There Four gig you like to know

I know the last post was long with all the upcoming gig coming to detroit
but i decied to take a look at four gigs that is coming up to keep on the look out

The Raconteurs

The Frist gig that coming up shock the most hard core after thinking he would never do a show in the Detroit area aging after he move out of the area, but this was a shocker, playing at the Fillmore Detroit on June 7th and 8th, The Raconteurs will make it 1st ever gig to the detroit metro area.

it will also the First Detroit gig for any band that is fronted by Jack White since 2005 where he and meg play the masonic temple theater with the white stirpes, but since jack left Detroit he have not play Detroit metro area.

The White stirpes did not played in Detroit during there last tour and stop touring after meg acute anxiety problems during there "Icky Thump", and his other band "The Raconteurs" did played a show in 2006 at the michigan Theater in Ann Arbor

So have Jack and Company ease up on the detroit music fans after his bitter break away from the detroit music scene and will the music fans in the city forgive jack.
will see.

There 1st show on June 7th is already sold out, but there is tickets for is second show it will cost $32.50.

there will be six band play on the bill with the main headliners the one and only Electric Six, also playing on the gig will the Meatmen, SSM, Johnny Headband, Carjack and Deastro and there will be giveaways and silent auctions.

The Cover is $15 dollars and all of the process goes to help pay the mecical bill of our dear friend of the Detroit Rock Scene Laura Rock, On April 1st Laura was admitted to the hospital when her liver gave out, where were not sure if Laura would survied but five days laters she got a liver transplanted.

she is doing well, and her recoverd will take a long time and the worst part about it was she did not have any health insurance what so ever so the bill will be high so friends of the detroit rock scene are pulling together to off set the cost and this benfit will help

If you want help got to the crofoot tonight at 1 S. Sawing, you will have fun and help out a good friend of Detroit rock and roll
