you can’t get the drop on me
The MC5 is an American punk rock band first formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan. The band was originally active from 1964 until 1972, before reforming in 2003 with punk singer Handsome Dick Manitoba, of The Dictators, as its new vocalist. The original band line-up consisted of vocalist Rob Tyner, guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred “Sonic” Smith, bassist Michael Davis, and drummer Dennis Thompson.
“Crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening”,[1] according to Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the MC5′s far left political ties and anti-establishment lyrics and music positioned them as emerging innovators of the punk movement. Their loud, energetic style of back-to-basics rock ‘n’ roll included elements of garage rock, hard rock, blues-rock, and psychedelic rock.
The MC5 had a promising beginning which earned them a cover appearance on Rolling Stone magazine in 1969 even before their debut album was released.[2] They developed a reputation for energetic and polemical live performances, one of which was recorded as their 1968 debut album Kick Out The Jams. Their initial run was ultimately short-lived, though within just a few years of their dissolution in 1972, the MC5 were often cited as one of the most important American hard rock groups of their era.[3] Their three albums are regarded by many as classics, and their song “Kick Out the Jams” is widely covered.
Tyner died of a heart attack in late 1991, aged 46. Smith also died of a heart attack, in 1994, at the age of 45. Nine years later, Kramer, Davis and Thompson decided to reform the MC5, and this reformed line-up currently performs live.

Andy McKee is considered one of the world’s finest acoustic guitar soloists. His dedicated online community has raised his YouTube video views in excess of 78 million plays and at one point he held the 1, 2 and 3 positions for Top-Rated Videos of All Time on YouTube. McKee’s online media success has impacted both album and ticket sales allowing him to tour internationally with over 200 live shows a year.
Hailing from Topeka, Kansas, the self-taught McKee first garnered international attention as one of the top finalists at the prestigious National Finger Style Guitar Championships in Windfield, Kansas. Since 2001, McKee has released five albums independently selling upwards of 40,000. Andy also had the honor of playing guitar on Josh Groban’s Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum Christmas album, NOEL.
McKee’s live shows are a true testament to his art of stringsmanship and engaging repartee. He manages to capture both the every day music fan and guitar aficionados with his expertise and down to earth wit and humor. Whether it be explaining how his harp guitar tunes or why his frets are backward, Andy maintains his love for both fan and guitar player.
McKee’s unique skill allows him to transform the guitar from a simple stringed instrument to a dynamic calliope of sound. Andy’s deft talents give his music life through use of altered tunings, syncopated rhythm guitar taps, and his textural use of polyphonic tones and drones. All of these are played on both standard sized acoustic guitars and a hand-built 12 string harp-guitar. His highly-developed two handed technique is reminiscent of some of Andy’s cherished guitar mentors and heroes: Preston Reed, Don Ross, Billy McLaughlin, and Michael Hedges. He honors the path blazed by these pioneers with his unique multi- layering approach as he alone plucks, strums, taps the strings and body to provide the illusion of a full band accompaniment.
Andy was recently awarded the Acoustic Guitar Magazine worldwide silver medal award for fingerstyle in December 2008.
Andy McKee signed to Razor & Tie Entertainment in 2009 and will release the EP, COMMON GROUND in August of 2009 and a full length album in first quarter of 2010.

Mas me diz onde é que esse velho vai…
Esse velho é safado, toda noite ele sai
Me diz onde é que esse velho vai…
Esse velho é safado, toda noite ele sai
Ele sai todo arrumado, o que é que ele planeja?
Pode ter certeza que não vai pra igreja
Ele sai apressado e desliga o celular
Pode apostar que ele não vai trabalhar
É na sinuca, é no boteco, é no balcão de bar
É no baile, é no xaveco. Esse velho é de lascar
Mas me diz onde é que esse velho vai…
Esse velho é safado, toda noite ele sai
Me diz onde é que esse velho vai…
Esse velho é safado, toda noite ele sai
