The Ex and Shellac Were Here

We totally forgot to mention it, but two citizens of Little Detroit headed out a few weeks ago to hear legendary Dutch post-punks The Ex and Chicago noise legends Shellac burn a few minds.

Lincoln Hall, the venue, is now selling a poster from the show:
Pretty sweet graphics, eh?

Yeah, yeah, we'lltry and post some audio...

Black Lips Were Here

Atlanta's best garage rock band, The Black Lips, played last Thursday night at the Logan Square Auditorium, the largest venue within walking distance of Little Detroit. However, only 2.5 citizens were able to attend, as most of them were saving their money, ears, and livers for the High on Fire show the following night.

Luckily for Black Lips, several dozen kids piled onto the stage at a couple points throughout the show so they didn't miss us so much.




We recorded this show, but since we're already about five shows beyond in breaking down digital tracks, don't hold your breath.

The ChristMisfits In Chicago

Back in December, some natural-born and naturalized citizens of Little Detroit took their music - Mifists tunes reconfigured for the holiday season, as you might expect - to the people. It was a rousing success.

There was a preliminary plan to get ourselves ejected from this bar following the band, so we decided to start throwing down the gauntlet mid-set with some dives off the piano at stage left.

Good view of the costumes. Helps when one of the band members is a costume designer for films.
Kicking out the jams.

Our effort to get kicked out continues! Now we have added crowd-surfing. Pint glasses are also being smashed all over the place.

I mean, fuck, when Santa get involved, you know that shit was real.

In the end, our efforts to get ourselves permanently banned from the bar came full circle, and instead the band was invited back for a ChristMisfits in July performance. Because we we're so much fun.
