I have been attending the MetroTimes Blowout since I was a wee (underage) lass. In fact, one of my former bands, The Anarchestra, played at Motor one year. I remember bringing a vintage drum machine, hand percussion, the spring reverb guitar amp my Grandpa gave me and some sheets of plastic that made springy, thunderous noises.
This is year number 13 for the Blowout. It would be nice if someone could coordinate some other fest-style events in Hamtramck, but during the summer so that it would be ideal weather for biking from venue to venue. I'd like to see more events during the day. I'm talking an all ages event at a coffeehouse (artists giving lessons or workshops for the younger generations) or ambient noise brunch where you might chill and read a book...anyway.
We went out last night to see a few bands at Painted Lady, Baker Streetcar and Gates of Columbus Hall. I wasn't terribly thrilled with the lineup (I'm getting old and jaded) but I saw two bands that I really liked. Bloodbird and Black Lodge, I'm talking to you. You made me dance.
