Welcome to a special edition, of the show, this one is dedicated to all of the artists that our a part of, Halfway's Rock N' Roll Extravaganza !! It's been some time since I've booked, but this is something I really wanted to do. Much like the podcast (cheap plug: Hamill's Halfway House), to give great and deserving musicians, the opportunity to perform, in what I hope to be, is a huge and receptive audience. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of the great artists, whom will be a ...

I thought long and hard before I recorded this. But, then I thought, why shouldn't I? I haven't cared this much about a band since, Green Day in '94. And, it's not only the band I care about, it's the people behind the instruments. They've become like family to me, and in some cases their families have become like family to me. You're not only going to hear Dolls' songs on this show, you'll hear songs from Alayna, Lauren, Zoe, and Dylan. And to those four, all I have to say is this, I love each ...

It's been a wile, but I'm back!! This show is dedicated to some of my close friend's bands, as well as bands that now happen to be defunct. My reasoning behind playing bands that no longer exist is this: these happen to be some great songs and I would hate to see them lost to the hands of time. But, as always I do digress, this show features an unreleased Detroit Perfect song with DP's own, my boy, Chzck Bean (who you can also thank, for digging up some of the older stuff), JAKDD, Lazerface, The...

I was fortunate enough to attend shows on both Friday and Sunday of this past week. Truth is I hadn't had such a great weekend, since God knows when. As I keep repeating, "amazing night, with amazing company". In this ep you'll hear quite a few of those bands, that I enjoyed so much. From Friday at the Token Lounge, The Porcelain Doll Collection (actually they were a Sunday band as well, so you get two Dolls' songs), Steal Your Medicine, and Manic Attack. From Sunday, first from the Detroit Pub,...

Bill's mouth is very dirty in this ep, guaranteed to offend someone. That being said, this is one of his better shows. A lot of stories to go along with the songs from the bands Bill is friendly with, such as JAKDD, Lazerface, and his own band, Detroit Perfect. Also including songs from Stroller Coaster, Nuke and the Hellriders (thanks to Chelsea Maxine), Hooks N' Krooks (thanks to Chelsea Maxine, once again), and Rawdogs (thanks to Shonny Constant, even though he has no idea), and it wouldn't b...

This ep is very special to me, in that I got to interview a hero of mine, the Trash Brat's Ricky Rat. Ricky was nothing but cool. We play a Ricky solo song and of course a song by the almighty Brats. On the punk side of things we have CBJ, Matt Wixon's Flying Circus, Stroller Coaster, and the Porcelain Doll Collection (who hopefully with our help, will be playing the stages of the Warped Tour)! Reppin' that hip hop "D" are King Ludy (featuring from Doughboyz Cashout, HBK) and the ForceField!

Since my last Hip Hop show did so well, I thought I'd start this ep with some of the usual suspects, King Ludy (be on the lookout for his new mix tape, Call it a Night, droppin' March 12), Robert Illo, Gda Starr, and up and comer, Chelsea Hensen. The other half of the show showcases some great artists from outside of the state, including out of Columbus, OH, Mic Skillz, from Raleigh, North Carolina, my boy J.Leon, and from the city of Angels, L.A., CA, by way of Music City USA Nashville TN, Thab...

I had the honor and privilege to attend a listener party for King Ludy's new mix tape, so it gave me the idea to do a show dedicated to some of the best hip hop Detroit has to offer. Besides the aforementioned King Ludy, we have Drez Mcflan, who was brought to my attention by one DJ G-Raw, Sheefy McFly, Genghis Ganj, Frostmatic, and Robert Illo and Gda Starr. Big ups to Bizarre and make sure to visit http://DetroitRap.com for all they do for the Detroit hip hop community.
