But will NKOTB dig them?

While looking up some info on Detroit, the shit holes of shit holes, I came across a wrap-up of a recent festival of local band that looks really well organized. (230+ bands, 3 nights, 20 venues in Hamtramck with available shuttle service)

Anyways was intrigued by Champions of Breakfast, whose live act consists of them being performing with cardboard instruments backed by pre-recorded tracks on an iPod. They sing about Nintendo, Unicorns, D&D and partying.

"The Terrible Twos are insane, and I say that in the best possible way. Listening to their spastic punk makes me want to pour beers on my head, light fires & punch people. Im fairly certain they bought their keyboards from the devil himself. At the same time the Terrible Twos sound both extremely tight and out of control."
