   About miracles of god
Est. 2003-Miracles of God have put out various CD's, cassettes, and 7" records. Toured extensively performing for crowds between the sizes of 3,000 and 2 (gotta love Detroit). Were once featured on legendary comic book writer Warren Ellis' 4AM radio podcast show. Also toured as backing band for legendary cult lounge singer Harvey Sid Fisher (ASTROLOGY SONGS). On one tour they got hit by a drunk driver, on another they played at the site of the worlds biggest urinal. One time they opened for the Violent Femmes and Sam was asked to sit in on guitar on "Add It Up". At a show in Omaha Brian Ritchie called them local legends. Another time they got an email from Kramer that said simply enough "cool songs", they all thought that was pretty cool. For a spell the had noise folk tape trader Ed Gray playing with them he would play the tambourine on his head, this went on until he quit. The tales are on the tape. Miracles opened for Simon Joyner at his record release party for Skeleton Blues. On stage Simon declared Miracles to be the, "best live punk band playing today". When Miracles opened for Milwaukee folk shock legends The Frogs they asked Sam to sit in on bass. They didn't play half of the songs they asked him to learn and would yell out the wrong keys. They introduced him as a "young homosexual individual". Miracles once played in the basement of the Sheridan in Detroit were Jimmy Hoffa was last seen, the floor was still all messed up from where they had dug up looking for him. One summer Miracles went on tour with Witch's Hat from Columbia, MO. The Miracles LOVE THE HAT. Miracles just recorded a new album with Alex Mcmanus (The Bruces, Bright Eyes) it will be a humdinger. They have also played with Jack and Jim Show (Eugene Chadbourne & Jimmy Carl Black), Crooked Fingers AND Eric Bachman solo, Pansy Division, Paper Chase, Private Dancer, FAGHAT, Bald Eagle, The Autodramatics, Coolzey, TEXAR, Hey There Cowboy, Manimal Quartet, Warhammer 48K, The Teddy Boys, Bon Iver, The Bassturd, Neil Hamburger, Roommate, Rhombus, Leah Quinnelle Allstars, Twelve Cannons, Poison Control Center, and Joe FUCKING Kapp...all this name dropping is making me woozy...

Dear Friend(s)

Two fellow musicians and myspace community members were senselessly shot last Saturday morning in Savannah, Georgia. While they are people you most likely have not met, I am sending this out because ANY contribution towards their recovery would be greatly appreciated. They had just finished playing a show downtown and were attacked after two thugs approached them first trying to sell them drugs, then asking for money. These friends of mine gave the thugs some beers as that was all they had to offer.
In return, one was shot point blank in the neck, and the same bullet lodged in my other friends spine.

Here are some links:

This page was set up by the wife of one of my friends.
The whole story is there in her blogs.

This is the donation site. It is PayPal facilitated.
The donations will be split evenly between the two families.

Here is some footage of their band earlier that night playing.

PLEASE HELP MY BROTHERS OUT.
EVERY DOLLAR MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Great show at Tornado's, guys! My favorite part was when they interrupted you to sing "Happy Birthday" to Static from Rock 108.

My love for the Miracles is equalled only by my love for shitty mainstream hard rock radio, right?

You must want more gigs there. I would've said, "Hey, assholes, we're fucking playing a show here."

Whatever. Good times. I get angry sometimes.
