CITYFEST AFTER PARTY!

Canja Rave (BRAZIL)

"Imagine yourself recovering from the worst kind o hangover, and still you plan about going to a party the other day. At that time you don´t feel like doing anything just sit back, sleep, recover from all that beating, but sudden opportunities of new fun and entertainment makes your brain tell your body that you can do it! You will go out again and have some
fun, leaving all troubles behind. These sudden changes of attitude and feelings common in bipolars originated the name CANJA RAVE, which means chicken soup rave, as in a mood change of going from chicken soup to a rave party. Canja Rave also is
also getting the opposites together, like men and women, the formation of the duet or you may call it band with Paula Nozzari and Chris Kochenborger. The duet consists of Paula drumming and singing, while Chris sings and play guitar. They both compose all of their songs and lyrics. Songs that were done simply to exercise the composing style of a possible
new project, or even song writing for ther artists, however, due to the coincidences and desteny the couple became a band, because of an uncompromised rehearsal to test the music they had written. Since Chris was a bass player all his life playing jazz, and rock bands, he made his guitar sound more bass like. Paula had to adapt to the singing part too
focusing on both playing the drums and her voice.
The result of the Canja Rave, a band that came from chicken soup to a rave, is that we get to travel a lot, meet people, and get everyone rocked!"

"music for the morning after a nuclear winter
and the darkness stirs"

The Directions (formerly Siddhartha)

"the band formerly known as Siddhartha bring Northern Soul back to Detroit where it started"

DUENDE!

"You're in for a wild Western psychedelic sonic ride thru the streets of Detroit when Duende takes the stage. This Motor City five have been taking their show on the road and introducing others to their brand of dark Americana rock"

Woman(Knoxville Tennessee)

"A relatively new quartet fronted by Chris Lowe (with drummer Jason Stark, guitarist Tyler Mucklow and bassist Damion Huntoon)stole the night. As soon as they opened with "Flood Plain," a primal chant that feels more like a consummate rain dance than a rock song, we were enthralled, powered by strange juju. Lowe, shaking a pair of maracas, looked like a shaman,
summoning us into collective mind trip, inviting us to leave our bodies, and just move into something a little more sweaty and beer-heavy. Gravity lost its grip. Sounds jacked directly onto the cerebral cortex, shrouding reality in a thick purple veil. We were dancing, even if we didn't realize it."-Metropulse Review

the Pizazz

"Bizarre, sorta spazzy organ led pop, punk weirdness. Really refreshing and interesting and great. It's like New Wave, but not in a retro-chic, sideshow sorta way. I'll buy a drink for anybody who can help tell me what exactly they sound like. Is it the future? I hope so." - Rich Hanson

Fontana

The band's sound is something that is completely lacking from most modern music. It's a hodge podge of several prehistoric artifacts such as The Stooges, surf music and Sun Ra that is sonically challenging without being completely spastic. "It's not like we have some set formula we operate by," Paul states. "After playing songs hundreds of times, what may sound totally improvised or whatnot is just natural."

Something else that is natural is the band's exciting stage show. Paul flops around like a chicken with his head chopped off while Colin destroys his drumset and Geoff is left to smile and watch the mayhem unfold. It's certainly not boring, folks. "I'm sure I feel some 'connection to the music' or I'm letting out some inner frustration about things and all that
kind of crap," Paul says, "but I really find a thrill in acting so absurdly and having people shake my hand for doing so." - RDW

Millions of Brazilians

"Millions of Brazillians have a hard, booming sound, a rough, pushy rock and pop vibe pulling as much inspiration from Stevie Wonder as it does Fugazi. The trio, Nick and brothers Zoz and Derek, prove that power trios can exist without a bass player – and that it adds to versatility; says Zoz, "We found that working out the problems of not having [a bass player]
made for a more interesting writing process," adding that other influences include Martin Gaye for Nick, Jonny Greenwood for Derek and Interpol for Zoz. Piston-pumping-percussions, a low buzzing, wide swaying guitar hooks like unforgiving rapids under a cutting-toned lead that shrieks and wails into beautifully caustic solos.

Manna and Quail

"{Black screen- and slowly red light on the horizon. The Detroit River is burning. Sparks and embers reel and fly from the blaze and scatter out of the urban inferno. One by one they plummet into the soft dark surrounding the city. Green green blue the ashes are reflections from tv screens, lcd
displays, unblinking eyes, streetlights. In a small corner the diffused light rejoins. Enter Steve Saputo- all five o'clock shadow and bottle green eyes Enter an idea a polychromatic landscape of emotion, strange chords and sublime melodies Enter Matt Walsh Enter Gjon Gegaj coral eyelids and lashes- bass building a foundation for castles in the sky Awash in the embryonic pulse of the hearbeat emerges Adam Davis essential,
innocent Together these streams of molten consciousness begin flowing back, back to the ruined volcano of a fallen metropolis. A blazing stream of sound winding towards the source of motion. The past and future of Detroit. Manna and Quail together. Just over a year ago from the imagination of Steve Saputo a musical aesthetic emerged blending ethereal
harmonies with a gritty pop rhthym. He formed Manna and Quail with a handful of talented musicians playing around Detroit. Each one of the band members brings a unique musical perspective that complements and completes Saputo's distinct sound."

Friendly Foes

"Friendly Foes first took form as a solo project of Thunderbirds Are Now! frontman-guitarist Ryan Allen. The outfit shares TAN!'s nervous energy (and, naturally, Ryan's itchy adenoidal man-child vocals), but the band tips its hat to latter '90s indie-rock instead of TAN!'s Brooklyn-damaged
dance-rawk. Sez Ryan: "Our jams are constructed using the simplest of methods — a few chords, some lyrics about people we hate, some crashing, some banging, some thudding and some rumbling. This band is basically a replication of my 7-inch collection from 1996, and I'm proud of that."
