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.

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…
