West Como


No shortage of things to do tonight in Metro-Detroit.


First off, One Under at the Magic Stick. One Under is an Ohio based jam band that started when Ed McGee (guitar/vocals) and Johnny Polansky (percussion) left the more established ekoostik hookah. Rumors abound on why they parted with hookah, but my guess is they were sick of only playing weekend gigs with a band notorious for hardly getting together outside of shows which led many to question their overall future plans.


Tonight will be my fifth One Under show since first catching them in Toledo back in November of 2005. They recently released their first studio disc, and tickets for tonight (which includes two other bands) are a scant $8.


Another option is the return of Sugar Hiccup at 5th Avenue in Royal Oak with DJ Quig and Melissa Emily. The stakes are upped this time as the event is set to be simulcast live on the much hyped Second Life. Avatars beware. $5.00 cover charge.
