Duuuude, I would go to pretty much every gig at this place…if it wasn’t in Detroit. As it stands, I was in town to see Church of Misery, a band that would have played Canada a few years ago, were it not for a U.S. government shutdown.
Italian progressive sludge/doom outfit Ufomammut has been around for 20 years now…and until last night, I had only seen ’em once, back in 2015.
Uncle Acid put on a pretty solid set focused on their most recent record, Wasteland. They also made full use of the former movie theatre’s setup, with a full video backdrop throughout their set…
