After many years of performing as a solo act, Mikey Needleman recruited two more musicians to converge for one purpose: to bring Mikey Needleman music alive in a way that fans have never experienced before.
The Mikey Needleman Band was formed in the Summer of 2006 and quickly gained much recognition and praise from critics. The band is made up of Mikey Needleman on Guitar and Lead Vocals, Bill Hurrelbrink on Bass
and Brent Owens on Drums.
Mikey and Brent had been working for many years together, but nothing came of their colaborations until recently.
Bill And Mikey had shared stages many times in the past in different projects so the addition was a natural one.
All of the members have been very active in different aspects of music all of their lives, so the chemistry between all three members yields ecclectic ideas and sounds. With open minds, The Mikey Needleman Band approaches music in a
way that many other succesful bands approach music; anxiously persuing a connection between the music and the fans.
The Mikey Needleman Band plays covers, requests AND originals!
From June 1st, of 2006 Six to June 1st of 2007, Mikey Needleman has been booked over 130 times!

We were "The Iowa Mountain Tour" and are now reformed as a punk-rock blues band.
We were stars of the acclaimed PBS documentary "Off The Charts The Songpoem Story". We also did songs and a music video for the comedic horror film "Puppy" starring Calico Cooper, daughter of rock legend Alice Cooper. One of our songs is heavily featured in the Chicago musical "Songpoems Wanted". We also write and produce our own films. We perform in the Chicago region mostly and have a following there! Our music is a fusion of Punk, Blues, Heavy Metal, Rockabilly, and Jazz, with some hip hop and rapp influences.

We are LIVE rock band! We believe loud guitars, huge drums, ball shaking bass, and killer melodies that hint at something thoughtful, or provoke towards change....I think..ha!
Horse To Water, a band stemming from Chicago, started when Joe Bishop – vocals/guitar – and Johnny Gagnon – drums – hung out and boarded to the tunes known as punk rock. Influenced by the styles of Anti-Flag, to the harmonic distortion of Cap’n Jazz, and the pure energy found in Bear Vs. Shark. The seed that grew into Horse To Water was planted and grew quickly, the band members having backgrounds such as eight years of guitar under the belt of Joe Bishop. He then encouraged Johnny Gagnon to master the drums and they soon become a two-man team. The two young kids, knowing that music was a strong link between them and a shared love for the art form, jammed out for years without knowing where it would take them. They had a feeling that whatever they were doing was something big, however, and added Andy Bishop to the roster, Joe’s younger brother. He, wanting to learn bass, became the third member of Horse To Water. Soon after along came Rikki Baudino. Shredding at a young age. Bringing the onstage shananagins.The four friends, influenced by similar music ranging from Bear Vs Shark, The Mars Volta, Fear Before The March Of Flames, Q And Not U, and French Toast, worked together to form what is now Horse To Water. But, they were in need of a fifth and final member in order to tie the band togethe with influencal punk roots, straight from St. Louis Marc Bannes. With one ten-song album under their belt, and the second album ready to release, the band is breaking barriers, playing shows, making good music, and they’ve only just begun.
The Signal is a rock band from Champaign/Urbana, Illinois. After a year of almost endless line up changes, including a new lead singer, The Signal has finally come across the right combination of talent and personality. The Signal will play a show almost anywhere. We never demand any kind of guarantee. Our goal is play as many shows as possible around the mid west, and eventually across the nation, to expose our music to as many people as possible.
