SUICIDE MACHINES CELEBRATE 20 YEARS OF โ€œWAR PROFITEERING IS KILLING US ALLโ€ AT SMALLโ€™S

SUICIDE MACHINES @ SMALLS TAKEN BY SHERBURT


Suicide Machines are THE punk band from Detroit. Almost everyone here who is into this shit will say the same thing. I have seen them so many times, I honestly have lost count. If you add in their other projects, it is well over 100 shows for me. 2 years ago, I was lucky enough to photograph them going b2b with Negative Approach in the same bar 2 nights in a row. Although I tried to do both nights, it did not work out for me! I was still able to catch the first show on Friday with openers Detroit 442. The drummer for that band is out of fucking control. Anyway, Suicide Machines played โ€œWar Profiteering Is Killing Us Allโ€ in full for the 20th anniversary of the record. Seeing them at Smallโ€™s is by far my favorite place to see them. As much as I love the chaos of pop-up shows at the Garden Bowl or Black Xmas gigs, festival appearances, shows at the Trumbullplexโ€ฆ Smallโ€™s is an environment unmatched anywhere else in the city. That is the doing of Mike and his staff and crew. This is why I say Smallโ€™s is the best bar on the planet, and Iโ€™m not the only one who feels this way. People from all over the country make the pilgrimage to see Suicide Machines play in that room specifically. Letโ€™s get to the photos!

Thanks for letting me come out and end my much-needed hiatus at the best bar on Earth. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ–ค See y'all at the Fillmore in December!?!
