 Last Saturday a group of some of Detroit's most talented local acts assembled, surprisingly, at T.N.T.'s bar in Clinton Township (about 30 minutes west of Troy/Rochester). Detroit Chic was on scene to cover Spades Alone, Dryvel, CBJ, and Projekt Gift in their romp through an energetic night of music. The bands each showcased unique talent and promise and did not disappoint.
The show, sadly, was the farewell show for Oxford rockers Spades Alone, who are relocating to Las Vegas, hoping to get a break in the Vegas/California area. While it will be sad to see them go, it was great to get a chance to see them put on one more dynamic show, reminding those who came of how they earned the label of one of Detroit's hottest up and coming acts. The other bands-- Dryvel, CBJ, and Projekt Gift-- were a treat as well, and really rose to the occasion. Truly, it was a night of outstanding local rock, enough to make Detroit Chic proud!

 On the first Friday night of April, the basement of 902 Davis St. was packed with dozens of music fans. Some, like us at Detroit Chic had travelled from far away. Others were locals, soaking in the music. Regardless of where you were from, though, soon everyone shared the commonality of being blown away by a night of energized rock.
The basement show featured only one local Kalamazoo band, this time-- the headlining act, The Reptilian. Victor! Fixed the Sund, though was from Grand Rapids, so still a Michigan band. Also featured was Native, a band from Valpo in Indiana, which formed from former members of Effect Affect and Oh London, and Civil Hands, the opening act from Columbus, Indiana. Each band played a unique set, but the overall feeling for the evening was a progressive ambient hardcore feel, which at times featured shades of punk, pop rock, or heavier metal. Having been witness to the show and been moved by the music, one thing seems clear-- the verdict is back and the Kalamazoo scene certainly seems strong.
