Other Local Bands

If you enjoy live music, and your lucky enough to be in the Detroit metro area, then a must see is the Killer Flamingos a local Detroit area band.

Both the band and club have a relaxed atmosphere which is why the music always sounds so good.

Another must see band, is Fifty Amp Fuse they do a regular gigs all over the metro Detroit area, and are by far the best cover band I have seen.

Also a Downriver favorite and a personal favorite of ours is Blackberry Brandy.

All of these bands were "discovered" by us at a local Allen Park, MI club called Simons. A long, long time ago...
