Midwest Skies! is a band definitely worth checking out. Other than playing great music, they are a great group of guys. Check out the bio:
The members of Midwest Skies met in 2007 at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. As brothers of Sigma Pi Fraternity, International, they soon realized that they shared a common ground- passion for performing music.
Midwest Skies officially came together in the summer of 2009, and has had the opportunity to share the stage with many popular signed bands. In January of 2010, Midwest Skies received the opportunity to record their first EP at Mattress Factory Studios in Chicago, Illinois with producer Martin Atkins (American Bandstand, Nine Inch Nails, Public Image LTD.) and engineer Steve Moore.
Street teams have been established in numerous states, as far south as Texas, as far west as California, and as far east as Maryland. Since their start, they have reached a level of success not seen by many Grand Rapids-based bands, and continue to astonish new fans and venue owners with their electric live performances and catchy, infectious, upbeat songs.
“These songs are hook city! I’m not f****** kidding, this stuff gets stuck in your head and I love it!” –Martin Atkins, music producer.
Some bands they've shared the stage with:
-The Secret Handshake (Triple Crown Records)
-The Dangerous Summer (Hopeless Records)
-Asteria (Broken English Records)
-Patent Pending (We Put Out Records)
-The Upwelling (Edmond Records)
-The Ataris (Columbia Records).
