Bass Drum of Death The Magic Stick • 6/18
With long, shaggy hair and the dirty grunginess of garage rock, Bass Drum of Death will be rolling through Detroit like a freight train. Their accelerated guitar and percussion sounds lead to head-thrashin' and body-shakin'. But really, they belong in one of those classic high school movies about breaking the rules. Their music produces images of high-top sneakers, pizza and skateboards. Their lyrics range from topics about drugs, religious girls, Elvis dreams, the devil and panic attacks—all basic life experiences. If you feel like some wickedly modern yet throwback tunes, head over to the Magic Stick, order a PBR and take a listen. Doors at 8 p.m., more info at majesticdetroit.com.

Mogwai The Crofoot • 6/19
