You guys/ladies/other love Black Moth Super Rainbow so much we thought you'd like to see them for free! March 5/10 Magic Stick, all you gotta do is tell us your favorite bug (comment below or tweet @motorcityrocks). Winner (of ticket +1) will be chosen at random on 5/5 (at whatever time I wake up). Void where prohibited by law, yadda yadda.
I'm too big of a nerd to have ever experimented with psychedelics but if I ever do I hope my experience is something like a Black Moth Super Rainbow show. Having just released their latest record, Cobra Juicy, last fall, BMSR are hitting Detroit on May 10th as they return to the Magic Stick. I saw them there a few years ago and the experience was INTENSE. I have no idea how many smoke machines[...]

Michigan has 2 seasons: too hot and too cold (also known as SO COLD). And boring people only talk about the weather, so it is with great pleasure that I pronounce it summer. YES and this is your (first) summer jam!
Cayucas pronounced "zRfE-444" is the project of Zach Yudin, a Californian who has spent the last few years working at an independent jazz label ?! I[...]
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 [...]
Apparently, Fall Out Boy has embarked on a tour to save rock 'n roll. While nothing oriented in that direction is going to tickle my fancy at the moment, I think the Danger Bees have the best chance at conquering a task so ludicrous. If you want catchy rock songs give 'em a go.
Our neighbors to the North often come off as seeing so polite, but this latest Danger Bees video--which I'm assuming [...]
The members of Phantasmagoria are already making 2013 a banner year. Not only did they just help to kick off a monthly showcase of electronic music at Ferndale's Loving Touch (the aptly named collective is called High Vibrations), but now they've dropped a new music video for the song "Child of the Sun" from their debut album released last summer and available for purchase here. The new video is [...]
The concept for this video isn't too radical--it's the band playing the song with some video-effects over top--but the song, 'High School Lover', works. According to the press release, you should hear some "California Roots" to the song. This is code for "sounds like a Beck B-side". Not to rag on Cayucas or to suggest their sound is a bad thing. They're getting some good nods--airplay on SiriusXMU[...]
