See The Idiot Kids for FREE this Weekend

It seems like the talk of the town for months now has been The Idiot Kids. The three piece, featuring Nicholas Zambeck, Ryan Chlebek and Jon-Mikal Bartee, classifies themselves as garage-punk, and that sound might be the reason why this band has bridged a gap. They have accomplished something that very few bands around here have been able to do, they play shows with the punk bands and they play shows with the indie bands. Although Detroit has an amazing music scene, it's no secret that there are very definitive groups within that scene. It's rare for these groups to mix (unless you're at a Hip In Detroit anniversary show), but The Idiot Kids are crossing those lines. For instance, a few weeks ago they played with Matt Wixson's Flying Circus at their release show and then shortly after they played with YUM and The Erers.

This weekend they are playing with yet another awesome lineup. Friday, April 8th The Idiot Kids will be playing at The Painted Lady with Blakdog, Mover Shaker and Junk Food Junkies. With a lineup like that, we guarantee this will be a super fun show! Make sure you click on each of those bands and have a listen so you know just what we mean! Admission for this great show is only 5 bucks, doors are set to open at 9 p.m and 18+ are welcome. We are also giving away 2 pairs of tickets to this show. If you would like to enter to win, please send your full name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with The Idiot Kids in the subject line. We will draw 2 lucky winners the morning of the show and they will get in the door with a friend for FREE.
