Hoxeyville Music Festival 2010
August 20th, 21st, and 22nd
By Greg Molitor

Hoxeyville has been on my radar for each of the two years previous, but for some reason or another, I haven’t been able to attend. Not this year! Third time is a charm, indeed!

Words cannot describe my excitement for Hoxeyville 2010... but words are my job... so I’ll give it a shot!

First, what a lineup! Hoxeyville 2010 pulled the deepest and most diverse lineup of any Michigan music festival of the year, hands down. All of Michigan’s heavy-hitters will be playing including Greensky Bluegrass, The Macpodz, My Dear Disco, Steppin’ In It, Ultraviolet Hippopotamus, The Ragbirds…want me to keep going?!? If you add the intimate performances by national artists including The Rhythm Devils, Keller Williams, KDTU, Steve Kimock & Crazy Engine, The New Deal, and Great American Taxi…the lineup speaks for itself. This is the place to be August 20th, 21st and 22nd. Don’t miss out on Michigan’s best opportunity to rage in 2010!

Hoxeyville 2010 has plenty offer in addition to the fabulous lineup of musicians scheduled to play. Contained within the serene Manistee National Forest, The 85+ acre Hoxeyville festival ground is located conveniently near various mountain biking trails, the scenic Pine River, and Kestelwoods restaurant and party store, all just a few minutes’ walk from the grounds. As for vending, Hoxeyville’s Vendor Village will focus on local crafts, foods, and artisan to help promote the Michigan community. And as always, Hoxeyville will feature a Disc Golf Course designed by Stephanai Myers of Disc Golf Michigan! Hoxeyville 2010 is truly a unique event created through the love of music and community. Join me for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

    Huh? He is mentioned in the artist line-up... This is a preview, we can't talk about all of the artists in depth in a piece like this. However, rest assured Todd will be covered in the review of the festival.

Livetronica Sampler 3.22.11

Words by Greg Molitor ( ReMIND Photography ) Ozric Tentacles This British group has proven innovative throughout the years offering a space-rock meets psytrance sound that remains alive to this day. Though never having a major record label, Ozric Tentacles has produced 28 albums of diverse psychedelia throughout its career. The band met at the Stonehenge Free Festival in 1983 and truly fathered livetronica music with its use of sequencers and synthesizers. Simply put, there would be no livetronica without Ozric Tentacles. www.ozrics.com Octopus Nebula Colorado’s Octopus Nebula has certainly hit its stride as of late with its constant touring and increased festival interest. The group expands on the deep sounds of highly regarded acts such as STS9 and Shpongle but also carves a path of its own with its fresh takes on synthesizer tones and sampling in the live setting. Octopus Nebula Live at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom on March 26, 2010. <--- Direct Archive Link www.octopus

Buckethead: Gimmick or Guitar God?

Words & Photos By Nicholas Stock ( phatphlogblog.blogspot.com ) At what point does the gimmick overshadow the performance? The obvious answer is Buckethead. The man is an amazing guitarist but something is not right in this world. The idea a performer who dons a KFC chicken bucket on his head for a concert has always intrigued me, and some of his side projects such as Colonel Claypool’s Bernie Bucket of Brains have been huge successes. However his performance last weekend in Fort Collins simply left me perplexed. From his robotic dancing, to his nunchuck display, to the fact the he performed with an iPod rather than a band all added to my confusion. Going into the show I was ready to be blown away, despite rumblings of disgruntled fans from the previous night’s show at The Gothic. Buckethead had had some sound issues and some missed cues in Denver but I was still trying to be positive for the show in Fort Collins. It did go off without a hitch technically but that was the least

Billy Strings 4.18.19

Salvage Station Asheville, NC Words by Jason Mebane Photos by J. Scott Shrader Photography When asked to write a review of last week's Billy Strings show at Asheville, North Carolina's Salvage Station I almost passed on it. I just wrote a review of his last Asheville show a few months ago and I thought it may be hard to come up with another set of words to describe to the readers exactly what a Billy Strings show is all about. I am sure there are a plethora of other reviews that other people have written focusing on how well he has mastered his instrument. I suppose I could recycle those thoughts and just sit here typing out a few adjectives describing each note Billy and his superb backing band played this past Thursday night, but that wouldn't be fun for me. Additionally I'd imagine a review like that wouldn't keep your attention either. Instead I have decided to focus on a few random parts of the Billy Strings show that seemed interesting to me. One: B
