Celebrate 4 Years of Hip In Detroit

Poster by Christopher Jarvis

We must be crazy! Somehow we have been doing this thing called Hip In Detroit for 4 years now! We've spent countless nights writing, shooting videos, and covering the Detroit area. We've discovered some of our favorite bands, tried great restaurants, and met some amazing friends through this website and we are thrilled that there are people out there that enjoy what we are doing! Every hit we get on our page, share we get on social media, comment we receive, and thank you we hear still brings a smile to our faces.

To thank all of you for being fans of Hip In Detroit we have planned another bad ass party filled with great prizes and awesome music! The date is set for Saturday, February 27th at Zeke's Rock & Roll BBQ. When we thought about all of the venues in Metro Detroit that we have gone to shows at and hung out at over the last year, Zeke's stood out over them all. Since they opened their doors they have been our go to place for a drink, meal, or fun night out. Plus we absolutely love the owners and everyone that works there! Zeke's stage will be filled with five acts that we love and a lineup that has something for everybody. The lineup for the night includes Cheapshow, Young Hunger, DirtWolf, Tart and Ancient Language. If you haven't heard of these bands before, we urge you to check them out and we look forward to telling you more about them in upcoming weeks. And as we mentioned, we will be giving out a ton of prizes throughout the night! With paid admission to the show, everyone will receive a raffle ticket and a chance to win. We will have prizes from Black Iris Booking, The Crofoot, Royal Oak Music Theatre, AEG Live, Joe Gall a.k.a. Camera Jesus, B Nektar, AE Heating & Cooling, Suck it Suicide, Saffron, Incognito, BrightlyTwisted, Biker Bob’s Harley Davidson, Live Nation Detroit, Alley & Eye, Party Store Productions, 1592, J. Navarro & The Traitors, Gold Crayon, Blumz, Ironclad Tattoo Co., PRTY Crew Collective, Dick Picks, Schwartz Therapy + Wellness, P.C., Lost Highway, Jett Plastic Recordings  Dick Guitar Picks, Noir, Imperial, Public House, Zander Michigan, Elphie Elora, The Beggars, M1 Studios and Tequila Cabresto, some of the greatest companies and people throughout our area!

This is going to be an awesome night to say the least! We hope all of you can come out and join us! So mark your calendars and make sure you head over and RSVP to the Facebook event page here. We will be posting pictures of prizes, info on the bands playing, and all sorts of updates leading up to the night of the party, so it's a great way to stay in the loop! Thanks again for all of your support over the last 4 years! We can't wait to party with all of you on February 27th!
