“With Bandeau (ex-Johnny Headband), the distinctly contemplative Chad Thompson delivers a potent and pleasing patchwork of pop-adjacent sonic flavors, complete with danceable beats, splashy guitars, spacey synths, and catchy earworm melodies — something like a nü-new-wave, or a jazz-injected disco, conveyed in a sort of post-modernist cosmic crooner style” –Metrotimes they will be joined by members of the Detroit Party Marching Band
There will be a limited run of very Orange vinyl records available at the show celebrating Bandeau’s release os their debut album Spirit Fingers.

Timothy Monger is a musician and writer living in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He has recorded four solo albums ranging in style from lush baroque pop to pastoral folk and harmony-driven indie rock. He first established himself in the mid-2000s as a member of the cult classic Ann Arbor band Great Lakes Myth Society which he co-founded with his brother James Christopher Monger. The roots of this band lay in another pioneering ensemble the brothers had previously helmed called the Original Brothers and Sisters of Love. Under that name they released a pair of wildly eccentric folk-rock LPs for Brooklyn indie the Telegraph Company (Kelley Stoltz, Stew) before disbanding in 2003. Prior to launching Great Lakes Myth Society, Monger issued his solo debut, Summer Cherry Ghosts, in the summer of 2004. The lush chamber pop song cycle earned comparisons to the Beach Boys, Electric Light Orchestra, and early Bee Gees and was re-released in Japan the following year by the Trolley Bus label. By early 2005, Great Lakes Myth Society had emerged with their self-titled debut. Fusing elegant XTC-inspired pop with a distinctly Midwestern rock sensibility, the band soon signed to Michigan indie Quack! Media which issued their acclaimed sophomore effort, Compass Rose Bouquet, in 2007. The three years that followed included a run of national tours, annual appearances at SXSW and shows with Patti Smith, British Sea Power, the Hidden Cameras, and the Walkmen among many others.” –timothymonger.com he is joined by Carol Catherine (Misty Lyn & the Big Beautiful)
