It Came From Detroit

posted December 19, 2013 #

Last night I had the pleasure of watching It Came From Detroit, a documentary profiling the Detroit music scene as it existed in the late 80's through early 2000's. Basically, what existed pre-White Stripes and what happened during their rise to fame but told tangentially, not from the perspective of Jack or Meg White. Bands like The Hentchmen, The Dirtbombs / The Gories, Blanche and a ton more paved the way.

Hearing about any music scene is fascinating but I found this one particularly intriguing because of the parallels I felt it had with Nashville (and, prior to that, Murfreesboro anticipatory explosion). I am sure the same could be said of any non-first-tier community.

It's a great watch and I think anyone that's interested in the story of communities would love it.
