Words By J-man Photos By Greg Molitor Friday, September 17th, 2010 When it comes to festivals, there are two ends of the spectrum; the powerhouses who's sole focus are ticket sales and income. Don't get me wrong, these festivals often also care about the music, community and event itself... But the focus is on quantity as opposed to quality. A lot of the vibes get lost in the sea of corporate sponsorship, massive crowd's and bands that seem better placed on a television show as opposed to the festival scene. Then there are are festivals like Wuhnurth, who focus solely on the music, the community and the environment. The vibes from many of these smaller festivals are unachievable by a lot of those previously mentioned "powerhouses". Leading up to Wuhnurth my excitement was high. I had been talking to James Nimmer, the promoter of the festival on and off about different band options, time slots and the new venue. Needless to say I was excited to see it all come to f

Photos By Greg Molitor Words By Justin Picard There are very few bands on the scene that get me as excited as Toubab Krewe. The unique combination of African, folk, blues, rock, and dance provide a fresh sound to the scene. The folks within' my circle had been talking about this show for a while. As the day came, more and more of my friends committed to turn out. Per usual, the Blind Pig's listed door time appeared as a baron wasteland. Not even one lingering wook. I have been seeing Toubab for a couple of years now, and have always enjoyed what they did. Their 2009 Summercamp set blew me away. From that point on, I have sought out their music, both studio and live. Over the course of the past year I have really enjoyed the direction that they have gone. Their songs have morphed into hard, dance-able jams that peak, and peak, and peak. Often times, I find myself just laughing at the utter intensity of it all. Ultimately it's their energy and uniqueness that draws me to them

Words & Photos By Tyler Sporer Impromptu shows are always the best. I had been scheduled to work a night shift on this Thursday evening but ended up being let out early. I struggled very little with the decision to head straight for Ann Arbor. Cornmeal was in town and I wasn’t about to let this one pass by. A quick phone call to my pal Andrew and we were good to go. He’s always down for some quality live music. When we got to the Blind Pig, we were surprised to find it virtually empty. The dimly lit joint had a pretty decent vibe going on with pictures and memorabilia from countless years gone by. Upon discovery that there would be a band playing before Cornmeal, I was somewhat disappointed… each of us had to work in the morning so we were looking to get in as much Cornmeal as we could before we hit our self-imposed curfew. But this was nothing compared to the disappointment we were about to face. Now, keep in mind that writing a “bad” review about a band or artist that I have see

Words By Joe Davidson Photos By Joe Davidson & Amy Castaldo Saturday 8.28.2010 Saturday brought out the diversity of the line-up for the last day of music. Sunny weather greeted me when I woke up which put a huge smile on my face, finally, a break from the constant dampness. A great reggae band call Groundation started the day off. There were a few dub bands that played throughout the weekend and this was by far the best. I couldn’t think of a better way to start the day, the music felt like a vast prayer session for everyone to repent from the mischief of the night before. I must say it was so nice to hear a reggae band that didn’t sing about smoking sensi every other song. After taking some pictures Amy and I sat down to enjoy the rest of the set while Darryl Hance, formally of Mofro, began to sound check. The familiar guitar work of Darryl was quite pleasant but he looked very uncomfortable on stage. In between each song he would mutter a few words in his monotone voice and see
