WHY ASK THE WIND
Keeping right along with our Detroit theme, let’s talk about OBN III‘s. Yeah, yeah…we know they’re from Austin, but ask us what band is doing the best MC5/Stooges sound right now.

LET THEM EAT CAKE
How could you not love Urinal Cake Records? In the last few years, they haveve done as good a job as anyone in blasting the current sounds of Detroit out to the rest of the country [hello Protomartyr, Growwing Pains, Terrible Twos, Feelings, etc], and best of all, they do it with STYLE and CLASS….

This one’s starting off slow, but we’ll hit the ground running on Thursday with Juiceboxxx at the End and Lubber Boy at Betty’s. We’ll be back at the End on Friday for Ex-Cult, Weekend Babes, Slammers, and Waxed, and then Saturday will finally bring us PUJOL SUCKS III at the East Room featuring sets from PUJOL,…
