"A group that puts some electricity in their unique mix of afrobeat, jazz and blues"
-Linda Yohn 89.1 WEMU
"Blending Afro-Caribbean rhythms and a swinging horn section with original punky ska rock, Hullabaloo really live up to their name, creating an outrageous uproar everywhere they go. With an almost Mothers-like appraoch, the band variously contains anywhere from six to eleven members. Either way, stripped down or stacked up, Hullabaloo is an upbeat, dance crazy, chaotic joy ride that is both catchy and weirdly experimental. Based out of Ann Arbor, Hullabaloo is well known and well respected and rightfully so."
-Ryan A. Bunch - Toledo City Paper
"The band wows crowds with its concerts and mostly original songs. Self-described as "semi-chaotic," the band lives up to its billing."
-The Farmington Observer
"Ann Arbor’s Hullabaloo on the other hand makes a groovy racket that only re-enforces their name, but does so with a metered, horn-driven swing touching on ska, punk and blues with some just nice slices of Dixieland swirled up in there somewhere."
The Dirty Show is perhaps the highest profile erotic art exhibition in the world. The Tenth edition of the Dirty Show takes place in Detroit in February of 2009. It has always featured world renowned artists as well as rising stars and new discoveries. Bruce Lehto and Jack Kenny are two artists new to the Dirty Show this year. They are both affiliated with the Ann Arbor based 4th Avenue Movement, a loosely organized group of artists and musicians who gather every Friday night to enjoy art and music and talking like big shots.
...and don't miss The Dirty Show, Feb, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 2009
Tell Governor Granholm to Stop Michigan's "Coal Rush"
Please take action now to urge Governor Granholm to issue an executive order that halts the construction of new coal plants until stronger protections are put in place against dangerous global warming carbon dioxide pollution – sign the petition to ask Governor Granholm to require the consideration of global warming pollution before air quality permits are approved!
GreenCurrents or Greenwashed?.. .. Has DTE Energy's massive green marketing campaign made you one of the 14,000 customers who have signed up for their "GreenCurrents" program? If so, we're sorry to tell you that the premium you are paying on your monthly electricity bill has bought no new renewable energy - not a single environmentally friendly electron is flowing to your house or business from Detroit Edison's power grid because of GreenCurrents. Worse yet, Detroit Edison (DTE) spent over 85% of its "GreenCurrents" program money on marketing and administration, leaving only 15% to purchase renewable energy certificates (which is not the same as actually buying renewable energy) in its first year... .. Fortunately, the Ecology Center and city of Ann Arbor are proposing a better way for DTE customers who want to truly support and benefit from renewable energy. Our proposed program, which is based on a highly successful program in Texas, requires DTE to directly purchase Michigan-based renewable energy and provide the benefits of price stability and a cleaner electricity system to you - with no corporate spin or spending on greenwashing. Unfortunately, DTE is doing everything in its power to stop its customers from having an option that is green without greenwashing... .. So, please send an email to the Michigan Public Service Commission about your support for the Ecology Center's proposed program and with your concerns about DTE's "GreenCurrents"... .. TAKE ACTION NOW!}
