" Grants, loans & academic scholarships * Coursework, internships, travel & more BANDS Continued from Page 38 some of its pop roots is Ann Arbor's Getaway Cruiser, currently recording its major-label debut on Sony 550 Music with a scheduled spring release. Dan Carroll, drummer for Getaway Cruiser, said the band draws heavily from pop, as well as hip-hop, blues and jazz. "Getaway Cruiser is really a meeting place of all of the band member's different influences," said Carroll, and the resulting sound is sample-heavy pop with drum loops, dance beats and hip-hop- inspired grooves. Getaway Cruiser is one Ann Arbor band that has potential success nationwide, but members still consid- er Ann Arbor their home base and will play a homecoming show Nov. 21 at the Blind Pig. "The good thing about Ann Arbor right now is that a lot of people are into experimenting," said Carroll, "and people are taking their knowledge of music to create something new." Butterfly, one local band with a very dance-oriented sound, is also trying to create something new with its "deep-dub disco," as guitarist and lead vocalist Niel Dixon Smith called it. "We do a lot of heavy stuff lyrically, but we like to put it in a context of danceable music," said Dixon Smith. Drawing from disco, dancehall reggae and house music, Butterfly's sound is distinctive and danceable. While the sounds of these Ann Arbor bands are vastly different, Dixon Smith believes they all share a common approach to making music. "When Butterfly plays, there's a spir- itual connection to it, which 1 think bands like Transmission, Morsel and Poignant Plecostomus have too," said Dixon Smith. These local bands have estab- lished a very faithful fan base among those who have been exposed to their music, but many students have yet to discover all that's going on with music in Ann Arbor. "The great thing about Ann Arbor right now is that there are so many musicians who are taking their music serious- ly," said Hitsky. Students and residents don't have to venture far to find a rich and diverse music scene. Maybe it is only a matter of time before wider segments of the student population catch on to the experimental and eclectic music being created by musicians right here in Ann Arbor.
