This time around, I’m spanning the rock spectrum, a little melodic death metal to Christian rock, so here we go. Recently, I took my 8-year old son Cameron to see his first concert. His favorite band is Skillet and they were playing the new Lucas County Arena in Toledo along with Hall of Heroes and [...]

This weekend, I set out in search of musicenrichednightlife, throughout the famously declared “east side”. I grew up Downriver and there is a huge pool of local talented musicians there. I was one of them for a long time. Currently, living on the east side,I will be seeking bands and bars to cover for articles. I [...]

Critical Bill.
Anyone remotely close to the Detroit music scene has heard of the east side’s behemoth of badassness CRITICAL BILL. Over the last 8 years, these do it yourself morphers of hip hop and rock, have established themselves as serious players in not only the Detroit music scene but nationally as well.

somehow I’m not really there. This can’t possibly be happening, I tell myself. It’s too good to [...]

With their latest single “Rocket Skates” tearing up the airwaves, fans of the Deftones have a little taste of what to expect from the band’s upcoming 6th studio album Diamond Eyes (Release date May 18). Detroit Live recently had the chance to talk with DJ Frank Delgado and get the lowdown on the Deftones.
DL: Hey [...]

What has been going on over the course of the last two years has been nothing short of amazing. There are people working on the east side of the region, the west side of the region and downriver that have all been helping play a pivotal role in what I think is the re-birth of [...]

For close to 10 years, Brendan “Slim” MacDonald has been shredding his guitar all over stages across the U.S. Hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts, Slim and the band he co-founded with drummer Mark Castillo, “Bury Your Dead”, have been relentlessly making a name for themselves. Through MANY lineup changes, van accidents, and the wear and tear [...]
