Avi Buffalo's Two Night Debut in Royal Oak

Avi Buffalo makes their two night debut in the Detroit area open for Modest Mouse.

The tales of high school aged kids daydreaming in class about playing music for a living doesn’t generally pan out the way they planned, but for Avi Buffalo- his visions have definitely been the exception to [...]

Interview w/ Cale Parks of Brahms

Steel Panther's Wild & Raunchy Ride

You better "Feel The Steel" this Thursday in Royal Oak.

If you guess Latin influenced acoustic numbers, you’re probably in the minority of what would have been guessed, but there’s nothing wrong with change ups.

To say that February 2010 has been a troubling month is probably an understatement. With lead singer Howard Jones out for “personal reasons” (in which no further information still has not been given), the Massachusetts-based metal stars have vowed to forge ahead on tour in his absence.
