Dispatch Form TasteFest - Day Three - Friday, July 6th

Well today i got a haircut yeah!

and just like always in this year Cityfest i was late getting out of the house to go to cityfest, not only i got a hair cut but also i was doing a post ask my friends in Culture City to show up at Liz Copeland gig tomorrow at the Pure Detroit stage. i did not get out until 4:15 and got there about a hour later.

So that mean i miss the carjack. gig at the pure Detroit stage rats.
but i did see part of his act on Wednesday Night at the Cityfest after gig and it was very good.

and believed or not the first band i saw "The Come-Ons" there Front woman [who is one of the closest female friend i have] Deanne Iovan also have a hair cut as well and she cut it short like mine cut, there gig was very good considering they don't play that offend, the band which included Bryan Foreman, and Dirtbombs drummer Patrick Pantano where join on stage the Sirens Front woman Muffy Korena and ex-sirens and now full time mom Miss Shelly as back up singers a prefit warm-up for Muffy as her band played for the 1st time since the CD released gig at the near by Northern Lights Lounge way back in February.

I was going to the park stage to see a band at the park stage by the last song by the Come-Ons, A Donna Summer song brought me back in, after i saw Deanne and her husband to say hi and compair short hair cut, The next band i saw the park stage is the local folk band the Syreens with there new member Local Solo hero aurdra kutbth they were very good as as they relax the Crowd on the hot afternoon as i relax after walking for a few miles on a blister toe.

so i walk around the New Center area a bit as every one is still recovering from the EPIC "weird Al" the night before as i take a short cut from the main stage to the pure Detroit and at the same ducking fan who came to see "High School Musical" which is playing at the Near by fisher theater inside the fisher building [it playing thought out the weekend at the same time as Cityfest] but are we worried about, No1 know full well that the Number of indie music fans outnumber high school musical fans by a ratio of 2:1 of 3:1 depending of how many fans you know.

so i walk back to the park stage and walk the many side project of The Sights Eddie Barkest as i saw his second side project The Drinking Problem who i saw for the first time since that Hamtramck blow out last march, the band which made up of member of other bands in Detroit like The Hard Lessons, the Rants, and the Syreens and they play the local indie alt.-country and they sound great and they have a good vibe

and after that gig i have to go back to the main stage to see the 1st of two gigs during cityfest on the the main stage, the displays now they whip up at the main stage after winning the Detroit News battle of the band back in March during that crazy weekend when WWE Westelmania was in town, there act was very good amd very rocking i wish there was more people to see this young band at there 6:30 PM slot about a 1/4 who saw "Wired Al" Epic gig last night, but in there defecne they draw up a good crowd made mostly of there young fans.

after the gig i was park at the park stage for the rest of the night, the first band played there 1st gig since there February CD released gig, there are outrages wild rock band "The Sirens" who was really good with there outfit [all dising by by there front woman muffy] all made out of Newsprint from the Newspaper the band look great as they entertain the big crowd at the park stage which is good to see.

i was going to the Northern Lights Lounge for a little bit but i stick around to see a very good friend of mind who do a very good hula-hoops act, her name is Revolva she made the crowd goes wild with the wirled hoops which fun to see.

after i came back from a block down at the northern light Lounge i saw the last band of the night, "The Detroit Corbas" now i was only going to say for the full set but a friend of mine who happened to live in the same city which i live whan to go home, So i left early myself, but in the six song i saw there sound very good and no Rachel was very kind and very nice to the crowd [remember this is a family event] as the band get ready to goes on tour for the summer with Willoz which will stop at the stick on Memorial day weekend.

I did not got to the post show at northern lights i went to the belmont to see a band i not seen in a whied the local indie pop band I, Crime which sound very good.

Tomorrow will be very special because Former Detroit DJ and soon maybe former detroiter Liz Copeland is programing the Pure Detroit stage all day on the luckiest day of the year 7/7/07[July 7th, 2007]

and not only that one of my fave band Yo La Tango will played on the main stage [and one more thing, Yo La Tango is not a Emo Band]

also playing Dooley Wilson, The Expatriates, Siddharta, The GO, Freer, and The High Strung will all be playing and don't forget after Cityfest closed Liz is doing the post show at the Northern Lights Lounge.
