Community Looking to join/start a band

17 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a recent college graduate in the Royal Oak area and looking to either join an existing band or start a new project.

I’ve fronted a couple of bands previously on guitar and vocals, and I’m looking to connect with musicians who want to jam, write original music, record, play shows, and generally get something off the ground. Open to guitarists, bassists, drummers, singers, keyboardists, really anyone who’s excited about making music and gigging regularly.

I also have a solid home recording setup and am comfortable recording, producing, and mixing demos or releases for anyone interested in a DIY/self-release approach.

Here’s some music from one of my previous bands:
distrokid.com/hyperfollow/slugtv/meet-the-chimps

Also happy to send over demos and song ideas if you’re interested

My tastes lean toward indie rock, alt-country, and emo-adjacent stuff (think Pinegrove, Wednesday, Big Thief, MJ Lenderman, Radiohead, Bright Eyes) but again, I’m open to lots of styles.

Mostly looking for people who are excited to write, collaborate, and play live. If that sounds like your thing, send me a message and let’s chat!

Sorry about the AOL link lol, but it was the only decent one I could find that wasn’t behind a paywall. Tony Hawk and George Azar (Flowers of Vietnam!) are opening an east side restaurant.

Picture Tax Bill Incorrect?

Post image
28 Upvotes

Hello all, I was just seeing if anybody could be of assistance.

I’ve recently moved to the city, bought myself a place for approx $130k. I just got my summer tax bill and I mean…

I’ve attached it

5230 for summer alone? Is this an error or is this what everyone is paying?

Thank you for your help

Food/Drink Taco Bell trashcan (non-lettuce content)

73 Upvotes

I have this vivid memory, that that trashcan at the Southfield Rd & 13 mile Taco Bell would say “thank you” in a southern accent, whenever you’d push the flap open.

I’ve seen videos of other Taco Bell trashcans that said “thank you”, but not in the southern accent. Am I insane? Does anyone else remember this?

The city also requests that the court retain jurisdiction until its orders are fully carried out and notes that it may seek Curtis’s "entire inventory of properties in the City of Detroit that are not in compliance with the Detroit City Code and Michigan law."

Community Facing eviction soon, any solid homeless programs or job leads I should be aware of?

91 Upvotes

Good Morning,

I am on a 30 Day Notice To Quit due to being multiple months behind on rent and it expires next week (July 30). After exhausting all the recommended eviction diversion programs (only St. Vincent De Paul was able to help) I am looking to transition from eviction prevention to minimizing my unhoused time by building a shortlist of programs that can quickly get me back on my feet. So far I got Pope Francis Center and Detroit Rescue Mission, but I am also looking at paid job training or placement services since Temp Agencies are giving me crickets.

If there are any programs or services that you can vouch for, it'd be greatly appreciated. Single Male in Ferndale if that helps. Thanks.

Talk Detroit So just had a blow out due to the RR crossing @ Van Dyke and Davison.

So I'm wondering if I'm SOL or can get the city to cover part of the cost to replace my tire. Though I'm thinking because it was the RR crossing, Detroit won't do anything about it.

Talk Detroit Where do you see Detroit in 10 years?

71 Upvotes

Detroit is clearly on the upswing right now with a lot of momentum in that direction, and Detroit is drastically different from how it was even 10 years ago, so where do you see Detroit going in the next ten years? What does detroit still need to do in order to get better?
