Detroit - Mud Coffee with Blender Magazine present Crud's New Year's Freak on Monday, December 31 at the Magic Stick. 
Hey everyone. I am so excited to tell you that my new video, "American Man", is now at Y'all Wire.com the internet's hottest place for Country Stars, Country Music & Country Videos. My video appears among country music royalty like Hank Williams Jr. & Kid Rock, Dixie Chicks, Trace Adkins, Faith Hill, Tim Magraw, Rascal Flats, Jerry Lee Lewis, Shooter Jennings, LeAnn Rimes and so many others I can't type them all. Plus, we're hosting a 100,000 Play Celebration contest over at Digital Rodeo where my Big 'Ol Train audition video for RockStar SuperNova has been posted.

The saying goes, "never look a gift horse in the mouth". It's supposed to be bad form, but in this case you're going to find a whole lot more than a good set of teeth. Gifthorse is an odd band to come out of Detroit amidst a sea of hip-hop hucksters and garage rock wanna-bees, but imagine a careful blend of CSN, The Eagles, Bare Naked Ladies, Stone Temple Pilots and a dose of The Grateful Dead thrown in for good measure. That's a holiday recipe that will keep your innards warm while the cold wind blows down the Cass Corridor. Definitely not a sound you'd expect to spring from the urban decay of po'town, but then considering how many people have already left Detroit, nobody should be surprised it produced at least one "Tumbleweed" - which is the title of their debut album. There's some real good stuff here. - Mitch
Graham Strachan, former lead singer of Robb Roy and current lead singer of National Ghost, just reminded us via e-mail that war is over / if you want it . No, he's not referring to the apathy of American citizens when it comes to demanding accountability from their so-called leaders, he's referring to a cover version of Happy Christmas by John Lennon & Yoko Ono he recorded with Robb Roy & Friends a back in 2002 to benefit childhood cancer research. The CD is no longer available, but you can still hear this rare recording on Graham's website. Chris McCall lends her lovely voice to this track as well as Graham's three daughters. There's other voices mixed in there too; in fact, if you listen very carefully you can hear yours truly warbling his way all the way through. - Mitch
I just finished watching the documentary No End In Sight about the disastrous post-invasion fiasco in Iraq that we're suffering to this day. Invading a country is easy, but occupying it turns out to be a tricky bitch. Anyway, when my attention finally shifted back to MB, I found it fitting that the next band we were to welcome was WAKE OF DESTRUCTION, a heavy-metal band out of Lapeer, Mi. There are other disturbing coincidences: both the re-construction of Iraq and Wake Of Destruction began in 2004 but didn't really get off the ground until 2007 (wait, did the re-construction of Iraq ever get off the ground?); both the Iraq War and WOD were conceived in a basement - one at The Pentagon and the other at guitarist Scott Warnke' house; Iraqis shed red on a daily basis and WOD played their first gig at The Red Shed in Caro, MI. Do we really need any more proof that their time has come? - Mitch
Though I never received the disc I was told to expect from Lime Regal, I was so anxious to get my ears on it I ponied up the cash and downloaded it from iTunes. Now that the Lansing-incubated, Detroit-forged band is receiving attention from all quarters, they probably don't need the support of little old MB. But unpopularity has never stopped me from sharing my opinions about the local music I really dig. Lime Regal's six-song ep "Making Me Wonder" is definitely now on that list. 
Michiganbands.com would like to welcome ThreePeace (sic), a "skunk rock" band from Empire, MI (that's the first knuckle of the pinky finger on your Michigan mitten) whose musical goals are nothing less than achieving world peace by channeling The Divine via the unifying third beat of reggae music. 
The holidays are now upon us and it is time once again for the fifth annual showcase "Home for the Holidaze" - a singer-songwriter music showcase and benefit for area homeless shelters. The event brings together local singer-songwriters and former Detroit musicians who are home for the holiday season. It is a chance for them to perform for a good cause as the proceeds from the event will go towards food donations to area homeless shelters. We also accept pet food donations to be distributed to the local animal shelters, Almost Home (
