macpodz "Ann Arbor's jazz rock outfit, The Macpodz, throw some of the coolest parties around. With a little bit of everything in its musical grab bag, The Macpodz easily please music lovers, from fans of far out jazz to those rootsy jam band-style grooves. The inventor and namesake of its own brand of funky dance music, coined 'disco-bebop,' The Macpodz pay homage to kinky musical concoctions like the groovy, unstructured big band instrumental works of the late, great Frank Zappa with psychadelic tinges of sunglasses-and-afro era Miles Davis. With two solid albums under its belt and a slew of foot-shuffling fans across the region, The Macpodz impress as only an open-minded band can, taking the core of genuine American music and tossing in tasteful touches of world music grooves and lots and lots of swinging horn licks that rouse and comfort all at once." -RAB, Toledo City Paper

The Macpodz released their debut album, Genius Food for Super Heroes, on January 2, 2007 and Orcastrate, on March 1, 2008.

The band is currently on tour in support of their newest release, with many club dates scheduled throughout the Midwest and Northeast including festivals such as Summer Camp, Nelson Ledges, Hookahville, Wakarusa Music Festival, Dunegrass, Shamy Bash, Hoxeyville and moe.down

The Worms From L-R, Daniel Ledford, Russell Mefford, Rob Malone, David MacKay, Clint Bailey

From L-R, Daniel Ledford, Russell Mefford, Rob Malone, David MacKay, Clint Bailey In the mid-1990s, The Fiddleworms emerged as the most important rock band working out of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Taking their name from night crawler catfish bait and traveling to gigs in an orange stretch limo they developed a large following across many spectrum's of the music industry.

Rising from the ashes, The Fiddleworms of today go far beyond the fat chops, meaty grooves and original rock that have become the central theme of their legendary live shows. Their songs feature images of southern character and charm with personal stories that transcend life's struggles. Performed by five seasoned musicians The Fiddleworms are made up of guitarist/vocalist and founder Russell Mefford, guitarist/vocalist and former Drive By Truckers member Rob Malone, former Michael Nesmith bassist David MacKay, drummer Daniel Ledford and keyboardist Clint Bailey; all members have deep roots in the music and recording culture, including southern rock, jam band, and classic rock music scenes.
