Saturday night it finally went down, Flint Eastwood released their latest album Small Victories to a packed room of over 700 people! First and foremost, congratulations to everyone involved, this was a record breaking turnout and one hell of a show.

Parlor Tricks kicked off the show and got the already hyped crowd warmed up for the night. Then Seth the Syblyng took the stage with an eclectic mix of Detroit talent, including Bevlove, Britney Stoney, Mic Write, Passalaqua, Duane: The Brand New Dog, Gosh Pith and Kopelli. This was one of the highlights of the night for me. I didn't know what to expect and watching each artist come out and belt out their track or verse was not only entertaining as hell, but it was also inspiring. Seth is a major talent that knows how to bring out the best in people. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PROJECT, YOU MUST CHECK IT OUT!

Next up was Tunde Olaniran. Tunde performed with our favorite two dancers, Emma and Cintell, and killed it as usual. He even rocked some epic new neon hair color for the night. We had a chance to walk down the street and chat with the man behind the music at Assemble before the show. Check out what he had to say and make sure to pick up a copy of his latest album Trangressor, which was release this past August.

Finally, it was time for Flint Eastwood to take the stage! Jax came out like an explosion and didn't miss a beat. She performed 5/6 songs from the new EP Small Victories before moving into a mix of older stuff, including some great tracks off The Baptism. Finally, she ended the night with my favorite song of the new album, the title track "Small Victories". Jax had the entire room moving and dancing for over a hour and a half. It was an epic performance and a celebration.
