Our Upcoming Shows!

Pete and I are really booked up for the next few weeks with our band 002!




Here is a list of our upcoming shows.

July 15th--- The New Dodge Lounge, Hamtramck with the Dirty News and Perfect Number: Event Page for Show at New Dodge

July 21st--- the Maidstone Theatre, Ypsilanti (more details coming soon)

July 29th--- Indiefest 2017 (Friday @ 2pm) @ the Ralston/Stone House W state Fairgrounds (Detroit): Event Page For Indiefest 2017


We are doing our best to promote these shows! We are a supporting act on each one, so we have to leave some of the decisions regarding event pages and set times to other people. It is my belief that it is important to start promoting weeks in advance. It makes me nervous when I have to wait for details and the event page has 2 people going! I hate nagging at people.

Well, after these shows, we will have completed 9 gigs! We need more shows for August! I have contacted several venues on my own, explaining to them my band is almost at 20 likes! You know what they want, at least 100 +. People don't understand, that the more likes a page has, the percentage of how many people people actually see your posts goes way down. That is why I haven't solicited non-interested pity likes from people. It is more efficient to promote through a personal page. Every day since I started our band page, I get mail from facebook stating I should run an ad. I might just do that, but only after we have some better recordings. I read an article that said once a band page has 1000 likes, only 2-4 percent of people who like it see your post. Its all part of the game to make you buy ads!

My voice is being silenced by the liberal media

Some people may be aware that a group I perform in, the Ill Itches, will be having a record release this Friday at the Marble bar here in Detroit. The band has done several interviews where the interviewer emails the band questions and we each answer them. In one such interview, all of my answers were omitted, and I heard from the other band members the music journalist got mad because I didn't take the interview seriously enough. I feel like I am in high school again. Here is a link to the interview as published: Ill Itches DeepCutz Interview. It was partly this incident with this interview that inspired me to start writing my own blog again. I really meant no ill-will with my answers to these questions. I just felt like the questions were "leading questions". You know what I'm talking about, questions where the interviewer is really looking for a specific response from the subject. I know the interviewer wanted me to get all sentimental and retrospective ab

That time I bought a Guitar for $1 at Guitar Center

Image
When I had just graduated high school, I was still working my job at a grocery store. I made enough money to go guitar shopping. I used to drive from rural Lenawee county to Toledo OH to get to Guitar Center. One day I heard a radio ad for a Guitar Center Labor Day Sale on September 5th, 2005. At this point in my life, Guitar Center was something I had only recently discovered. This ad was extra special... the loud demanding voice on the radio ad claimed Guitar Center was going to be selling guitars for just $1! The night before the sale, I drove down to the Guitar Center and arrived at about 10:30 pm. I began waiting at the front door of the business. I remember texting some of my friends from the grocery store I worked at, they ended up joining me about an hour later. Then, two other small town guys that went to my high school showed up randomly. The first 6 or 7 people in line, (me being first of course) were all from Lenawee county! I thought this was sort of funny because we a
