Desaparecidos wsg The So So Glos @ The Majestic Theatre 10-27-13 (Photos & Review)
By Alexis Simpson In 2012 Conor Oberst resurrected his political punk band, Desaparecidos, and brought them to Detroit last Sunday for a performance at The Majestic Theatre. The So So Glos out of Brooklyn opened, and garnered a mixed reception. The frontman was perhaps too talkative considering most of the crowd had probably never heard of his band. Usually a band has to earn the right to preach by allowing their music to gain attention before their words do. Luckily for The So So Glos, Conert Oberst jumped on to the stage near the end of their set to perform with them. Conor resembled an elfin, raven-haired Eminem in his…

The Pretty Reckless @ St. Andrew’s Hall 10-25-13 (Photos, Setlist & Review)
By Alexis Simpson Taylor Momsen is one of the most talented, ballsy, sultry and attractive women in rock ‘n roll today. Fortunately she always make it a point to stop in Detroit when touring. Ms. Momsen brought along her band to St. Andrew’s Hall for the Going to Hell tour which coincidentally is the name of the band’s latest single. This is a sort of “pre-tour” to prepare fans for their new album which is expected to be released in early 2014. Taylor Momsen easily commanded the stage last Friday with her coltish legs, doe eyes, and serpentine movements. Female fans wanted to be her, male fans wanted to have…

St. Lucia @ The Crofoot 10-18-13 (Review & Photos)
South African Jean-Philip Grobler’s band, St. Lucia, took over The Crofoot last Friday in celebration of their new album When the Night. St. Lucia is regarded as “up-and coming” in most music publications, and the sold-out Crofoot audience reveled in the chance to see Jean-Philip perform his new material live. Grobler’s stage presence was impressive which is to be expected because he’s been performing since he was a boy-a choir boy! Musically the group was on point as they displayed a full sound with remarkable vocals. For those new to St. Lucia, we recommend checking out these tracks: The Night Comes Again The Way You Remember Me Elevate Wait For Love…

Check it out! NOIZE-How did your show go in Grand Rapids a few days ago at The Orbit Room? JORDAN-Honestly, this last Grand Rapids show was my favorite we have ever played. The crowd was absolutely insane. There’s no better feeling than seeing a crowd sing along, crowd surf, jump up and down, and lose their minds. I don’t know one band that doesn’t like a crazy crowd. NO STANDING AROUND!…
