Workspace PR launches Jan. 19 at the Loving Touch with free, local showcase: Bars of Gold / Phantom Cats / Nice Hooves and (Toledo's) Silent Lions.
"Getting the word out" seems simultaneously easier and harder than ever in 2013, with so many shareable outlets feeding an essentially amorphous audience. Which digital podium can provide a band, an artist, a creative collective, the loudest voice for their art? How to get the word out when there's just so many words and so many ways, so many bands and so many channels. Ferndale-based Workspace PR (WSPR) approaches the monster of modern media fittingly, as broadly as possible, free of any illusions and boosted by a range of experience. WSPR (or, if you like: "Whisper") is a quartet of new-styled publicists embracing labors of love by promoting all of the invigorating/endearing creative efforts of myriad Michigan artists.

The legendary (yes legendary, go Google it, oh ye uninitiated...) “dusk till dawn” outdoor masquerade /freak/goth- rock-n-roll carnival was started a dozen years ago by multifaceted graphic artist (and exceptional on-the-fly carpenter) John Dunivant, in the backyard of collaborator Ken Poirer, beside the original Michigan State Fair Grounds.

Spaced-out-Brit-popped-Surf-splashed-psychedelic-party-starters! Ferndale quartet are coming back into action and on to the stage this Friday with their long-time music-community allies: Bars of Gold and Duende.
I hear it... then I can see it: A bubble-gum-crusted boot stomps down into a puddle of reverb, splashing radiant droplets of sweet melody and murky feedback all across the paved flooring of the garage, riled-up rock splayed out sonorously into the rafters; four musicians, the essential elements, (guitar-bass-drum-guitar-...and a yowling/crooning-voice), forming a song-summit cycling through sensibilities as varied as: pure/seminal pop hooks, tropicalia-tweaks, freaked-out-psychedelia, sunburst-surf, shambolic lo-fi rock and dance-minded post-punk. Listen: Oscillating Fan Club - "SubUrban Lovers of the Undead" At least that's the image in my head this morning, listening back to the ol' albums by The Oscillating Fan Club. I say "ol' albums…
