The Dirtbombs (Detroit, In the Red)

Kelley Stoltz (Sub Pop)

The Coke Dares

Shake

The Dirtbombs are everything you could possibly want in a rock and roll band. Fuzzed out, dirty-as-f--- garage rock? Check. Lead singer who is equal parts northern soul hero and wearied rock god? Check. The ability to throw barbs at the powers that be one moment and pay proper justice to the soul forefathers that put Detroit on the map? Check. To make a long story short, they are the band that all other bands should be judged against.

Kelley Stoltz is pop rock dynamo from the city by the bay creating the sort of lush pop that vaulted the Beach Boys to fame, fortune and bouts of insanity. Think of him as a well-shaved version of Richard Swift.

The Coke Dares are short on length and long on musical fury. Believing that less is more, The Coke Dares pack a punch into songs that rarely cross the two minute mark creating an epileptic fit of whiskey fueled rock and roll.

Shake is the dual threat of Stompin' Shannon and Dirty Mike, united by love and a desire to kick out the jams MC5 style. This pair of garage rock monsters are moving on to the greener pastures of Boston, but they are saying goodbye to Bloomington by destroying the stage one last time.
