We’d be remiss without thanking our friends and pals at the Red Dog Saloon in Milford. These folks are great. Not only do they provide amazing friendly service, but they are always sporting some 7MJ garb to help remind their patrons that the band performs there regularly. 7MJ is looking forward to returning to the Red Dog on 10/29 to kick off the Halloween Weekend Spooktacular!

For those of you Metro Detroiter’s looking for a place to enjoy the beauty of Lake Saint Clair and do not own a boat to escape the heat of the city on, 7 Million Jigawatts has found the perfect place for you. At the end of Metro Parkway, AKA Big Beaver or 16 Mile, where the road meets Jefferson, swing a right and head down about 1/2 a mile. On the lake side, there’s a big banquet center called Gino’s Surf… and attached to it is the most killer patio bar called Luna Kai.
Plenty of dock space but get there early...
They have a lovely tiki bar, slips to dock your boat, spaces to park your car and loads of patio furniture to park your butt on. This place has all the perks of a beach side bar including great food, cold drinks and hot chicks.
7 Million Jigawatts returns to Luna Kai on Friday August 13.
You'll never know what you'll find at Luna Kai
Thanks to everyone who came out and supported 7 Million Jigawatts performances in Alpena this past weekend. It was great to return to Melissa & Nate’s hometown to play on Thunder Bay. The clouds parted and the rain stopped just in time for the Bay View concert to start. We met so many new people and saw alot of our old friends too. Wrapping up the Alpena Blues Festival later that night was certainly a treat. We jammed some blues tunes for the crowd and got everyone dancing til they turned up the lights. We are looking forward to playing in Alpena again very soon.
Special thanks to 107.7 the Bay for spinning the 7MJ tunes, “I’ve Got You Covered” and “Angel Dressed to Kill”. Please call the radio station at (989) 354-4611 and request that they keep playing our songs.
We are grateful for your support and couldn’t do it without you!
