Win FREE Tickets to See Face to Face This Wednesday

When I was 15 my Dad bribed me into getting better grades at school by promising to take me to see No Doubt in concert at the end of the year. This was right after Tragic Kingdom was released and No Doubt was at the height of their success. They played a huge sold out show at the Palace with the most legendary lineup of openers that I can remember. The show was with Rocket From the Crypt, Face to Face, Weezer and No Doubt. It’s rare to see a huge show like this with such a solid lineup.
All four bands found their own success and have continued making music and touring. Since this first encounter I have seen every one of these acts preform again, except for Face to Face. I have never been able to catch them and watch them play, but I have over-listened to their 1996 self-titled album for the last 15 years in anticipation of seeing them again one day. I feared after their split in 2004 that I may never get my second chance to see them, but thankfully the girls at Black Iris Booking are always on top of their game and are finally bringing these gentlemen back to Detroit this Wednesday, June 19.

Face to Face will be headlining at the Magic Stick along with Teenage Bottlerocket, Blacklist Royals and Joshua Black Wilkins. This show is $20 in advance and $23 at the door. I personally believe that this show is worth every penny, but thanks to Black Iris booking we are able to give two people a chance to bring a friend and see the show for free. To enter, please email us at hipindetroit@gmail.com with your name and the subject line 'I Want To See Face To Face'.
