I Command It!

Tomorrow is Saturday night. This is what's happening: The Sights and the Hentchmen are playing at the Lager House. If you're familiar with the Lager House, you know how uncomfortable that show will be. Make sure you pre-party! The Detroit City Council are playing the Magic Stick. Seriously, they're starting to sound like early Funkadelic, before every song sounded the same. That show won't be as crowded, but it will still be a good time - without a doubt. The big event of the night will be this: The Rock n Roll art show at C-Pop. These are the artists represented at this show: Iggy Pop, Ron and Scott Asheton (3/4 of the Stooges), Lou Reed, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon (half of Sonic Youth), Mark Arminski (if you've ever seen a reallllly cool tall narrow artistic poster for a rock show around town, it's probably from him), Joey and Dee Dee Ramone, and Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo singer), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Kembra Pfahler (Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black), King Buzzo (Melvins), and photos from Bob Gruen and Leni Sinclair (most of her stuff features the MC5). Iggy and the Stooges are the only confirmed artists who will be on hand, but you never know who else will show up. The show has been written up in Real Detroit, Metro Times, MOJO (UK), Penthouse, SPIN, and Juxtapoz. It will be big. The show is open to the public at 8pm Saturday. You should go there. Oh, by the way, C-Pop's located in the same block as the Majestic Cafe. You really should go there Saturday, because not only is the Detroit City Council playing, and the rock n roll art show opening, but I'm also DJing in the Garden Bowl all night!
