Mazinga is an Ann Arbor quartet that plays "a super-powered amalgamation of (original) surf, rockabilly, and roots punk, with more than a nod to traditional Ann Arbor-based groups such as The Stooges and MC5". They carry on this (Igg-)noble tradition.
Velvet Jones is a "super-funky, louder-than-snot, who's yer daddy" band that plays original music from Detroit.
#6 and The Prisoners , of Ypsilanti, play (original) gothic, apocalyptic funk/metal.
Also be on hand for surprise appearances by very special guests.
Seven Days For Tibet is an international celebration of Tibetan culture and education about the serious and heartbreaking situation inside Tibet today. It is meant to coincide with the release of the movie "Seven Years in Tibet" starring Brad Pitt, which will open in Ann Arbor this weekend.
Our plan is to distribute ICT's action packs, which are absolutely beautiful and very informative, at the theatres to people who have just seen the movie. As we have heard that the film is very moving, people will want to know more and what can they do.
Our plan is to help them know more, and show them some things they can do.
We hope you can join us.
