Animal Magnets (slight return?)
As if local musicians like Chris Tishler, Rob McCuen and Paul Wall didn't have enough to do, the trio has reformed its band Animal Magnets for what may or may not be a one-off show this week with The Plexi 3 and Van Gloria at Points East Pub. The band -- which also includes Cliff Ulsberger and Joel Beskow -- plays Saturday, June 13.

Ferry cross the egg nog
Well, OK, it will only be Dec. 8 when Detroit power pop trio The Singles play at Points East Pub, but the band's "Baby It's Christmas" will certainly get everyone in the mood for egg nog and yule log.
