THE LOWER LEISURE CLASS:
With whole-hearted soul and voice, Kalamazoo’s Lower Leisure Class write and perform energized earworms grounded in rock ‘n’ roll while sailing through the sonic stratosphere. The sextet’s acclaimed debut LP, Stories from the Lower Leisure Class, supplies “an unmistakable, identifiable restless sound,” according to Local Spins’ Ryan Boldrey. “To see this group shape their music around those stories is where things take off,” writes Derek Phillips at Glorious Noise. “It’s new, but steeped in nostalgia and references any good midwesterner will recognize.” With stage skills burnished to a fine shine as members of powerhouse Michigan bands including King Tammy, the Sinatras, and the Sleestacks – all of whose Leppotone recordings command a cult following to this day – the LLC move audiences to dance, sing along, activate, and engage.
NO BAILS:
NO BAILS are a goofy-footed sk8 rock 3peace from Kalamazoo, MI. From the shores of the Mighty Miss in Saint Louis to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in New York City, from shores of Lake Huron in Port Huron to Gulf of Mexico in New Orleans, No Bails has left… impressions everywhere they’ve played, perhaps. Proudly sponsored by Epyx Joysticks, Rag’n Metal, Doan’s, and Onion Dice. This will be their first show since 2019. They’re back, and aching, and back-aching to play!
KRASS KRINGLE:
Krass Kringle is a world famous holiday tune-master and Christmas crooner. Hailing from the South Pole, where he was raised by Satanic penguins, Krass Kringle is beloved by no one for his offensive, foul and sacreligious seasonal favorites such as “Santa’s Beard Smells Like P@#*y,” “Santa Gave Me HIV,” and “Merry Christmas, Mother F*&@%!”
