Run the Jewels wsg Boots @ Royal Oak Music Theatre (Photos)
By Alexis Simpson http://www.runthejewels.net Run the Jewels are current media darling so I wanted to check them out when they came to town. The crowd was made up of about 95% men that aggressively blurted out every lyric. The lighting was horrible for pictures, but overall it was a good experience. I’m trying to listen to their music more so I can get into it. ru

Korn @ the Detroit Fillmore, Plus Bonus Photos from Earlier in the Year!
By Alexis Simpson Korn played this weekend at the Detroit Fillmore. Korn has been hauling ass all over the world the last few years, and shows no sign of slowing down. This tour is special because they are playing their first album in its entirety. Hopefully this tour quenches fans’ thirst for the old music, and inspires Korn to continue writing and performing new music. http://www.korn.com http://www.myspace.com/korn http://www.facebook.com/korn http://www.twitter.com/korn http://www.youtube.com/user/kornchannel Members: Jonathan Davis – Vocals James Shaffer – Guitar Brian Welch – Guitar Reginald Arvizu – Bass Ray Luzier – Drums Photos Bonus Photos from Columbus, Ohio!

Cake wsg Kaleo at The Detroit Fillmore (Photos)
By Alexis Simpson My two favorite Cake signs are “Sheep go to Heaven” and “Mexico.” “Sheep go to Heaven” was the first song of the night so I tried not to dance around like a goof while taking photos from the pit. For “Mexico,” I sat in the balcony and sung along like a happy kid. I was shooting my second show for Metro Times, and got to shoot Cake last minute. Singer John McCrea graciously took his hat off and bowed to the crowd when he first walked on the stage. Despite McCrea being sick, Cake sounded superb live. http://www.cakemusic.com Members: Vincent DiFiore, John McCrea, Xan McCurdy, Gabriel Nelson, Paulo…

Travel: A Culinary Honeymoon to Traverse City and Chicago (Photos)
By Alexis Simpson We left for Traverse City the day after our honeymoon. Our dog didn’t want us to go. We stayed at the Grand Traverse Resort. We got a newly remodeled King Tower room after Paul finagled with the front desk. Yay! The shower was big enough to fit 6 ppl, and the view was amazing. www.grandtraverseresort.com/ Soon after we checked in, we left to check out the Black Star Farms winery’s restaurant, “Heath and Vine.” The road leading into the winery had lots of photo opportunities. www.blackstarfarms.com/ The meal at Heath and Vine was so fresh and good. By the time we got to Black Star Farms, we didn’t…

Awolnation @ The Detroit Fillmore (Photos) 7-3-15
By Alexis Simpson Awolnation is one of the most innovative and interesting bands currently touring. Frontman Aaron Bruno is quirky, but not overly so, meaning that his music is still relatable. The band last played at St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit a few years ago, but last week the progressed to Detroit’s Fillmore. Bruno is a strong performer, and his band is solid as well. This is a group to pay attention to. Awolnation just released a new album a few weeks ago, and at first listen, it’s one of the best new albums we have heard lately. http://www.awolnationmusi.com https://www.facebook.com/AWOLNATION/ https://www.instagram.com/awolnationmusic
