Recap of HMF 2018

This past weekend the Hamtramck Music Fest took over the streets and bars of Hamtramck. Now in its fifth year, the festival brought together some of the best local talent and fans that this city has to offer. Every bar was packed, with record numbers attending the event.

We had an absolute blast this weekend, while trying to catch as many acts as we possibly could. Since the lineup was so stacked this year, it was impossible to see everyone that we wanted to, but every band that we saw, blew us away! Highlights from the weekend included, BAVE and White Bee, both at New Dodge, and The Cheetahs at Outer Limits. Speaking of Outer Limits, this was our first time checking out this bar, although it has been on our list of things to do for awhile. We absolutely fell in love with this place! It had an overall cool vibe, awesome decor, and was a great place to see a band play. Plus they serve cans of wine!

Although we didn't snag any footage while we were at Outer Limits, we did manage to get a few videos from Small's and New Dodge while we were out on the town. Check out videos from BAVE, The Dropout, Golden Torso, Bison Machine, and Bogart. The crowds got a bit crazy for some of these shows, so our apologies in advance for being a bit shaky from time to time.

We applaud of the organizers, volunteers, venues and performers for killing it again this year! The whole weekend was a blast and HMF just seems to keep getting better and better. We only wish that we could have made it to every bar and seen every band, but there's always next year!
