IR: Detroit #28 – Interview with Mikal
June 23, 2009
IR: Motor city is back again for another interview episode – this episode is an interview with Mikal, a great up and coming indie artist from South East Michigan! This was a fun interview, it was a pleasure to talk with Mikal. He is also playing live in Redford Michigan at Bullfrog on June 28th, 2009 (sponsored by The Olin Ezra Show, another great Detroit podcast!) – which I will also be attending!
Mikal has received 24 Detroit Music Award nominations, including 16 in one year, which has only been accomplished by one other artist.
Mikal’s pre-debut release, the acoustic EP “Only Enemies Tell The Truth… Friends And Enemies Lie Endlessly” is now available on iTunes for only $1.99.
This interview was first broadcast on my live internet radio show on BounceRadio.net – Mondays from 7pm-10pm ET and Tuesdays 6pm-8pm ET – Tune in to catch other new interviews before they’re on the podcast!

Flashy
This is another interview episode – but trust me, it’s a great interview! I had the chance to speak with Dick Valentine, the lead singer and writer for the Detroit band, Electric Six! We discussed the history of the band, US and Detroit Politics, the new CD (which is released on Oct 21st) “Flashy” (click to go to Metropolis Records), and Internet scrabble playing! Electric Six starts their tour this week in Lansing, MI – and hits as many cities as possible all over the US before ending up back in Detroit on November 29th! If you can, go see Electric Six!

IR: Detroit #20 – The Shram Band!
September 28, 2008
This episode features an incredible interview and music from The Shram Band! I had the chance to interview Brian Schram (Lead vocals and Guitar) and Jason Heartless (Drums) in Ann Arbor earlier this year when they were opening up for The Dreaming.
This band has a “rock your face off” sound that is tight! Check out the interview, and if you see them coming to your town – go see them live!!
IR:Detroit Is back! Episode #19
August 5, 2008
After a long absence, Insomnia Radio Detroit is back and better than ever! Will be putting out episodes more regularly, and with more stuff than ever before!
To bring it all back, I’m giving you an incredible interview that I did with a local band, Broken Day Machine. I got a chance to listen to one of their practices a couple months ago, and sat down and talked to them about where they’ve been and where they’re going – this band has huge potential! This is a long interview, but well worth listening to – One of the songs included is a rendition that Will (the lead singer) did before the interview that same day – very good song!
Broken Day Machine will be having their CD Release Party on August 9th @ Simon’s in Allen Park, MI – I plan on being there, let me know if you will be joining me!
Also, don’t forget to check out Detroit Indie Music Project – big things happening over there!!

If you’re in the area, it’s a great show to check out!
Finishing out the show I have a great tune from The Go, Regulators, and a great band from Toledo – ReDiscovered!
