Terry Peake’s Art X Detroit Showcase: Junecast, Fireloom, & Bahamut (Photos)

Bonobo wsg Shigeto @ The Crofoot 4/19 (Photos & Review)
By Alexis Simpson Shigeto (aka Zach Saginaw) and Bonobo (aka Simon Green) sold out The Crofoot, and drew a very diverse crowd. Local favorite and Ghostly International artist, Shigeto, had a small entourage with him of his closest friends and family members. He was seen hanging out with his crew right before popping on stage to perform his set that ranged from ambient and soothing to ghettotech ass-tastic music. He has excellent range! Shigeto then jumped on the drums to enhance his own music as it played live. Those that weren’t familiar with Shigeto were blown away. Bonobo had masses of instruments and equipment on stage. He first appeared on the…

Mindless Self Indulgence @ The Fillmore Detroit 4/20/13 (Photos, Concert Review, & Setlist)
By Alexis Simpson Mindless Self Indulgence mixed rowdy punk rock with a little bit of rap, and delivered a quirky one-of-a-kind performance this past Saturday at The Fillmore Detroit. Props to the fans for coming dressed in colorful edgy attire and bright easter egg hair. This tour is in support of MSI’s new album being released next month, How I learned to Stop Giving a Shit and Love. Back in the day MSI opened for Detroit’s own Insane Clown Posse, but has now developed their own cult-like following. The stage setup for the night was wide-open and clean with only one mic-stand, two small backdrops, and a mini-drum kit. This…

Album Review: Stars In Stereo Self Titled Album (Score=82%)
By Alexis Simpson We stumbled across the band “Stars In Stereo” when they opened for Drowning Pool and Flyleaf at St. Andrew’s Hall earlier this year. New female-fronted rock bands are fairly rare, and we wanted to support and share today’s new release of Stars In Stereo. Click HERE to stream. This is a good first effort from Stars In Stereo-a step in the right direction. The group is radio-friendly, marketable, and the AP Mag/Warped audience will latch on quickly. Here is my first impression/track by track review! Let us know what you think of the album. Members: Bec Hollcraft – Vocals Jordan McGraw – Lead Guitar Justin Siegel –…

Bad Religion @ St. Andrew’s Hall 3/2/13 (Photos, Setlist, & Concert Review)
By Alexis Simpson “You can’t go wrong with a band whose frontman has a P.h.D., ” said one of my friends who was envious of our opportunity to cover Bad Religion’s Detroit leg of their North American tour. Bad Religion filled St. Andrew’s Hall with punk rock lovers, young, old, and rambunctious. Security wasn’t playing that night as they assertively marched the unruliest fans out the door and expertly manhandled the crowdsurfers. Singer Greg Graffin was on point with perfect phrasing throughout the fast-paced songs, and a youthful voice that a countless number of punk singers still emulate. Graffin was chatty with the crowd and told us about how Toronto…
