Black Label Society @ The Royal Oak Music Theatre (Photos)
By Alexis Simpson The scent of testosterone and beer overtook the Royal Oak Music Theatre when Black Label Society, Hatebreed, and Butcher Babies came to town for a sold-out show. Zakk Wylde held court as a Rock God while bassist John DeServio charmed the crowd with his love of performing.

By Alexis Simpson Slipknot has been a long time favorite, and we are thrilled with their acclaimed new album and freaky videos.

They played with a whole slew of other bands this weekend at the Royal Oak Music Theatre, but we only had eyes for BVB. They released their fourth studio new album “Black Veil Brides IV” just last month, and are already touring to promote their new music. BVB has been working…

Charlie XCX @ Saint Andrew’s Hall (Review, Setlist & Photos)
By Alexis Simpson Charlie XCX performed at Detroit’s Saint Andrew’s Hall joined by lady singers Femme and Elliphant as opening acts. We looked forward to all acts since these overseas ladies may not come into town too often due to distance. Charlie XCX is the pen behind both Icona’s Pop’s “I Love It” and Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy.” Obviously Charlie is crafty enough to write worldwide hits, but upon seeing her perform, she’s a star onstage as well. Her presence was beguiling, and she wore one of the best stage outfits we’ve seen in awhile-a silky blue negligee dress under a fuzzy pink coat. She also earned bonus points for her female band. “Boom…

Big Freedia @ The Loving Touch (Photos & Review)
By Alexis Simpson We first saw Big Freedia perform last year at The Crofoot and loved it. She has a beautiful spirit that is showcased on her TV show “Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce.” It was a treat to see her in a small venue, because Freedia and her dancers bring out a lot of enthusiasm in the crowd. Big Freedia is performing at Voodoo Fest in her hometown, New Orleans, in a few weeks. Voodoo Fest is one the best festival I’ve been to, but we are missing it this year, so whoever gets to see Big Freedia at Voodoo is in for a treat! The pictures from the show…

An Interview with Jessica Hernandez of Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas!
By Alexis Simpson We attended Riot Fest in Chicago last month, and were excited to see that Jessica Hernandez was performing there. We have seen her perform many times in Detroit, once in Orlando, and now Chicago. Jessica is a favorite of mine and one of the few artists I listen to week after week. She’s soulful, bohemian, and has a superb voice. I want everybody to know about her! Her album “Secret Evil” just came out, and she is currently on tour with St. Paul and The Broken Bones. We got the chance to do a quick Q & A with her to catch up. Also, at the end of the…
