“Praise Bob” for the Amino Acids – the Band that Wouldn’t Die!

The spokespeople for The Amino Acids are liars, cheats and charlatans – and I couldn’t be happier about it!

 

See, back in late 2010, two of the men possessed by the surf-punk aliens, took off their masks, talked to the media and said the Aminos were done. They said the band was played out. In about a decade, the group managed to hammer their sound into our heads through about 500 shows.

Man Incorporated Detroit One-Man-Punk/Metal-Band

One of my favorite Detroit bands isn’t really a band at all.  It’s Matthew McGuire from his anti-conglomerate/pro-beer solo effort,  Man Incorporated.

Man Incorporated

Tired of your office job?  Well Man Inc. has the soundtrack for your dismal 9 to 5 life of filing, typing and hiding in the bathroom to help make it  feel like a half day.  From his Facebook page:
While citing irreconcilable differences for an almost two year absence from the stage, Man Incorporated has set aside his issues-The sheer desire to rock as diplomacy-and is reuniting with new set of pissed fueled songs. Repressed… Pressurized… It won’t be so much a performance as an explosion.”
Most people in the Detroit area already know who he is, but here’s a great video from Anthony Garth for the rest of you.

Man Incorporated is performing at Small’s in Hamtramck, Nov. 28, 2009 for the Church of the Sub-Genius Devival. Tickets are only $5.00 at the door-21 and over. Man takes the stage at around 11pm for a short set including five new songs.
