For this time around, I want to recount and offer my thoughts on all the live shows that I have attended since moving to Detroit. Hopefully, it may convince you to attend one too!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Explosions in the Sky\n
      \n
    1. For those of you unfamiliar (most) this Explosions in the Sky is an electronic alternative instrumental-only band that produces huge atmospheric sounds in compositions that you almost certainly aren’t ready for. This concert was a last minute decision, and not one I will soon forget. Venue was not ideal, as the Masonic Temple upstairs is pretty hard to maneuver. Overall: 7.3\/10<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Crystal Castles\n
        \n
      1. If you don’t listen to Crystal Castles yet, you need to. If Alice Glass\/Robert Smith would’ve been there, it would’ve boosted this show to a solid A+. Overall: 8.9\/10<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Die Antwoord\n
          \n
        1. Another last minute decision, Die Antwoord was another GREAT show, they really know how to play the crowd, and it was a true performance. For those who are unfamiliar, Die Antwoord is a South African alternative hip-hop group who has a few songs produced by Diplo. Overall: 7\/10<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        2. Haute to Death\n
            \n
          1. This one is a nod to my favorite place in Detroit to go out – Temple Bar – basically if Haute to Death is DJ’ing Temple Bar isn’t an option, it’s the only option. Overall: 9\/10<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          2. Danny Brown\n
              \n
            1. While I’m a big fan, the Detroit native didn’t show up for his hometown the way I would’ve hoped. Would I go again? Yes. But I would certainly be doing my homework first. Overall: 6.5\/10<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Whether you know the artist or not, “It’s like pizza, baby. It’s good no matter what, there’s music in the air”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
