This Weekend I Have A 3 Day Appointment with Movement
It’s getting close to Movement time and I’m getting super excited just thinking about it. In a couple more days Detroit will be inundated (not that we aren't already) with electronic music fans, artists, DJ, dancers etc. I’ll be there for some of all 3 days taking photos, talking to artists and hanging out. You might even catch me moving around a little doing something that might be called dancing (that’s a stretch when you consider it’s me.) Movement will have 5 stages this year, each with their own flavor and atmosphere. I’ll be sampling a little bit of each stage. Here’s a short list of the artists I’m making sure I catch:
Saturday –
2pm Underground – Nina Kravitz
3:30pm Red Bull – Shigeto
6:30pm Electric Forest – SuperVision
8:30pm Red Bull – Dave Clarke
10:30pm Beatport Stage – Moby

Don't feel slighted about what's not on the list with over 100 artists there's just too many good artists and only one of me.
If you haven’t got your tickets already be sure to try and
make it down for at least one day. Movement is more than just an
electronic music festival, it’s a cultural celebration where many will travel
hundreds of miles to experience. There will be so many diverse sights and
sounds you will have more than a few stories and memories that will keep you
smiling until next year’s festival. See you there!
KOBRA AND THE LOTUS REVIEW.
I was blown away by Kobra and the Lotus. They lived up to the standard set by their cd. This is a band to watch.
I got a copy of their cd a couple of weeks before the show. Inspired from the heyday of NWOBHM, I was taken back to when I first got into metal. So, the cd set a high standard that seemed hard to live up too. Kobra and the Lotus took it to another level. Kobra Paige's voice is more than strong enough to hit the high notes and sustain the low growls. The band has the chops to play.
Kobra Paige's first concert, Judas Priest, is what inspired her to pursue her path into music and metal. Taking her cues from the heyday of metal and adding her mark, you will be taken on a heavy metal journey. Songs of fighting inner demons will be your guide. The band has the same inspiration which results in a tight knit heavy metal for a new generation.

IT'S THE BREEDERS.
FUN was the feeling of the night. It had infected everyone. The crowd was giddy with anticipation.
The band had fun too. Smiling the whole night. Bouncing around and dancing, smiling the whole night.
The crowd was mixed. There were people that were fans from before to kids waiting to see them from the first time. I even seen a family with their kids. It was a long night for the little ones, they went to sleep. Very cute.
I was a radio fan of the Breeders, but after this show, I'm more than a radio fan. I will be getting some of their music. I had a fun evening with The Breeders. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a semi regular tour. I know I and the crowd would be happy to see the Breeders every so often.
Enjoy the photos.

Movement Weekend Party Guide
Movement, the festival formerly known as DEMF is upon us as Memorial Weekend, one of the biggest summer-kickoff weekends in Detroit (the biggest for electronic music fans), is just a few days away. The 13th installment of our annual dance music showcase is almost here. On the heels of the electronic music's explosive rise to the mainstream, Movement 2013 is sure to be another great success and important display of Detroit to those coming from afar.
So many venues, promoters and both local and out-of-town talent have kicked it up a notch this year with parties literally happening everywhere at every time. Here are some of the highlights of what will be going on around Movement this year.
MUZZY
soundcloud.com/muzzybeats
https://www.facebook.com/
MuzzY is Detroit-Based Producer/Musician Dan Hacker. Thrust onto the scene at a young age, Dan found solace in the old school. Stylistically blending Motown and Jazz samples with modern hip-hop drum breaks, his music can best be described as "Soul-Hop". He combines a wide variety of influences from Stevie Wonder, to Led Zeppelin, to J Dilla with his own live Guitar playing; which together makes for an interesting recipe set to tantalize your ear drums. You can catch MuzzY bringing back the funk around Michigan and the Midwest, and also with the likes of GRiZ and Tone Poets (Live Jam Band with Freddy Todd, ill.so.naj, and Unc).

MOON BOOTS - French Express - USA
Moon Boots entered the world in the mid-1980s via Cape Canaveral. After years of service as the preferred footwear of celebrity astronauts (notably Tom Hanks), Moon Boots came to life during a classified experiment aboard the International Space Station. Little is known of what actually transpired aboard the shuttle, but in short, Moon Boots became a sentient creature, equipped with reason, intuition, and groove.
Before long, he grew tired of working for the space-military-industrial complex and found solace in the soothing sounds of underground disco and R&B boogie records. He knew it was only of matter of time before he was hung up like so many boots before him. He abandoned the program and used his savings to build a music-production studio in an unnamed U.S. location, where he is currently working.
