marick Posted November 24 Author Report Share Posted November 24 party was awsome! little luie vaga was awsome! seeing & hanging out with all my old bambi friends all weekend was awsome! great weekend! ericka: it all depends on what kinda music and people you like. IMO the best club is 'the shelter' on saturday nights which is all minimal techno & electronic/experimental stuff with a little electro mixed in. if you like harder techno/deep & funcky house then 'the works' is a good place as they bring in wicked guests on a regular basis. if you like strait up house music then there is this bar downtown on woodward called 'good time Foran's' which hosts a night the first thrusday of each month called 'flow'. it features all female djs playing house and has had some pretty amazing guests! it's a good night with a great vibe! for more mainstream stuff in the progressive, trance & hip hop scenes there are places like 'blue'. panacia is also a wicked little club that does alot of one offs feat. techno & house djs both guests and local and i think one of their nights (friday maybe) is hip hop.there are one off events all over the place at various little venues in and around the city ranging from techno to minimal techno to IDM to house to indie etc...the best places to find out about stuff going on around town are the record shops. where in detroit are you going to be? there is a shop in downtown ferndale called 'record time' which has a huge flyer rack. there is also a record time in roseville. they have info on most of the major events going on around town. there is neptune records in downtown royal oak which is the place to go if you want to find out about all the experimental/IDM/minimal techno & indie nights going on. if you can't get to the record shops then you can grab a 'real detroit' paper when you get here and have a look at the events pages. it's kinda like 'street' or ' new times' down there but it's better becase it usually lists most of the events going on no matter what type of music it is.anyway, drop me an e-mail at marick_stawis@hotmail.com and let me know the exact dates when you'll be in town and maybe we can meet up or something...take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the info. The club in Flint is called Purple Moon I think. Get this, it used to be a "Kountry Kettle" but they turned it into a club....WTF! It's right down from the new Nathan J's strip club... Flint also has the Machine Shop - which is a rock bar... Kid Rock hangs out there all the time - my cousin told me he see's him in there when there's a kick-ass band in town. I've heard of Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac.. Is the Industry still there? Isn't it called Happy Face Lounge or some shit? What was that other place called - Ultimate Sports Bar? I went there one time - it had like a basketball court in it:laugh: Ugh, that place suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckedddddddddddddddddddd:laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
