SUPERIORBELLY WILL BE PERFORMING LIVE AT THE
DETROIT FRINGE FESTIVAL!! ALSO FEATURING ELLIOT
EARLS AND MANY OTHERS. APRIL 14TH , DETROIT , MI

FROM THE DETROIT FREEPRESS:
Nearly 30 hours of nonstop performances, with breakfast thrown in. That’s what Detroit’s Music Hall has planned April 13-15 with the first ever Detroit Fringe Festival.

The marathon event will feature visual artists, dancers, musicians, performance artists, films and entertainments difficult to categorize, like the re-enactment of Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Participants are coming from as far away as Barcelona, Spain; London; Melbourne, Australia; Los Angeles and New York, as well as from nearby locales like Detroit and Ann Arbor.

In more ways than one, “We’re covering a pretty wide area,” says Music Hall president and artistic director Vince Paul. Besides the main theater, performers may show up in stairwells and the mezzanine lobby.

The festival runs from 8 p.m. April 13 to 1:30 a.m. April 15. Tickets: $32. Details: www.detroitfringefestival.com

DAAAAMN RIGHT. THE ONLY PROPER WAY TO START THIS MUSIC BLOG ROLL OFF IS WITH SOME DETROIT BASED HORROR TUNES. FOR WHATEVER REASON MICHIGAN SEEMS TO HAVE A DEEPLY SET INTEREST AND FASCINATION WITH ALL THINGS HORROR AND HALLOWEEN. EVERY MIDWEST TEEN-FACED POT SMOKER WITH A POOR MUSTACHE GREW UP ON ESHAM AND IT SEEMS I’M JUST BEGINNING TO SNUFF THE SURFACE WITH MY LATEST DISCOVERY OF THESE GOOF EYED OLD GUYS DRESSING UP LIKE EVERYDAY IS HALLOWEEN. IF YOU ASK ME, THIS SHIT IS RIGHT ON. HERE IS WHAT I JUST DUG UP:ARTIST = CREEPY CLYDE - “SPOOKY TOWN” (2002)
FROM = MICHIGAN
SOUND = SPOOKY POP SONGS ABOUT MONSTERS AND HAUNTED HOUSESTHIS GUY IS KNOWN AS THE “COUNTRY VAMPIRE” AND I THINK THAT IS COOL AS FUCK. APPARENTLY HE RUNS A BROADCAST WHERE HE SHOWCASES HORROR FLICKS INTERLACED WITH HIS SHTICK. SOMETHING LIKE COUNT SCARY I GUESS, WHOM I VAGUELY REMEMBER MEETING AT SOME FESTIVAL WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID. ANYHOW HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH TRACKS LIKE: “THE CARP THAT ATE DETROIT” AND “THE OLD MAN FROM KALAMAZOO”?. MORE MITTEN  BASED MADNESS TO COME.

ZAK OSTROWSKI’S VIDEO WORK “SHAVE” WILL BE ON DISPLAY AT CAL POLY UNIVERSITY AS PART OF THE DPI (Digitally Propelled Ideas) A national juried exhibition WHICH RUNS:
September 18 thru October 21, 2006
Opening reception Oct 5th 6- 9PM

The purpose behind the exhibit “DPI,” which stands for digitally propelled ideas, is to provide a venue and bring together artists who have been actively involved in using computer technology to create works of art. We understand how digital technology has opened opportunities for research and experimentation in a number of the art and design related disciplines and our goal is to bring together the most eclectic experience possible. The exhibit will include work from the following disciplines: fine art, graphic design, illustration, photography and video.
JUROR: Elliott Earls was recently chosen “the hottest designer in America” by Blueprint magazine He is the head of Cranbrook’s graphic design department and considered a “beloved hero” and “star” in the world of art-school designers. His experimentation with nonlinear digital video, spoken word poetry, music composition and design led him to form The Apollo Program. As a performance artist, Elliott was awarded an “Emerging Artist” grant by Manhattan’s prestigious Wooster Group. He was a featured performer at the Wooster Group’s “Performing Garage” in 1999 and has performed at the Cretiel Theater Festival in France, at The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis Minnesota, at the Oak Street Theater in Portland Maine and at “HERE” in SOHO New York City. Elliott’s posters entitled “The Conversion of Saint Paul,” “Throwing Apples at the Sun,” “The Temptation of Saint Wolfgang,” and “She a Capulet” are part of the permanent collection of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum Smithsonian Institution. Elliott’s latest enhanced CD/poster package was recently added to the Cooper Hewitt’s research file. Elliott’s type designs are distributed world wide by Emigre inc. Elliott’s commercial work includes two recent TV commercials for The Cartoon Network in the United Kingdom as well as an interactive documentary on the work of Frank Gehry for Casabella in Italy.
