Yellowcard @ St. Andrew’s Hall 10/23/11 (Photos and Review)

Of course the most obvious thing that sticks out about Yellowcard is that they have a violinist in the midst of a punk pop/rock alternative band. Sean is a joy to watch because he seems to be having such a great time playing. The song “For You, And Your Denial” especially showcased Sean’s skills and was my favorite…

David Ryan Strauchman – Vocals, Piano Joshua Withenshaw – Guitar, Backup Vocals Jimmie Deeghan- Guitar, Backup Vocals Matt Black – Bass, Backup Vocals Dennis Wilson – Drums Hometown-Marysville, MI! Michigan band Every Avenue is a musically strong group that produces contagious songs. Sunday night in Detroit the band meshed well together and performed with a zest that is customary of their live shows. Frontman Dave delivered his lyrics in a believable way because he sang with emotion and a relevant degree of earnestness. Their homecoming was well worth the wait. Every Avenue is another example of the the large pool of musicians that Michigan is proud to call their own. SETLIST…

Anika @ the Cave in the Russell Industrial Center 10/9/11 (Interview, Review, and Photos)
PART ONE: THE INTERVIEW Anika had worked as a political journalist and as a music promoter before crossing paths with Portishead producer, Geoff Barrow. A friend told Anika that some guys were looking for “a weird singer” and unbeknownst to Anika, she would soon be a professional touring singer with a new album produced by Geoff Barrow and backed by the band Beak. Her sound is an ingenious mix of punk, funk, pop, dub, and electronica. In preparation for the Detroit show, Noize got the chance to ask Anika a few questions.
