Thanksgiving Eve is renamed Rocksgiving

Written by Steve Barman. Posted in Detroit Concerts

There’s a lot of quality shows going on the night before Thanksgiving, and if you miss’em you might as well drown your self in gravy. Ponder this, you could spend Thanksgiving still drunk from the night before, blown out eardrums, and covered in last nights sickness – or deal with your family, as is, clean and sober. This choice is obvious. How to spend Rocksgiving? Not so clear cut!

The Jesus Lizard, Easy Action @ Crofoot
The Jesus Lizard live is industrial post-punk insanity, with more energy than a 5 year old, not a show that comes around every day. Also featuring the equally heavy Easy Action.
Doors are at 8pm @ Crofoot $20

The Sights (RECORD RELEASE), SSM, The Beggars, The Barrettes @ The Magic Stick
Record release shows are always a high watermark performance for the bands involved. The garage rock institution The Sights will be releasing Most of What Follows Is True. They’ll be joined with the 5 piece dance-til-you-hurt party that is The Beggars, psychedelic sonic warriors SSM, and The Barrettes!
Doors at 8pm @ The Magic Stick $10

Lee Marvin Computer Arm, Terrible Twos, The Readies, Silverghost, The Johnny Ill Band @ Lager House
If I remember correctly, last year on this very same date, I saw Lee Marvin Computer Arm and the Terrible Twos play at the Lager House. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, I guess. This is the show that might just break Lager House attendance records. Lee Marvin Computer Arm is like hitting a wall at 80 miles per hour, The Terrible Twos are the wall, The Readies are the seatbelt you should have been wearing, Silverghost is the out of body experience, The Johnny Ill Band is the road.
Doors at 9pm @ The Lager House $9
