What was the most interesting, fun, and original musical even in Detroit in 2009? Science Rocks!! It’s back once again at the exciting Detroit Science Center featuring performances by Darling Imperial, The Prime Ministers, Electric Fire Babies, and Silverghost (who will score an IMAX movie about sharks!!). There’s even cool people in lab coats that will answer all your science questions! They won’t make you learn anything if you don’t want to, I promise. Tickets are $20 ($15 for members) and include Detroit Science Center museum admission and drink tickets. Advance tickets are available at the Science Center and by calling Reservations at 313.577.8400, Option 5. Tickets also will be available at the door. Even more info here. DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW.

Earlier this month Motor City Rocks announced we’d try to interview all 170 Blowout bands (the number used to be 200, but now it’s 170? I don’t know why either). We fell short, but we’re very proud of where we ended up. If you’ve been keeping count, we interviewed 28 of the 170 Blowout bands. That’s 16% my friends! It was a ballsy attempt, next year we’re going to get the full 100%.
We had to scurry to render and up all of our interviews from this weekend. So 13 got posted last night! To help you with any you might have missed, as well as to give you a clear cut road map of some of the bands you should consider seeing this weekend.
All of the band links below go to the interview page, which includes a link to their myspace (so you can hear their tunes), a photo (so you can swoon at them), and the the rest of the bands they’re playing with (so you can decide whether to stick around or stumble to the next bar).

Thanks a million to The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre, Marco Polio, Sheefy McFly, and the Thornbills for putting on an absolutely spectacular show last night. Thanks to PJ’s Lager House and all their stupendous staff for hosting us, and thank you all for coming out and supporting us. For everyone else (whose squalid couch crevasses failed to yield the mere five bucks you needed to get in), we’ve got audio and video recordings of every one of the performances and we’ll be putting them out as soon as possible.
