ABOUT THE MACPODZ

www.themacpodz.com

One of the nation’s great eccentric cities can fill its fanatical void with a young band called The Macpodz. A long time coming for sure, Ann Arbor finally has its first great jamband; a guitar-less five-piece comprised of brilliant musicians who via bass, trumpet, percussion/flute, keys, and drums, muster up some of the most energetic music on the scene today. With a little bit of everything in its musical grab bag, The Macpodz melt music lovers ears, from fans of far out jazz to those rootsy jam band-style grooves. The inventor and namesake of its own brand of funky dance music, coined ‘disco-bebop, The Macpodz pay homage to kinky musical concoctions like the groovy, unstructured big band instrumental works of the late, great Frank Zappa with psychadelic tinges of sunglasses-and-afro era Miles Davis. The Macpodz impress as only an open-minded band can, taking the core of genuine American music and tossing in tasteful touches of world music grooves and lots and lots of swinging horn licks that rouse and comfort all at once.

There were pirate quotes and references through out the show. Run Like Hell – “Arr, Arr, Arr” instead of “Run, Run, Run”. Brosiah Man Down had lots of pirate lyrics. UFO – “UFPS: Unidentified Funky Pirate Ship”. Before set three there was a humorous “Dubstep” jam with Matt on Drums and Luke on Synth.

The 2nd annual Pirate show was an epic, epic evening. Held in a private barn owned by Jerry Jam organizer Dan Webb (you can thank him for the large number of Dead tunes) that has been decorated like a pirate ship, complete with a balcony and captains wheel over looking the stage, the band and audience dressed in full pirate gear. Cookies, huge turkey legs, and rum were abound at this BYOB event. Matt was referred to as “Matisyahu” all night due to his beard.

Set 1 started at 9:30PM. Set III ended around 3:30AM.

Set IV started with Luke solo, then added the rest of the band at the end of Pizza Towers. Then Luke left at some point. They Aaron left about 20 minutes later. Aarron reappeared 30 minutes later, then left during Amish Paradise. Matt and Eric finally stopped playing around 6 AM.

The shows length can in part be attributed to a group of fans who, having attended their first show the night before in Boston, rounded a crew up and made the 3 hour drive. They didn’t leave the room except for set breaks! That and… well of course copious amounts of RUM and GROG!!!

$ With Rob Compa (Dopapod, Frit, Mondo Gecko) on guitar.

Timbre Coup and The Organic Sound Project opened.
