it used to be. Fast, heavy and intense with our own flavor. We're not saying that we are the heaviest/fastest band around or are some new style that no one has ever heard before, just go to our website and play the clips to hear what we sound like since using your ears is better than reading a description.

The band is based in Grand Rapids and was started by frontman Adrian who, over several years, slowly assembled the group.

Now in 2005 ULTRATHRASH is fully formed and playing live gigs in West Michigan. A CD is soon to be released so if you like what you hear you'll be able to get your own copy.

This is not Nu-metal, Grunge, Alternative, Metalcore, or any other alternative based offshoot. If are a metalhead or someone who just appreciates well written fast and heavy music complete with solos and changing parts then you will probably be pleased with our efforts. You should enjoyseeing us playlive shows as well.

If you don't think that you prefer this genre of music I'd say give us a try anyway. Other people have enjoyed ULTRATHRASH performances and found the visual aspect of this band to be entertaining and the music to be full of energy. We are here to have a good time just like you are, so get out on the town, catch one of our shows and say hi (like all the other local bands we appreciate your intrest).

Show information, music clips, merchandise, etc. are all available on the website.
