Metal Leaves Studio

Black cards, black cars, all black everything.

Didn't I say we could be in 'Kansas,' by the time the snow begins to thaw... turned out to be true.

Winter is coming to an official end. Caught Jack Frost collecting the remainder of his metallic snowflakes, which will be chillin' in storage until Old Man Winter blows through town again.

RIP BIG.

Honey-
We could be in Kansas, by the time the snow begins to thaw...

The Hamtramck Music Blowout is set to Explode! tonight. Events kick off at The Majestic Theatre in Detroit. This year's event will feature over two hundred bands, fifteen venues, spanning across four days- with Hamtramck as the backdrop.

This year's festival focuses on variety.  The event's promoter said that he wanted the theme to be musical integration. People can check out one set from Millions of Brazilians, then slide over to The Belmont to catch Friendly Foes. This makes perfect sense for many reasons.

It is all going down in one of Detroit's most ethnically diverse neighborhoods. A plethora of music venues reside in this two square miles town. Hamtramck holds the honor of being the country's leading Rock & Roll cities, [it came in at #2] due in large part to the festival itself. 

Detroit embraces the wide range of musical styles and genres available to us that other cities may lack. There is no shortage of pride to be found within the Detroit audience. It disguises itself as furious sweat, spilling off the crowd, it leaps off their logo t-shirts, and its glory is screamed onstage by the musicians themselves.

March is definitely entering like a Lamb.

The sparkling snow continues to fall today. This has been The Best Winter- EVER!  Ice skating, sledding, and snowball fights have all surfaced this year. Snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing in the Poconos added to the mix. And there were many Winter Wonderland walks through the forest and both cities. [freewheelin' style] You should see what is planned for next year!
