Its been recently brought to my attention that a lot of people don't realize how important opening acts are. Admittedly, I myself forgot how important and valuable they are so I made a promise to start getting my ass there early. Opening acts are bands on their way up. Opening bands are usually newer and have something different or interesting to offer. They are there to get the crowd going and if they are really good, they are there to gain some fans and become headlining acts themselves someday. If you really want to know whats happening in music, you go see the opening bands. A lot of times those bands might have even been chosen by the band that you are there to see, so there is a good chance you are going to dig them.
That's why we are encouraging you to head up to the
PALM show at
Marble Bar a little earlier to see Detroit's own
Double Winter on Monday night. We recently saw them open for
Handgrenades and they were really good. Tickets to attend the show are $12 in advance and $14 at the door, you can purchase them online
here. Or, you can enter to win a pair of tickets to the show courtesy of
Party Store Productions. If you would like to enter to win, please email your full name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with the subject line #gotothewholeshow. Then, make sure that if you win, you get up to Marble Bar early and enjoy the whole show to get more music for your money!
