Un-retouched African Safari Archive (Travel Photos from the 1990’s)
My Mom took these photos on an African safari in the 80’s so I thought it would be interesting to post them. Note that they are photos of a photo and not retouched!

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…

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

Movement Weekend 2015 Photos
By Alexis Simpson We started our Movement weekend off at the new Populux bar which used to be the Magic Stick. The roster of Acquaviva, Bell and Pullen was solid so we figured we would get the party kicked off early since since Movement didin’t officially start until Saturday. John Acquaviva Daniel Bell Stacey Pullen (official page) When I first found out that the Magic Stick was closing, at first I didn’t dwell on the fact that I had many great memories from that place. When checking out Populux for the first time, those memories surprisingly came flooding back. The staircase where I shot shows from like the Death Grips…
