Jason Roth has begun fundraising efforts over at Kickstarter for STICKY FINGERS; THE MOVIE. Check it out here.

Sticky Fingers stars legendary and bargain basement names like Fred “The Hammer” Williamson, Larry Kaufman, Dan Boujoulian and more!

Detroit legend 82Fresh (AKA Namreh Iglesias AKA MC Precise AKA Shawn King AKA Creative BadAss) has joined our collective. Shawn has recently been delving into the visual media in addition to his music.

I’ve watched Shawn grow creatively over the years, but it’s the coming months I am most excited about. VisualNoiz will be a venue for Shawn to grow into his own visual voice as he moves into editing and directing video.

VisualNoiz has grown beyond it’s Motor City roots over recent years, but Shawn is taking it back to the 313. Returning to the Mitten from adventures out West, I’m sure we will see this perspective shift show up in his new music and video creations.

11.11.11 brings the release of Moonlight Never Shined So Bright by Christine Hoberg.

To celebrate, she asked me to help create a video for Sometimes, I had the privilege of being the editor and sometimes cameraman.

Free iPod friendly video here.

Black 47 took us out on the water with Rocks Off. A half hour after leaving Skyport Marina, the band the stage and rocked the house.. err. rocked the boat.

Downloads coming soon.

The Barr Brothers final show of the summer before the debut label release this fall.

The intimate Rockwood provides Brad a wonderful birthday venue. He literally roped in the audience to participate, showing off his tricks and letting the room experience involvement in the performance. He sent thread out into the crowd, attached to his guitar. As the audience changed the tension, the noise would come through his guitar pickup. Very fun trick! I’ve seen him do it before but this time he actually explained it a bit.

Two new songs, still untitled, will be forthcoming after the album drops, per Andrew’s request, he’d prefer if the new tracks are first heard via the studio release. Check back in the fall to download those tracks here.

Caught Kim Rose Project just before Rock Rebels Rising at National Underground.
She was refreshing and down right rockin. I look forward to seeing more of her in the city.

This was the first public performance of Go Asshole Go, which is a music video I am helping Rock Rebels Rising create. I always dig when I can experience the first time something was played. Gonna be so fun to pal around with these cats.
