Hump Nights in August
Previews
Fully Celebrated Orchestra with The Ukuladies and Pocket Vinyl
Wednesday, August 9, 2023 at Midway Cafe
It’s the second Wednesday of the month at Midway Cafe. That mean’s it’s Fully Celebrated Orchestra time! The avant jazz rockers have an art-damaged soul that loves to push musical boundaries. And they’re always joined by a revolving cast of friends and fellow musicians that make the carousel turn.
Electric Street Queens | Loretta | Dyr Faser | Humanoids
Saturday, August 12, 2023 at Midway Cafe
The always assonant Dyr Faser anchor a night that starts with street queens and ends with humanoids. Sounds like a match made in heaven. If this were the Bachelor, we’d be asking in the Humanoids were here for the right reasons… Spoiler: they’re not!
Former Critics // Riot Course // Twelveyes // Bikethrasher
Monday, August 14, 2023 at Silhouette Lounge
Emo, punk, grunge… It’s a rock n roll buffet with locals Bikethrasher and Twelveyes welcoming Michigan’s Former Critics and Riot Course.
The McGunks Turn 20! w/ The McGunks // COB // Jason Bennett and the Resistance
Friday, August 18, 2023 at Midway Cafe
How many bands make it to Twen, never mind Twenty? What? I don’t know how to count? Sure, I do: Wen, Twen, Thwen, Quen, Quin, Swen, Sweven, Eighn, Nwehn, Twhen, Elwhen, Twelhen…. I could go on but it would just make you look more stupid. Celebrate 20 with The McGunks and Friends!
Winkler // Dino Gala // Sweet Petunia
Monday, August 21, 2023 at the Silhouette Lounge
Sometimes you can’t announce bands on bills. There are reasons for it, but it will never not be weird. And sometimes the policy, such as it is, gets unevenly applied to the detriment of certain artists and not others… Anyway, Mondays at the Sil won’t let you down.
Couch Sex // Alenka // Over Ends // Keep Ons
Monday, August 28, 2023 at Silhouette Lounge
Hump Day News has never covered any of the bands on this bill. A punk sampler. We’re jumping in with both feet and you should too.
Fully Celebrated Orchestra declines a definite article at Midway Cafe.
