WEST MI PUNK

11/10/2025

Got my copy of the new featuring some of my flyer collection and a few words about why I feel compelled to hold on to these things.

Its a beautifully put together and huge collection of articles dedicated to why music is special. It is well worth checking out.

It's really cool this is coming out while Im working on the flyover diy exhibit and really digging more into gathering more flyers.

Getting to help make sure none of these bands or artists are forgotten to time will always be exciting!

When was the last Cloud Rat show in muskegon? Probably the same last muskegon show? Getting the final touches on the next attrition cult record and they never disappoint. Big big show. SF Shows always put together some killer lineups.

Exciting news! Long rant ahead.

TLDR: I have a project that will finally let me broaden my scope to involve all of Michigan and possibly some of the surrounding great lakes area. I especially need FLYERS, ZINES, and DIY OR HAND DONE RELEASES. but i might need AUDIO MEDIA, APPAREL, PINS, PATCHES......ECT. anything having to do with the DIY music scenes in michigan and the surrounding great lakes area.

-------------------

I have some big things in the works and a giant project to help organize.

We're not ready to announce it yet but hopefully in a few months I can share some details as they come along.

But for now I need you help preparing for it. Like I've been doing for west Michigan I will be collecting flyers, music, ect. But this time all of Michigan is included.

I am focusing on flyers, zines and printed materials but will always accept music, especially diy releases with handmade components.

So please go get that old box of flyers out of the attic or garage and let me know what you have.

I will be working on this possibly into next year. So if you are reading this. I still need more materials!

Dm me or email [email protected] if you have anything interesting!!
