Post-Punk legends Cold Cave closed out their tour in Detroit, Michigan, a couple of weekends ago, and I was able to drop in from a busy schedule and snag their set. It almost didn’t work out, but we made it happen on my end, and I’m so glad it worked.

After a truly insane night at the Russell with Drain, No Pressure, Haywire, Secret World, and Cyadine, I didn’t even know if I had it in me to do this one. I was so whooped. I needed this weekend to whip me back into big show shape before the summer fests and tons of local shows to get swirly at.

Guilt Trip and Malevolence started their co-headliner tour at the infamous Shelter in Detroit, MI. Direct support for the tour is Nashville’s Chamber, and for the opening slot, Detroit Beatdown Hardcore Champions D-Bloc. I couldn’t get out of the house until after the doors opened, so I missed my friends in D-Bloc ripping the venue apart.

Hardcore heavyweight dominators Sunami are winding down their co-headlining tour with Scowl and made a late tour stop at Detroit's Majestic complex. Originally slated for the Majestic Theatre, the show was moved last minute to the Magic Stick. The room was packed to the gills. Smart move to move from a barrier with security catching crowd surfers to a no barricade show with stage diving.

This was a fun night. 5 bands. Show over before 10 pm. Stoned on the couch in Westland by 11. Hey, well, at least no one broke the water main. Kinda weird to still have the same energy after doing that though right? Anyway, all the bands ripped. Stoked for what's coming down the pipe.
