WSGR 91.3fm Status Update

New tower installed and transmitter back up to full power. New equipment installed in the actual studio over the next week or so. The station will be back on the air asap. Can't say exactly when but soon (hopefully sometime in the next two weeks if not before). Sit tight and get ready.

August 16th in Port Huron: Green Gathering 2008

Cultivating a Responsible Community
Pine Grove Park
Noon-7pm

Gather to celebrate our Earth and find ways to live in better balance with it.

By educating ourselves and engaging in civil discussion of real issues, we gain the tools necessary to affect positive change. There will be vendors, informational displays, educational speakers and live entertainment. This is an organic event. That is to say, a handful of concerned individuals and organizations come together to plant a seed, and we need you to make it grow. If you would like to register to have a display or to volunteer to help send a message to green@bluewaterbeat.org

From this past Saturday

The Readies and the Magic Shop played the Roche bar in Port Huron this past Saturday. It was pretty bad ass. The Readies are Dan Kroha (the Gories, Demolition Dollrods) new rock-n-roll trio and the Magic Shop are a loud bit of jangle that includes Steve Nawara of Rocket 455 and Detroit Cobras fame on guitar and vocals. Bunch of pics Dale Merrill took and commentary over at Smashin' Transistors. Go check it out! And yes...these were all shot on actual film.

The Readies and Magic Shop get the Roche a-shakin' this Saturday!

The Readies (feat. Detroit garage-punk legend Danny Kroha of the Gories/Demolition Dollrods fame) and Magic Shop (who include "local dude" Jake & one time Detroit Cobras/Electric Six Steve) @ the Roche Bar in Port Huron this Saturday Night August 9th.

The Readies got a biker soul/T. Rex on rocket fuel thing

Catch 22. We're gonna miss you.

Some of us our meeting tonight down in the pub to pay our last respects to one of our favorite local establishments. It's been rough going in the area and Catch 22 is another victim of the times. Us here at Blue Water Beat are going to miss the place. Meet us there if you'd like.
If you would like to send well wishes to Catch 22 and it's staff you can do it here.
