the thing about detroit....

tonight, in cleveland, i saw THE HIGH STRUNG
- a GREAT young band from detroit. they've got a lot of enery and play awesome, catchy rock songs - they have rough edges but they don't sound dirty. they sound vintage but not dated. i love them! tonight, they debuted stage clothes - white shirts and white jeans, each with navy blue stars down each side of the pants leg and the sleeves. would look FAB on tv. but they're not the hives, ok? they are THE REAL THING

the thing about detroit --- the media and hipsters glommed onto detroit music in the same way that they did with seattle 10 years ago. soon, all these poor rockers - with a little notoriety but not any more money than they started with - will fade out of the media like yesterday's trends and that makes me feel pretty bad..
i will keep making them lunch....although jann wenner should pay for it!
