Detroit Free Press! Article MetroTimes Blowout/October Babies!! How NICE!!!
MetroTimes Blowout was such a great experience!! And I'm very happy to receive wonderful reviews!!!
From the article•••
• When I wandered into Whiskey in the Jar on Friday I had no idea what to expect from October Babies. I'm usually a toe-tapper and/or a head-bobber, but that night I couldn't help but dance.
The femme-fronted, Ypsilanti-based rock and soul band had a really cool groove, and it didn't seem to matter that I couldn't understand the lyrics sung in Japanese. It was the infectious enthusiasm of lead singer Toko Shiiki that turned my toe-tapping into dancing -- and I wasn't the only one. The entire place seemed to erupt into an all-out dance party. This kind of moment was what makes the Blowout so cool and unique.
(Rachel May)Thank you Rachel!!!!! Thank you, Blowout!!!!!!!! Great event!!!!!!!!

Since Heidelberg closed its doors to live music, Gracies has been inviting more local bands
to perform. Ann Arbor has become such a corporate town, and the local music/art scene is one of the few remaining ways that one might feel the quirky personality of Ann Arbor. Come support the scene - let Gracies know that you care about the health of Ann Arbor's cultural roots!)
Please come out to these shows, not just to see us, but to show your love for the
creative community we are all privileged to be a part of. Support the venues that are
giving us all a place to play. If you contribute to the buzz, it will contribute to you too!!
best wishes!
