Jamaican Queens @ a Loft Party! (Photos)
By Alexis Simpson Last Saturday there were a lot of great local bands playing in Detroit, but upon learning that Jamaican Queens were playing a private party, we knew that would be something we had to document. This trio is our current reigning favorite Detroit band and a sweaty 500º loft party somehow added to their ambiance.

Their next performance in Michigan is at Pontiac’s Crofoot with Big Freedia and Tunde Olaniran. We plan on attending to review the show and take photos. Can’t wait! Also, put March 5th on your calendar, because that’s the day Jamaican Queens release their LP Wormfood.
