WIDR WEEK Kicks Off In Style

89.1 WIDR FM and BLACK JACK PRODUCTIONS present:

Electro-punk outfit CHEVEU (S-S Records/from France) will be making their triumphant return to Kalamazoo in support of their brand new LP "Born Bad", out now on S-S Records.

They will be performing live as part of WIDR FM's annual week long fundraiser.

Live show to take place at the
RANSOM STREET SOCIAL CLUB AND KICKBALL AUXILLARY
located at 329 E. Ransom in Kalamazoo at 8PM with
Kalamazoo's own THE MENTHOLS.

There will also be vinyl being spun by DJ TONY JACKSON and WIDR FM's own DJ CHUCK (host of "Down In Flames"). Get ready to DANCE!!!

Admission is $5.00.

The venue is located upstairs in the building on the corner
of Porter and Ransom (known to some as the 666 Building,
former home to punk clubs 3.1.G. and Monster Island.)

CHEVEU first played Kalamazoo over a year ago at Kraftbrau Brewery
in support of THE KING KHAN & BBQ SHOW.
They will be playing the next night, March 10, in Indiana
at Zoolegger's with the THE MENTHOLS.
Both bands are on their way down to Austin, TX
to play at the annual SXSW music showcase.
Below you'll find some live video clips of the Kraftbrau performance.

Black Jack Productions Flyer Archive #6

This was a good one. Doo Rag featured the one and only Bob Log III (long before his fabled appearance at WIDR FM's Barking Tuna Fest) and his partner in crime Thermos Malling. Their merch consisted of fucked up thrift store clothing (without a band logo anywhere to be seen, kind of looked like they may have found this shit on the side of the road) and copies of their latest album at the time ("Doo Rag, What We Do"), minus the LP sleeve (they weren't back from the printers yet).
At one point during their set, a fight broke out between the two. At first it was funny, then uncomfortable, as everyone in attendance realized they weren't joking. Then, the show just kind of ended.
Oddly enough, the bass player featured on the flyer
was not a member of Doo Rag.
I believe that it's the guy from Kerosene 454. Can anyone confirm?
Don't make me ask Joel Wick.

WIDR Dance Party = Goodtimes

Thanks to all who came out last night for the WIDR Dance Party.
It was a smashing success.
Also, thanks to my fellow WIDR DJs Dirty Dub, Richard Bowser and
Bat Guano for spinning the goodtimes party jams, and to the Mighty Narwhale for performing.
Bat Guano flipped me off for ending my set with
Cyndi Lauper's "Goonies 'R' Good Enough".
Thank you, thank you Jesus.

I might be back later today to post some new flyers.
Maybe.

This was my second time seeing The Jesus Lizard (the first was a year or so previous in Grand Rapids at The Intersection with Girls Against Boys).
But this was out of hand. The show was oversold by around 100 people. Club Soda could hold 500 legally (so I was told). There were right around 600 persons in attendance. I made it up close to the front of the stage for In Ourselves and didn't (couldn't) move until after The Jesus Lizard had finished. Ah, the good ol' days.
