Picture Show: The Rhythm Devils at the Ogden Theater
Can’t wait to see these guys headline Hoxeyville in August. Keller’s Friend of the Devil was an inspired, respectful, and oh so Keller. Mickey and Bill got their groove on and made me remember the drums at Rothbury. Enjoy!

Gallery: Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa at Summer Camp 2010
I hadn’t seen ZPZ since Rothbury, and I think they’ve been taking vitamins. This show gave me goosebumps, and not just for the helicopter-ing, horns, and stage presence. These guys know how to perform and put on what I thought was a SCAMP2010 top-10.

Photos: Papadosio, live at the Loft in Lansing, Michigan
The most I had heard of Papadosio was during my sprint past the Campfire stage at last weekend’s Summer Camp Festival. I’m thrilled to have fixed that situation last night, when they came to Lansing and threw down at the Loft. After an inspiring opening set by the Macpodz, I found myself in for a [...]

Summer Camp: Keller Williams
Keller’s just so damn cute you want to take him home and make him a peanut butter sammich, watch cartoons and chill. Would have loved to see the new “Keller & the Keels” but alas this was a solo performance. One of the biggest issues I had with Summer Camp is that Keller supposedly “gave [...]

Summer Camp: ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra)
With a name like Animal Liberation Orchestra you know these are some crazy cats. Zach Gill (Keyboards, Vocals) went to High School with Jack Johnson, who helped produce the band’s first album. They put on a great show at Summer Camp, and I loved the slide guitar.

Summercamp: Cirque du Womp
This year was all about the WOMP and late-nights outside the Soulshine tent were filled with beautiful performances of fire-breathing, poi, and juggling. Shout-outs to my friend Majik from East Lansing, MI for putting on quite the show (the blonde with awesome dreads). Music was a womptastic mix by Seek Selekta.

The Macpodz at Summer Camp 2010
The Macpodz are a tried and tested band from Ann Arbor Michigan that bring a lot to the table for a jam band. And they don’t have a guitar player, either. Brennan explained in an exclusive interview with BTJ that this puts them in a great position to be able to jam with some of the [...]

STS9 Late-night set at the Barn – Summer Camp 2010
STS9′s inclusion in Summer Camp may have been due to the fact that these old guys create soundscapes on a grand scale. Traditional late-night fare, STS9′s blend of electronica with live instruments makes them doubly enjoyable. They rocked the house past 3AM and even did an encore. The room was a bit too full for [...]

Summercamp 2010 Umphrey’s McGee Friday Set One Photos
An epic first set for UM Friday evening opening with Rocker pt. 2. Highlights included an amazing “Girlfriend is Better” Talking Heads cover. I’d been getting a “feeling” all day and by the end of glory, was calling a Cemetery Walk encore. I got it, and the weekend was just beginning. I’d just been handed [...]

Summer Camp 2010: The Scene
Since arriving yesterday we’re constantly and consistently impressed with the level of though and detail that went into the planning and production. The grounds are clean – although the portable toilets aren’t. Evidently it’s an ongoing issue that I hope improves – or we’ll have to post poocano pics.
