60s detroit rock bands

Join Date Apr Posts Detroit bands from the late 60's and early 70's So I've been on the hunt for the past year or so for local Detroit bands from the late 60's and early 70's. I don't mean popular bands that came from the city, but more of the underground ones, or ones that maybe signed a major deal but never really took off. I figured I'd ask here since there seems to me a lot of people around of differing age groups.

I'm 36, and think today's music is relatively lame I've probably felt this way for a good 10 years. February, PM 2.

Yeah Rockin Robert! Also, if anyone knows whatever happened to a group called the "Henchmen" can you let me know. One of their songs is on the Hideout CD.

You might want to get a copy of the Hideout CD it is a classic example of the various groups that were around Detroit in the 60's.

Cinecyde, still active over thirty years later, began in the latter s, but achieved much of their following during the s, including their founding of the Tremor Records label.

The Detroit rock scene was home to several notable metal bands during the s. Because of the alternative rock music craze, two of Metro Detroit's college towns Ann Arbor and East Lansing had vibrant music scenes.

Just when it seemed like the US had ceded garage rock - which we invented - to Scandinavia and Australia , the White Stripes roared to life and proved Detroit still had the goods. And let us not forget that they were a stripped-down, primitive, blues-based two-piece dive-bar band that somehow ended up selling millions of records and packing stadiums worldwide. Beginning in as shockingly primitive blues-punk skronkers and eventually mutating a decade later as the sweat-slinging soul-shakers the Dirtbombs, guitarist Mick Collins and his liquid gang of collaborators have collectively created some of the greatest garage rock this side of They also happened to be life-changing live performers.

Mick Collins may very well be the living embodiment of Detroit Rock City. There was a point some something years ago when Grand Funk was literally the biggest-selling rock band in America, and whilst they do not carry the same cache of cool as MC5, Frigid Pink, or The Up, they played bone-crunching hard rock that the whole country reverberated to.
