Saturday brings 2 uniquely similar and beautiful bands to Pike Room when Purity Ring and Blue Hawaii take to the stage. Let's start with what the bands share in common: both are from Canada and are young male-female duos. Both also have female vocalists with vocals that soar and haunt.Purity Ring from Edmonton is Megan and Corin's sticky, synth band that take dream pop and drop it in a shaker with rattles and pops. What pours out is emotional pop on a tight-rope that is balanced by Megan's angelic vocals. Their latest release is the Soulja...

Saturday, April 27th, 2013Loretta Lucas didn't impress me at Thursday's preview, but it was the first act of the night, and no one else was playing. The 9:00 performance didn't start until 9:30, even though everything was set up by about 9:15. I listened to just one song, and even though I was pleasant surprised at how much I liked it, I was too annoyed to stick around.On to the New Dodge Lounge for Blair Alise and the Bombshells. Also...
Wild Bill Ketelhut provides the "blog" to this anti-blogWild At Heart It has been a rough weekend and today did not get any better. Those who have been reading my web posts have heard that I have been taking care of my mom who has been sick and she took a turn for the worst yesterday. I spent 10 hours at the hospital yesterday and left work early today to talk to a myriad of doctors. It looks like my mom has about a 5% chance of living thru the...
When Detroit rockers Dead in 5 planned their CD release party for Saturday May 4 at The Token Lounge, the group was confident their six song debut EP would be finished in plenty of time for the celebration. But just short of their manufacturing deadline, the band’s producer, Andy Patalan (owner of The Loft Studios in Saline and guitarist for Platinum hit-makers Sponge), gave them a call. “Something wasn’t right,” explains Dead...

There's a certain anticipation before seeing Morris Day and the Time, even though you know exactly what you're about to see. There are concerts and there are shows, and Morris Day always puts on a show. A non-stop, over-the-top medley of classic uptown soul hits. On Thursday night, the crowd was dressed to impress inside Motor Casino's Sound Board theater, (including local celebrities like a dapper Tommy "Hitman" Hearns) and ready get down with it....

April 26th, 2013, in Hamtramck.First band of the night, anywhere, was Hunters from New York at the PNA Lounge (not Rugrats from Tallahasee, as some were led to believe). I know that the Blowout is supposed to be all local acts, and I'm a traitor for saying this, but they were the best performance of the night. I wouldn't call the music shoegaze, but these guys were staring down at their shoes most of the time. Maybe it's a tribute thing. I showed...

Forging his skills since the age of 12 in his native Sweden, Yngwie has been influenced by such greats as Niccolò Paganini and Ritchie Blackmore, which shine through in his complex and layered masterpieces of music that...

Opening night for the Blowout wasn't a kickoff so much as a preview of what's to come. Most of the bands being "previewed" are scheduled for the Ferndale weekend, not the Hamtramck one. The real theme for the night was finding out how many assholes can stand in place on the stairway to the Magic Stick and block all foot traffic.The first several hours I was there was a bust. I expected to like the performance from Loretta Lucas, since I always liked...
