Pop Best Bet: OK Go

Written by Emma Kat Richardson | Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:07 |

Get those treadmills out of storage, everyone! By the time this Ok Go show has come and gone, we’re all going to be reenacting that infamous treadmill dance until somebody loses a digit.

Surf Best Bet: Los Straitjackets

Written by Emma Kat Richardson | Tuesday, 23 September 2014 16:05 |

Despite what’s suggested by its name, Los Straitjackets is anything but tied down and restricted of movement. In fact, as one of the most innovative, retro-fitting rock outfits in the current game as we know it, this fearsome fivesome wouldn’t last too long in the sterile confines of a mental institution.

Country Best Bet: Eric Church

Written by Emma Kat Richardson | Tuesday, 23 September 2014 15:58 |

Written by Missy Black | Tuesday, 23 September 2014 15:47 |

Kids always seem like they’re having a good time around Halloween. Or is it the candy high? Before the holiday hits, head to Holland and invoke Slacker Parent rule No. 1: Watch someone else make a mess carving pumpkins for a change.

Written by Nolan Krebs | Tuesday, 09 September 2014 11:42 |

If you hadn’t heard, Holland got dealt a bummer at the end of August: Lemonjello’s will no longer be hosting live music following a final show Sept. 20.

After an 11-and-a-half-year run, owner Matthew Scott has decided to move on, citing a fizzling interest from bands and smaller turnouts for shows.

From a $300,000 upgrade to the DeVos Performance Hall to arts institutes that are using technology to connect with the public, it's no mystery: West Michigan wants more of the arts. We highlight it all in our annual Arts Issue.
