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. Genre: Rock Members:Scott Avett – Vocals, Banjo, Kick Drum Seth Avett – Vocals, Guitar, High-Hat Bob Crawford – Vocals, Bass Joe Kwon –…

Ophidian Trek 2012: Baroness and Meshuggah @ St Andrew’s Hall 5/16/12 (Concert Review & Photos)
Meshuggah showed Detroit why they have been selling out shows for the Ophidian Trek 2012 tour with their gloriously heavy sound. We are keen on Meshuggah, but last Wednesday night was all about Baroness. We had heard a big buzz about the group, and made it a priority to check them out. Baroness took the stage with an intense energy that matched the crowd’s eagerness to rock. The group is touring in preparation for the release of their new album that comes out July 17. In fact, Singer John Baizley creates the artwork for all the Baroness albums. Baroness has received rave reviews from the toughest of music critics, and their Detroit performance reinforced…

RAMMSTEIN SETS THE PALACE ON FIRE 5/6/12 (Concert Review & Photos)
Rammstein (translates into “Ramming Stone”) was formed in 1994, originating in Berlin, Germany. Their music has been described as industrial metal and the majority of their songs are still performed in German. They have sold over 15 million records worldwide and Rammstein still consists of all the original band members. The bands live performances are infamous for their pyrotechnic theatrics, setting almost the entire stage ablaze along with each other on occasion. The band members have previously stated in other interviews that the reason behind putting on such a huge stage performance is due to the fact that the majority of their fans cannot understand the lyrics. So they felt the need…

Hailing from Los Angeles, California and reminiscent of the 80’s hair bands like the early years of Motley Crue and Poison, Steel Panther puts on a great performance. With their flamboyant personas, sequined spandex, big hair and lots of make up these guys are here to entertain and have a blast…

Fun. @ St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit! 4/15/12 (Concert Review & Photos)
Members: Nate Ruess, Jack Antonoff, Andrew Dost http://www.ournameisfun.com http://www.store.ournameisfun.com http://www.myspace.com/fun http://www.twitter.com/ournameisfun http://www.bebo.com/ournameisfun Someday Detroiters will think back to Fun’s sold-out performance at St. Andrew’s Hall and remember when they got to see the band perform at such an intimate venue. Andrew Dost is originally from Traverse City, MI which made this show a family affair. Parents and other relatives of the band members were at the show in support of Fun’s success. This brought extra warmth and personality to the performance. Nate Ruess amusingly told the crowd that even though he was born in Phoenix, he didn’t choose that, and he would have chosen Detroit and “Detroit’s soul” is given the opportunity.…
