the michigan musical collective great lakes myth society formed in 2003 after the demise of their previous incarnation the original brothers and sisters of love.part folk rock, part americana with hints of british 80's thrown in, the group consistently surprises me with their out of nowhere harmonies and wonderful arrangements. i can't wait to get my grubby hands on their upcoming album compass rose bouquet (especially after hearing the songs "march" and "heydeys" on their myspace site). i'm definitely a new fan!
check out some stuff by these boys:
great lakes myth society - debutante
[totally reminds me of the pogues! not usually my thing, but that aforementioned harmony just draws me in.]
great lakes myth society - across the bridge
great lakes myth society - isabella county, 1992
[taken from their self titled 2005 album]

The show at the Creek and the Cave also features buzz band Beat Radio and genius young songwriter Chris Bathgate.
Plus, it's an uber-intimate venue and only 1 stop from both Manhattan and Brooklyn on the 7, E, V, and G. Should be amazing.
