The Metro Times Hamtramck Bowout 12 - Day Three

Last Night it was day Three of the Metro Times Hamtramck blowout and last night was a real great night for local music because it was a oh so good day with temp near the mid 60's, it would be a enjoyable night for going up and down around the hamtramck area.

There would no considering about bundle up for cold weather, it was just cool to walk to one gig to the Next gig or take the shuttle bus which is well begin run this year including the Night Move Bus which is a difference experience because it a green bus and instead of the crappy music from a radio station there was local music pump in the bus and it was all local.

not only that there was some good Vittuam Water on the front of the bus which was good for those of you tried after a full show of taking a rest from all that walking, Oh despise report that was put on the web, No i don't need a Segway thanks you very much, I am fine.

The Best part of the blowout is for new place to offer discount for the blowout and the Towbriged House of Coffee offer a discount and add a quite from a popular you tube clip of some hot head cable host to tell everybody "WILL DO IT LIVE".

After a few days of teasing to the Blog think he would show up as me[which is not true] i did see former MT and current freelance writer Johnny Loftus show up at the K and C checking out the blowout, and it look like he is doing well.

Last night was pretty full all over the place by the 11 PM some of the placed i visit it was near or almost full house when i went to the "Atlas Bar" it was full for four hours Friend, i spend the 1st ten minutes with MT Editor W. Kim Hairon until i found a spot where some of my friends was sitting, that how crowed it was.

and one more note some of the bands play much, much early, i was going to see Elle and the fonts they was going to play at 9:40 PM but play at the same time as the blue flowers, and miss Kelly jean clawell because she play early as well not only that Fred Thomas [of SLGTM fame]and Aran Ruth switch time slot so when they say line up subject to change, think it will change at the last mintue.

as for the music highlights the K of C roof blow off with the sounds of the dirtbombs which have a great line-up these days with the addition of Zachary Weedon of the readies which make a prefit match for Ko demon fuzz playing guitar, the K of C Main Hall was total full expect for the back which is amazing despite the bad sound.

also ripping the blowout was "The Terrible Twos" who punk rock was awesome and blew everybody ears at the blow out.

also good was Tone & Niche which there music is good live you always like good band with string in it and they was good.

also good and fun was four hours friends it great to see a good band who add country and rock together and not only that the girl in the band [who is the girlfriend of the lead singer] look pretty cool.

also Great and cool and also seeing them for the first time since Changing there band name from Ether Aura was "The Blueflowers" which was real cool to see the band, i had to miss them two weeks ago because i when to the back in spades show, but they sound good and at the same time look like a real pretty band may be it the addition of pretty cool base player.

Now i arrived at the carbon bar to see "Jason Croff Family Band" they was going to go on at about 12:20 AM, but end it up going on 12:40 AM i did not stick around because i took a shuttle to the Knight of Columbus to catch the dirtbombs to round up the night.

Well Tonight is the last night of the blowout and yes the blowout least fave friend "Bad Weather" will arrived, but it will not be cold and snow as in years past but it will be cold and rainy with a little bit of thunder and no it not going to be the NBA Team from OKC.

but you stay dry for THE SWAMP SISTERS, FRIENDLY FOES, SATORI CIRCUS, THE DETROIT COBRAS, CARJACK and a lot,lot more and after the Next blowout will be in 12 months from now.

Stay Safe and stay Dry.

The Metro Times Hamtramck Bowout 12 - Day Two

It was Day two of the Hamtramck blowout

after getting wipe out after day one and writing my own account of day one and checking for photo and video of Day one, it good to know that the blow out was in my hometown for the next three nights.

the best part about this that i could goes out in my back year to see some great local bands.

and Since Thursday is a Work day this year the promoter push back the start times for Thursday about a Full hour and they speard the set times meaning the first band stated between 8-9 PM, this is good in past year where they all start at the same time and you have to split time two bands.

Not only that the weather which in past years have been snowy and cold with the temps on some years at about 10 with the wind chill at about -2, well yesterday i was in the low 50 with the same for tonight help with the hi at 64 and nice.

But it going to rain on Saturday, but it will rain early so i will be no problem, i Hope.

it was kind of quite no drama, expect for one drunk lady who was upset because she did not know there will be cover for the next three night for the right to get wasted too much.

Among the music highlight from Night two well it was all consertaed the kinght of Columbus hall in the city West Central side highlight by last year buzz band "The Silent years" but this was not your usual Silent years show it was a show with the five core member( Josh Epstein, Mike Majewski,Cassandra Verras,Ryan Clancy,and
Fabian Halabou) but have a hours section and not only that a Choir help out with some viocal of the songs and they was all dress up in there warm Sngglie

Lead singer Joshua Epstein did dress his best dressing in the spirit of Flaming Lips Frontman Wayne Corin dress up in a blow tie and waring a car bletbuckle, it have the crowd dancing and even i Dance a little bit with Carey Gustafson which was great.

also great last night and back up the buzz from begin on the cover of last week Detroit News My Time section now i only listen to about six or seven songs before i when to see "the decks" at the "PayChecks" but this band is real wonderful to see live and the frontman Randy Chabot is pure Genies Thur and Thur and make all Thor UK Band To Shame.

also fun last night was Marco Polio and the New Vaccines and the frontman Steve was total all over the place running around singing going nuts and in one point near the end of the set was in the hallway ask some the crowd to say some thing in the wireless mic which too some total unperpair.

Also great last night was over at the Trowbride House of Coffee where i saw the Lansing beat and tune of Public Pubes which was fun to see as they did it off the floor of stage one at the THC.

also good last night was was Sikik Nation which was good last night also got a CD for my show on WHFR-FM (Wednesdays from noon-2PM) they was good.

also playing who i saw last night was The Darts, [OK], Darling Implrial, [Really good and have not seen them in a long time], The Word Play, [Good], and the Fore-mention The Decks,[who was great].

And one more thing to wrap up the night a band that Opened up the last time Ra Ra Roit the last time they was hear Blase Splee was handing out there four songs EP of a album there making and will be out in June i listen to it over the weekend and may play it on my Wednesday WHFR Show.

Two Days Down, Just two More to go and since this is the weekend the first gig beging at there regual times with the 1st set going between 9-10 PM, Bands tonight GREAT LAKES MYTH SOCIETY, FOUR-HOUR FRIENDS,JASON CROFF FAMILY BAND,RACHEL AND JUNK, I, CRIME, TONE & NICHE, ELLE AND THE FONTS, TERRIBLE TWOS, THE DIRTBOMBS,LEE MARVIN COMPUTER ARM, CITY CENTER (Fred Thomas of SLGTM),ARAN RUTH, KELLY JEAN CALDWELL, BROADZILLA, VOLEBEATS, SCARLET OAKS, THE BLUEFLOWERS, DUTCH PINK, JEHOVAH'S WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM, WOODMAN, THE GRANDE NATIONALS, THE HIGH STRUNG, MADAME XD, and AUDRA KUBAT.

The Metro Times Hamtramck Bowout 12 - Day One

Well Last Night was the first day of the 12th annuls mega showcase of local music in the city which is called the hamtramck blowout, the turn out was real good with most of it coming with the early start time.

with me i was a little bit later to the show with bus problem [Mostly waiting for the bus], i did arrived at about 8:45 PM and then there was a hic-up getting my press pass, i did get my wristband but the combination of getting there and the waiting for the band led me to my the first band on the night "Electric Fire Babies" i got up to the stick just when there was ending.

I did see a lot of old friends at the blow out last night some who i have not seen in a long time like new WDET Weekend music host Ann Delise, to fame Entertainment attorney Howard Hertz, and alot of friend who i have seen a lot and some people i who know but have not seen in a long i total forget there name, Which in my bad.

There was a lot of of people one friend notice with Video Cameras mostly with for there blog mostly for you tube and mostly for the hell of it, oh yes there was you photo people and in the age of twitter Cell phones texting to there twitter site, that some thing to think of Next year.

Among the music highlights yesterday was you got it "the meatmen" the punk band who know how to crated a following with there lead singer Tesco Vee dress for the show in out fit design by Muffy Karona, the band did entertain and offend at the same time and not only that the music was not that bad but it was true punk rock.

Also i like "The Octopus" feather former member of the "Deadstring Brothers" Masha Marjieh i meet her at the Eagles of Death Metal show a few weeks ago but seeing her on stage i can say man she can sing and still look cool after the show she is my new fave muse at the moment.

Also good last night was the "The Gepetto Files" now i have seen it before years back but this time have hacking band and i was a crazy mix a puppet show with with a live band but i was pulled off.

also good last night was silverghost who sound so great with with a good film backdrop but i heard only five song because i forgot Outrageous Cherry was playing at the same time at the Majestic so i went there and they was OK last night, also great was Child bite, The Wrong Numbers and hip-hop/ R and B act "Fluent" Who was in the Metroitmes blowout cover.

after a long night for me, night two in hamtown is just getting started but it will now be up I-75.
