-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the lineup:

Aparition (Ypsilanti, MI) [http://aparition.bandcamp.com/]

Aparition's sinuous, crepuscular music exists in the shadows cast by classic IDM and electronica.
With album releases on Aural Sects and Raveyard, Aparition navigates between spectral, hallucinatory synth-pop and shoegaze, and brutal, bone-shredding industrial beats and noise.

----------------------------------------

Bubblegum Octopus (Verona, NJ) [http://soundcloud.com/bubblegum-octopus]

Bubblegum Octopus is a frantic, progressive hybrid of bouncy, cutesy pico-pico and synth-pop, grinding and noisey freakouts, 8 and 16-bit video game style electronics, touches of dance music and IDM/breakcore style percussion mutilation.

----------------------------------------

Crochetcatpause (Detroit, MI) [https://www.facebook.com/crochetcatpause]

Crochetcatpause is an electro janky junk punk act from metropolitan Detroit, MI.
Some people don’t like to get to close to them when they perform because their swagger is a little unconventional, but those who do usually have a good time.

----------------------------------------

Dental Work (Traverse City, MI) [http://dentalworknoise.blogspot.com/]

Dental Work is an avant-garde sound & performance art manipulation project by Jay Watson, based out of Traverse City, MI with roots in Detroit, Chicago, Denver and Oakland, CA.
The music is a rare blend of musique concrete, extreme psychedelia, anxiety, experimental, harsh noise, tape manipulations, glitch, grindcore, turntable-ism, sound collage, found sounds, avant-garde and outsider trash art.

----------------------------------------

Detroit Party Marching Band (Detroit, MI) [https://www.facebook.com/DetroitPartyMarchingBand]

The Detroit Party Marching Band is an ever-evolving collective of Detroit area musicians devoted to unanticipated revelry, driving jams and the power of the un-amplified horn blast.
They believe the essence of music is celebration and joy.
They’re devoted to deploying impromptu jams to celebrate life and community in & around our dear city of Detroit.

----------------------------------------

Kkrusty (Chicago, IL) [http://soundcloud.com/kkrusty]

Kkrusty (Mike Taylor) began making electronic music in 2004.
After experimenting with many styles, he discovered chiptune (music made using or emulating the sounds of outdated video game and computing hardware) and began composing songs on the Nintendo GameBoy in early 2008.
His music mixes sometimes sweet, sometimes epic melodies, pounding, danceable rhythms, (not to mention the occasional 80's hair-metal cover) and never fails to turn any room into a frothing mess of nuclear gleeful madness!

----------------------------------------

Laserbeams of Boredom (Ypsilanti, MI) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEeA1mTDDM]

Craig Johnson's mind-blowing drumz/bass/voices-from-outer-space trip.

----------------------------------------

Minus9 (Ypsilanti, MI) [http://minus9.bandcamp.com/]

Drum and Bass Hardcore/grindcore/thrashmetal/crossover and back again.

Turbo prog with pop sensibilities.

----------------------------------------

Selector Catalogue (Ann Arbor, MI) [http://selectorcatalogue.com/]

and developing the future of his label (Reject Records), playing shows and organizing them.

----------------------------------------

Super Thing (Ypsilanti, MI) [http://youtu.be/zSJyBCMLgik]

Cosmic Midwestern Krautrock fog worshipers.

----------------------------------------

The One Electronic (Detroit, MI) [http://theoneelectronic.bandcamp.com/]

Mike Vallejo has a long history of music-making that also might not be taken seriously.
His latest project, The One Electronic, despite being cheifly classified as Chiptunes, has been polished to a very nice gleam of electronic music that anyone can enjoy.
Combining the awesome powers of acid and 8-bit synths, Mike has created a musical journey about a robot who falls in love with color.

----------------------------------------

Watabou (Ann Arbor, MI) [http://soundcloud.com/watabou]

Watabou is the solo electronic project from the mind of multi-instrumentalist Travis Jarosz.
With his blend of intelligence and raw power, Watabou aims to evoke the emotions of any audience to the utmost, be it through intensive melodies, driving rhythms, powerful words or any other number of qualities attributed to the act.

Dental Work has been compared to a discomforting kitty litter infested heated noise garbage dump with a continuous shamanistic television playing vomit inducing pseudo-religious sadomasochistic rape scenes; A sonic chastity blast vision flask is administered just before you are served a massive hallucinogenic rat dumpling to aid in mental re-construction during post traumatic stress orgasms. You must navigate the canals of your swollen grey brain matter in preparation for Dental Work's mechanical pigeon dildo seance. High pressure delayed Ouija board manipulations merged with lo-fi serial murder fetish freak outs , ritualistic AM radio telepathy, unhealthy turntable modification and an array of urethra knives conveniently located within the anal salsa of humanity. Coming to a deteriorating urban wasteland near you, during the "Young Latina Lost In Mexican Transylvania Tour".

The Bayside Bombshells Burlesque Troupe will be performing at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, MI Sept. 21st and 22nd, 2013!

The Bayside Bombshells will be returning to ArtPrize this year with a show unlike any other! Fear and Loathing at ArtPrize: A Savage Musical Journey to the Heart of the Burlesque Dream :) This performance will be held at Dr. Grins Comedy Club (located inside the B.O.B.) in Grand Rapids, MI on September 21st @ 3:00pm and September 22nd @ 8:00pm :)



Fear and Loathing at ArtPrize portrays the misadventures of Hunter S. Thompson (counter culture icon, Gonzo journalist, and well rounded trouble maker.), putting the good Doctor of journalism on an assignment unlike any other. He finds himself plunging head first on a savage journey through Grand Rapids' ArtPrize competition to find the Bayside Bombshells . In true Gonzo fashion the Bombshells eliminate the lines between fact and truth, life and art, reality and drug induced perception.

"The Bayside Bombshells, the answer to Northern Michigan's prayers for naughty, bawdy entertainment. With some sultry striptease, comedic hijinks, and the dramatic depth of a Liza Minnelli-esque drag queen deliver a night of entertainment that will send you smiling all the way to confession. Come for a celebration of classy vulgarity. Not for the weak of heart! ... unless you set your pacemaker to vibrate. ;)"

PRE-SHOW @ InsideOut Gallery - 229 Garland Street, Traverse City, Michigan 49684 - SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2013 @ 8:00 PM

We would like to invite our friends, family, fans, and all our wonderful supporters to come out and see a free preview of the show before we take it to ArtPrize.
