MURUGA! MAY 2 AT PJ LAGER HOUSE AND NEWS!


Thanks for all your support... saw you listed him as one of the top Detroit drummers on your blog a while back... I really appreciate you getting behind Detroit music like you do and helping to make people not forget Detroit and it's music of past and present.

Muruga is also opening for Melvin Davis on May 3 but this is the show we are pushing the most as it's the bands headlining show but Spyder will also be at the Davis show which is way cool. Also, the Cosmic Hoedown Band have a new record coming out soon "Changing the Sound of Your Room" and we will all be at the Detroit Music Awards as Muruga has a couple nominations and the band was nominated for Outstanding LIve Performance which was a HUGE honor. THANKS AND BLESSINGS!
