Welcome to the new MPMF.COM, the official headquarters for all things MidPoint. Here on the home page we will corral all of the latest goings-on from all fronts, but feel free to explore the site for more specific details.

Kagero

Kagero KAGERO (Brooklyn, NY): Gypsy-flavored acoustic rock... "a melting pot of tonalities and rhythms from Asia, the Middle East, South America and Eastern Europe. Throw Gogol Bordello, Arcade Fire and Davie Bowie in a blender and you get Kagero. Sometimes the songs are beautiful imagery, sometimes sad folk tales, and sometimes silly songs about drinking. Kagero's world music goulash is very tasty -- even if you don't always know what you're eating."

Kagero is confirmed to perform at MPMF09.

yourself and the air

Yourself and The Air YOURSELF AND THE AIR (Chicago, IL): Comprised of five friends and two brothers, the band's sound is eclectic; self proclaimed as "natural indie", it's melded from countless modern and classic influences. Mostly compared to bands like The Cure, At The Drive-In, and Modest Mouse, the band succeeds at bringing a fresh mix to the table while striving to evolve and mature every step of the way.

Yourself and The Air is confirmed to perform at MPMF09.

Fists of love

Fists of Love FISTS OF LOVE (Cincinnati, OH): Both airy and gritty like smog or a sandstorm for your ears. The Fists of Love have rocked the Cincy music scene for years appearing with some of the most prolific acts the city has to offer. In summing up their sound they quote Utah Phillips, "In a mass marketing economy, a revolutionary song is any song you choose to sing yourself. welcome to the revolution."

Fists of Love is confirmed to perform at MPMF09.

Black Saints Cartel

Black Saints Cartel BLACK SAINTS CARTEL (Cincinnati, OH): Embodying the very essence of rock, but adding a unique, blended edge which creates an alluring sound that appeals to all generations. Sincerely, appreciating the pure energy of old-school arena rock, the members of Black Saints Cartel embrace every single moment on stage, while still preserving the signature sex appeal that drives rock and roll fans wild.

Black Saints Cartel is confirmed to perform at MPMF09.

The seedy seeds

The Seedy Seeds THE SEEDY SEEDS (Cincinnati, OH): Scraping the lackluster paint-by-number song structure and integrating a seemingly endless palette of color teeming with bright, electric shades, the Cincinnati duo allows its songs to be commandeered by an onslaught of instruments and playful intricacies. Margaret Weiner and Mike Ingram work in cohesive unison, as either might at any time wield a banjo, bass, accordion, guitar, kazoo or slide whistle.

The Seedy Seeds are confirmed to perform at MPMF09.
