BUMP to rock Harvey’s on the Mall tonight

Tonight, Oct. 28, at 9 p.m. Magic Hat Brewing Company will be hosting a “Night of the Living Dead” party at Harvey’s on the Mall, with band BUMP providing live, free music.
Formed in 2001, BUMP began by playing shows in East Lansing, Detroit, and Grand Rapids.
Although a relatively new band, BUMP has played hundreds of shows across the country, participated in various festivals, and played with big names such as the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Ted Nugent.
For the past five months, BUMP toured 35 states, promoting their new album, “Forward.”
Although they’ve known for playing shows, BUMP has also been getting involved in other projects.
“There’s just so many shows going on that really the best way to get your music out there is to kind of incorporate it with other things – you know, movies, blogs, TV shows, internet advertising,” songwriter and lead singer for the band, Yorg, said.
Recently, the band was featured in an upcoming film, “Little Murder,” which stars Oscar nominated actor Terrance Howard.
“We went, we thought we weren’t going to get it, we got the call back, and the next thing you know, we’re playing the part of ‘the band’, playing our own music in the movie, and two songs are going to be on the soundtrack,” Yorg said.
Now, BUMP is returning to Kalamazoo.
“We’re excited about [the show],” Yorg said, “We love Harvey’s.”
Yorg explained the band’s history with Harvey’s on the Mall.
“Harvey’s has been along so long,” Yorg said, “Harvey’s has always been a really good music venue.”
Margeaux Bernstein, ‘Alebassador’ for Magic Hat Brewing Company, planned the “Night of the Living Dead” party. The party receives its name from the seasonal 12-pack Magic Hat is releasing.
“We thought of it as an industry night,” Bernstein said, “It’s an opportunity for people who work in the bars and restaurants in Kalamazoo who are college students or whoever that are going to end up working Saturday night.”
The party will feature a costume contest with a $100 prize for best costume. Also, four limited run beers from Magic Hat’s “Night of the Living Dead” 12-pack will be available, including #9, Circus Boy, Roxy Rolles, and Belgian Chocolate Stout.
According to Bernstein, Harvey’s is the top seller of #9 in Kalamazoo. However, she stressed that people come out and try it while it’s still available.
“I thought it would be a great opportunity to support [industry workers] as well as the city of Kalamazoo and throw just a great Halloween costume contest party,” Bernstein said of the party, “It’s an opportunity for them to come out and hang out and dance to some sweet sounds from BUMP.”
“We’re going to be rocking it up,” Yorg said, describing BUMP’s style as “very danceable stuff.”
“We have enough electronic gear on stage to make a Radioshack manager blush,” Yorg added.

HAPPY CAPS LOCK DAY!

THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING
Well, well, well! It’s that time of year again when the leaves change to a pretty blend of orange, yellow, and red. The frost starts to accumulate each morning on the lawns of Detroit, and everyone starts thinking about turkey, football, and getting bombed on THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING!
This year we’ve moved the party down to the riverfront to one of the most famous party locations in the history of Detroit, The Roostertail. The Roostertail has been host to some of the most legendary parties ever, including The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Bob Seger, and others. Joined by our good friends Natives of the New Dawn, THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING is sure to be the best one yet!
With an increased capacity of over 2,000 people, a heated beer tent, and shuttles from the Red Wings game, Fishbone’s in St. Clair Shores, and Excalibur Park in Grosse Pointe Park, this is the only spot to go on THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING!
Your first crack at getting tickets to this sure to sell out show is at our BUMP does BECK show on Saturday October 24th at the Majestic Cafe in Downtown Detroit. Advance tickets are only $20 so get them before the price goes up!
