NEW BAND! the REBEL KIND!!

I'm really excited about our new band the REBEL KIND, which is led by my friend Autumn Wetli who is also the drummer/singer in Bad Indians. I (Shells) am playing bass, and Amber (Swimsuit/Damned Dogs etc) is playing drums. Jules (also in Bad Indians) plays guitar, and Autumn plays guitar & sings & writes all the songs.

We have played two shows so far! The first one was opening for Widowspeak at Space 2435 in Ann Arbor. Our friend Jason Sudak took video of our entire set:



THEN! our second show was at Totally Awesome Fest 9 behind VG Kids in Ypsilanti! It got reviewed by Mark Maynard, who also took this video:



Stay tuned for more info on future shows, and on the Rebel Kind and Shells LPs which are coming out on Life Like!!

WIDOWSPEAK + the REBEL KIND 4/14 etc

Forgot to post this one earlier...


This Sunday there is another exciting Ginkgo show! This one is the full band debut of the Rebel Kind, which is our friend Autumn Wetli's band. We are longtime fans of Autumn's songs (Autumn is also a member of Bad Indians and the 7" we put out features an awesome song written by her). So it's a joy to be playing with her! The band features Autumn on guitar & vocals, myself (Shelley) on bass, Amber Fellows on drums and Jules Nehring (also of Bad Indians etc) on electric guitar.

This show is our live debut, and we will also be playing at Totally Awesome Fest 9 on Friday April 26 at VG Kids in Ypsilanti.

Additionally, the Rebel Kind has an LP coming out on the Life Like! And so does Shells! Our records should be done around the same time so stay tuned for record release details. We were hoping they might be done by the Life Like Festival this week but of course these things always take longer than expected. But also we are still both playing at the Life Like Festival which is going to be great, so make sure to come to that this Friday April 12 at the Elks Lodge! (see a couple posts down for details!)

Check out the Rebel Kind here:
