The brilliant musical scientists behind Silverghost know how to make a song that screws itself right down into the pleasure center of your brain and stays there for weeks. A-mazing.

Metro Times Blowout 2010 in Pictures
Here’s a handful of highlights from Hamtramck.
Click to view slideshow.
The Mourning Voices Live at Blowout 2010
Ran over to Skipper’s again right after Child Bite to see The Mourning Voices and was not disappointed.
Child Bite Live at Blowout 2010
Here’s the Kid Chomps playing to a packed Gates of Columbus Hall. Their set earned GoC the title of Best Place To Get Strangled By A Parachute In Hamtramck.
Bonus Mack
With permission, here’s an mp3 of the whole Illy Mack Blowout set from Thursday. Enjoy!

Black Lodge Live at Blowout 2010
The highlight of a very well-highlighted (highlit?) night, Black Lodge, as you might be able to tell from the evidence presented above, Fucking. Killed. It. Look out for a bonus Jesus Chainsaw Massacre appearance on the second song!
Blue Snaggletooth Live at Blowout 2010
Blue Snaggletooth are excellent musicians with row after row of straight, white teeth. AND LASERS. Check ‘em out.
Beekeepers Live at Blowout 2010
After seeing them in person at Jean’s, I would gladly let any of these gentlemen keep my bees. All of the songs they played were amazingly written and flawlessly performed.
Also, big up to whoever was blathering on about their yogurt and salad intake behind us FOR THE ENTIRE SET.
Blasé Splee Live at Blowout 2010
Atlas Bar was unable to fully contain the sounds of the wonderful Blasé Splee. Residents of the surrounding houses were forced to buy wristbands by armed Metro Times security forces.
Robin Parrent Live at Blowout 2010
Here’s Robin Parrent janglin’ out at Kelly’s on Friday!
Illy Mack Live at Blowout 2010
Illy Mack blew everyone away at Whiskey In The Jar, and then after a few songs they blew the strings off their guitar (an instrument you play by banging it on a keyboard). We made an audio recording of almost the whole set, so if it’s alright with the illie macklers, maybe a torrent is in the works.
Zoos of Berlin Live at Blowout 2010
Those delightful German fellows from Zoos of Berlin play to a packed house at Paycheck’s.
WCTM Gold Live at Blowout 2010
Playing a kickass set at Gates of Columbus, this may be the only time you get to see another member of WCTM Gold! besides Scottie show you their titties.
Legendary Creatures Live at Blowout 2010
A lovely duet from Legendary Creatures live at Skipper’s.
Blowout Recap
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).
