What are YOU doing to kick off Labor Day weekend? I know what Free Beer is doing!  Rocking Cowley's in Farmington to celebrate the First Friday of September this Friday, September the 3rd.  Most everyone in the band ('ceptin'  Dewey) has done all their vacationing already and doesn't want to be any part of the traffic jam up north that is Labor Day.  Besides, there's so much to do in Detroit with the Jazz Festival, the Art Beats and Eats festival in Royal Oak and Free Beer Open Carry (Beer) night at Cowley's!  Come on out, kick off the weekend with us this Friday then hang around and enjoy THIS town for the weekend! THANK YOU CLEVELAND!! The Edelman's were great hosts and Scalpers was a blast.  There are lots of great pictures on our website and Eric Edelman (from the band Timeless who warmed us up down in Cleveburg) shot some video of the band as well, which is posted on Facebook so click and see if rock Cleveland any harder than Detroit. Timeless was great, and it was their first gig in a bar EVER.  Wait until they play their 283rd gig ... they'll be perfect! GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT AT PLYMOUTH ROC Free Beer is attempting to set a world record for "Most People Inside the Plymouth ROC" on Friday, September 17th.  We don't need an RSVP from you, just bring yourself and anyone else you want to try to cram in there and be part of HISTORY!!! WE HAVE PICTURES
	Here's some shots from Cleveland.  Speaking of Shots in Cleveland, look at this picture!!! Free Beer's annual Pilgramage to the LandOTheEdelmans in Cleveland was a great success. Eric Edelman's band Timeless played their first bar gig ever. Anita and Buddah came all the way down from Detroit to join us ... then made it for shots of Tequila and White Castles at the Red Roof Inn.  On the way home, Kurt Tom and Scott wrote some songs about Rock and the Road. Lots of fun pictures of all of our good looking guests.  Check it out here or on our Photos Page Or, you can see them on our FACEBOOK page now. Wanna see a girl with semen on her shirt?  Click Here!

"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline.
It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons,
but at the very least you need a beer."
Frank Zappa

THE FREE BEER STORY
Known in among audiophiles as "Detroit's Most Persistent Band," Free Beer has been kicking around the Detroit music scene since the Summer of 1993.

People have been talking about Free Beer for years.  Here's just a sampling of some of their comments ...

"... a wonderfully bizarre entertainment experience!  Classic!" -- (a former) METRO TIMES (employee)

"... soooo, you're a five piece?..." (our first booking agent)

"...Free Beer may be the only band in history to do a selection by old  school Swedish Punk Band The Hives and follow it up with Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash ..."  -- Neil Rubin, THE DETROIT NEWS

"... so what you're saying is I have to pay for the beer? ..." -- Our First Confused Fan

" ... I said turn off the amps or we are taking you downtown ... " -- Royal Oak Police on their third stop at the Free Beer House Party
