An Interview with Ty Stone
Ty Stone has been described as “a powerhouse singer in an unprettified package.” This Detroit native has been earning lots of fans due to his raw talent, lyrics that hit home, and likeable personality. Music has always been a big part of Ty Stone’s life, but it took a little help from Kid Rock to take it to a whole new level. A good friend of Ty’s was able to slip Kid Rock a demo during a Piston’s game, and not long after, Ty found himself hanging with Kid Rock, touring, and putting out a new album on Top Dog/Atlantic Records. Ty’s story inspires, and he deserves his success. See…

Panic! at the Disco in Royal Oak @ Arts, Beats, & Eats 9/2/2011 (Photos and Review)
Coachella? Lolla? SXSW? Sure, they’re great…But the small city of Royal Oak has been pulling together their own mini music festival full of great acts at an unbeatable price. The city was able to snag Panic at the Disco before the band sets out on their Fall tour. Panic! singer, Brendon Urie, quickly commented to the crowd how hot it was in Detroit and teased that he may have to remove some clothing if the audience is willing to as well. Record temperatures or not, Panic! at the Disco put on a lively, full-sounding performance complete with great lighting, superb musicianship, and Urie’s distinctive and lyrical voice. You didn’t have…

The Psychedelic Furs at Royal Oak’s Eats, Beats & Eats (Photos & Review)
The Psychedelic Furs are the kind of band that can take music from the past and make it new again. They drew a large crowd on the last day of Royal Oak’s Arts, Eats, & Beats and put on a strong performance. Richard Butler had a lot of interesting Vogue type poses and a killer smile as his best accessory. Fellow band members Tim Butler (bass), Rich Good (guitar), Mars Williams (saxophone), Amanda Kramer (keyboards), and Paul Garisto (drums) also owned the stage as rockstars should. The Royal Oak festival crowd was enthusiastic about the performance due to the high-energy and polished sound of The Psychedelic Furs. The group is…

Identity Festival Detroit 8/12/2011 (Photos and Review)
This year, the newly formed Identity festival came to DTE Energy Music Energy Theatre. Detroit was the second stop on the first ever touring electronic-music festival that introduces itself as a “sensory extravaganza” that possesses “unparalleled production.” They did not disappoint! Throughout all stops of the tour, the festival is simultaneously running three stages: Rockstar Energy Drink’s Dim Mak Festival Stage, the Advent Stage, and the Skullcandy Main Stage. I was impressed that even though Detroit was only the second stop on the tour, the timeline of all stages was accurate and all performances flowed smoothly. Our first stop was to the Rockstar stage to check out the fantastic electropop duo, Holy…
