Post Phish Phun-Wednesday 11.18

Hey Now Pholks

A phew short days from now, our beloved Phish will be hitting the famous or infamous, depending on your perspective, Cobo Hall. Some of our local phriends plan to keep the party going after the show.

SO, I would be remiss if I did not tell you of some of the phun.

DEAD AGAIN, will set up shop at Harry's in Detroit. www.harrysdetroit.com 2482 Clifford St
Detroit, MI 48201 I gotta say that I really dig this group and I think they do a marvy job of interpreting the Grateful Dead. Many people went and caught their Halloween show at the Magic Bag and told me it was just grand. You may know some of the Band members as several did a stint in Rubber Soul.

THE MACPODZ Ann Arbor's beloved Jazz Funk ensemble will be kicking it at the Hard Rock Cafe at Campus Marcus in Downtown Detroit. Nick, Ross, Brendan, Jesse and Griffin are seriously some of the most talented musicians I have laid eyes on. They will surely keep you dancing. So, you better be prepared to come in late the next day, Check them out at www.macpodz.com

DJ Frank Raines Innerphonic at Reliv-Formerly Asylum. This might be an opportunity to show all the lot ragers, why the D is the home of the Electronic Music Festival Yeah, I know its called Movement. Whatever . . . .

Catfish Mafia will be at Pat O'Brien's in St Claire Shores. These guys are quite the bluegrass outfit. I have seen them over the years and can tell you there will be some stompin'

So, there is an off day for Phish, the next day. Let's show the out of towners, that MOTOWN is the place to get your groove on. Spread the word on these local shows. Something tells me some of these pholks will be milling around before the epic show.

Enjoy
