Headed up by Detour faves like Maps & Atlases, Anathallo, Child Bite, Deastro, and Great Lakes Myth Society, Midwest Fest 2008 starts tonight! Think of it as a little like Rock City, except in Mount Pleasant, Michigan and at one solitary place (Rubble's Bar, where Black Flag and R.E.M. both played; no, not together). It's still really close to a casino, though. But we're willing to bet you're going for all the sweet bands, right? Right. Peep the full line-up and schedule here . Oh, and while you're up there, stay far away from the [...]
Sadly, The Wheel's Still In Spin will not be going to SXSW this year. But we can still dream. Here is a list of the bands that we would most like to see at SXSW for Wed, March 12, 2008 .

Mining 2008.sxsw.com Part 10, The Penultimate Edition I've been saving this one. It's Child Bite ! Here is a heavily edited bio: "Detroit... Child Bite.... strange amalgam of... hectic drumming... fuzzed-out bass... fragmented guitar lines... vocal warble. [S]ophisticated noise-pop has... time changes and feedback layering." Sounds like postpunk to me. Alright. Downloadable: "Ape Along" (mp3) Myspace page is here . Suburban Sprawl is here . Joyful Noise Recordings is here . Emusic page is here . BONUS mp3s: [...]

The Detroit based Child Bite's blend of sophisticated noise-pop has enough time changes and feedback layering to please hipsters and experimental rock enthusiasts alike, recalling bands like Brainiac, early Deerhoof, and Pere Ubu. Child Bite was formed in late 2005 with an experimental writing style in mind; to document a handful of improvised sessions and later edit them down to concise arrangements for the band to learn. The outcome of this process was their debut album Wild Feast, which was released in October of 2006 on Suburban Sprawl. To follow up, Child Bite recorded [...]
Enjoying the Times When I Spin My Wheels so long as the Music is Good: Sometimes I put material up there because it's timely. Other times, I just want to play songs because it's good to have fun and nice to clear the plate. This is certainly the later of the two. It's late/early this morning and I am listening to Michigan's Child Bite while I prepare some work for the page later this week. I wrote about this band last in August when they spun their wheels through town - [...]
Friday night at The Parish Hall, The Aquarium (Dischord Records) headline the bill with the Latvian band (yes Latvian) Macjitas on Acid and Cleveland's Mystery of Two. Some notes of interest, The Aquarium's drummer, Laura Harris also plays with Benjy Ferree, Mystery of Two's debut is due soon on Exit Stencil and they've started to get some positive reviews , and Macjitas on Acid are f*ckin' weird. Seriously weird ...Also going on Friday night, Columbus' Tough and Lovely are hosting a cd release party with The [...]
Once again, I've been bombarded with emails from various promo people working with bands all over the place. So, I'll share some of the stuff that might be of interest. By the way, Greg Hester was amazing last night. He did a little cover of "Elenor Rigby," which he told me afterwards was for me!! Yay! That's probably one of my most favorite Beatles songs because of the pronounced implementation of the strings. Greg has a cellist on stage with him, and man, it was so bad ass. He'll be [...]
Snow Patrol won four awards at Ireland's Meteor Music Awards last night. The lads won Best Live Performance, Best Irish Album, Most Downloaded Irish song, and Best Irish Band - beating off competition from The Divine Comedy, Humanzi and The Frames. Justin Timberlake was named "Best International Male" and Lily Allen was named "Best International Female". Scissor Sisters scooped the award for "
I get emails all the time with new artists, band requests, promo material and I write about some. I appreciate everything I get sent, make mix tapes/podcasts wth some tracks, and then sometimes, when something is really good, I give a post here. Child Bite is deserving of such a post as I'm in a non-stop repeat mode on the three tracks I've been given. It is said that "within caos there is order", and in turn, within Child Bite there is greatness. [...]

Dudeism...your answer for everything? What is Dudeism? According to the website and The Book of the Dude , "While Dudeism in its official form has been organized as a religion only recently, it has existed down through the ages in one form or another. Probably the earliest form of Dudeism was the original form of Chinese Taoism, before it went all weird with magic tricks and body fluids. The originator of Taoism, Lao Tzu, basically said "smoke 'em if you [...]
