- Tonight is the first night of Blow Out the two weekend long music festival of pretty much every band in the Detroit area worth a damn (and then more). Every time I talk to outsiders (people who don't see local live music, not to be confused with The Outsiders), they have no fucking clue what the "Blow Out" or "Metro Times Blow Out" is. Even when I explain that it's Detroit's best music festival pu[...]

- Jamaican queens is the hottest band on earth and I mean that in the least sexual way. Their music is like taking a walk through the dream poppies. It's Adderall for your ears, and you don't need to buy it from college kids. It's flowing out of Ryan Spencer and Adam Pressley (Prussia alumni) and Christopher Lazlo Koltay (of the Dirtbombs). The show is at Trinosophes (1464 Gratiot, Detroit) for the [...]

- As a responsible "rock" journalist I must inform you that the coolest most pyschonautic visionary prophets of our modern era are all gathering for a 2 day event. The Axis Mundi is the axis that the earth spins by. The scientist will tell you it's in the NORTH and SOUTH POLES. But we who have our ears to the ground and our fingers on the pulse know that the true axis point lies in Detroit. This Fri[...]

- We love sponsoring things, so we sponsored this festival. Here is a link to the Facebook Event Page.

- The testament to a great band is their ability to impact an audience. Kids are a great barometer for that. Kids are honest--if they hate something you find out pretty quickly. If they love it, their adoration is endless.
Well, since my son was a wee babe the only sound that's comforted him is Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. They are in my top 10 for best live bands. I really dig 'em. But for [...]

- Thank God for false promises! After initially planning a quiet spring, My Pal Val has announced six shows for the rest of March through April. I'm pretty sure the secret is out on these guys, but those of you in or out of the know will want to get out and check the band in action. They're truly a special experience--amazing songs backed with amazing musicianship. Here are the dates:
March 20th [...]

- Bob Mould and his band hit the Magic Stick this Saturday night. You might remember Bob from a little band from Minneapolis called Hüsker Dü in the 80s, or maybe you were at the Nectarine Ballroom in Ann Arbor in 1989 and 1991 when he toured behind his early solo records. Maybe you remember when alternative rock hit big in the mid-90s and Bob fronted SUGAR – his most popular venture to date.

No need to pack a suitcase. We've packed it for you.

- It's been almost a month of re-modeling and the Phoenix Cafe is set to re-open Saturday, February 15th. I love the Phoenix not only because its just a block from my house (a large pool located in tropical in Madison Heights) but also because it consistently proves to be a cool spot. Sadly, the Phoenix is no longer B.Y.O.B. but everything has been torn out and redone, too. The new look is an ultra-[...]

- In a break from tradition, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics to Detroit band Cloud Social. The announcement was made at a press conference early Friday afternoon.
"It's surprising," said Cloud Social bass player Jeremy Cybulski following the press conference, "Usually the prize committee announces recipients on the second Friday in October. Also, we'[...]
