Insane Clown Posse, Potluck, Kung Fu Vampire @ Emerald Theatre (Review & Photos)
Last Saturday night at Emerald Theatre in Mt. Clemens, MI., Insane Clown Posse put on an impromptu show reminiscent of the jokers cards era due to the stripped down lighting and smaller stage. The simplicity of the venue brought the focus to the music in a favorable way. Metro Detroiters and even Juggalos from out of state spent their Saturday night playing around in Faygo as they listened to ICP’s song selections for the night. Saturday’s Juggalo party was the perfect summer family reunion before the Psychopathic family and Juggalos everywhere reunite for the 13th Gathering of the Juggalos in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois from August 8th thru the 12th. Also in…

Counting Crows @ Meadowbrook 6/22/12 (Photos, Review, & Setlist)
There is just something about Counting Crows that turns me into a sap. I bought August and Everything After when I was in high school. Back then CD’s were often purchased on a whim or because the album artwork looked interesting. I fancied myself pretty cool for “discovering” the band, and when I later overheard some guy in my Spanish class talking about their new album, I developed an instant crush. Ironically, five years later we ended up disastrously dating. Around that same time, my childhood friend and I headed off to our era’s Woodstock. Counting Crows was our favorite performance of the festival because despite the ridiculous temperatures and havoc of the…

Club Paradise Tour: Drake @ DTE Energy Music Theatre 5/30/12 (Concert Review & Photos)
Metro Detroit’s DTE Theatre could not have fit one more Drake fan into the packed venue for Drake’s sold-out Club Paradise Tour. Detroit embraced the club theme as women tottered around in 5-inch heels and tight dresses, and the men sported their sharpest tees and sneakers. Alcohol instigated a full-on dance party and sly fans managed to sneak in enough cannabis for all the smokers. The club atmosphere was achieved as Drake was able to pull off performing and connecting with his audience as if everybody was inside a much smaller venue. Drake communicated a lot with his fans throughout the night and squeezed in as many of his hits…

Gogol Bordello @The Fillmore Theatre 5/26/12 (Photos, Concert Review, & Setlist)
The Gogol Bordello concert drew in all sorts of people to their Detroit show-motorcycle mamas, long-haired vagabonds, punk rockers, yups, harlots, drunkards, and hiphoppers. The spirit of Gogol Bordello rages on, as the eclectic group of fun-timers whooped it up and showed Detroit their kind of party. Show attendees raved about the energy, joy, and pure originality of Gogol Bordello. After the show, members of GB were seen enjoying food at local favorite, Bucharest Grill. Roni Size opened for Gogol Bordello and was later seen that evening at Detroit’s techno festival.

The Avett Brothers @ Fillmore Detroit 5/18/12 (Concert Review, Setlist & Photos)
We first saw The Avett Brothers live at Orlando Calling last year (see photos here) and unanimously declared that they were one of the best performances of 2011. It was no surprise that they sold out Detroit’s Filmore last Friday. They had no opener and treated Detroit to a two-hour long set. Alcohol was flowing which helped the crowd sing and dance enthusiastically to every song. The Avett Brothers are pros at blending together an eclectic blend of music and delivering it live with unabashed pure joy.
