Stumbling onto the Detroit music scene in late 2006, The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre (JCM) have been raising the ire of working musicians and anonymous bloggers ever since with their “Is this for real?” performances and always controversial Lavender Blog. The JCM consist of the Bret Easton Ellis spouting Bryan Metro, towering, ex-hockey player, nihilist Johnny Retro (JR), and Asian bass player Vinnie Rawsonville.  Their music has been described as barely listenable, ridiculous garage rock mixed with ‘Sub-Suicide’ beats.  Their stage shows are a mix of music and theater in an un-gay way and tend to polarize the audience, with a record 45 people walking out of a show once, in Toledo.  They pride themselves on being the only blog in existence that is also a band and secretly love anonymous commentators.

In April of 2009, Jesus Chainsaw Massacre won a Detroit Music Award for “Outstanding Electronic Dance Artist / Group” and all the local blogs posted and commented about it.
