(March 3, 2010)
In the Metro Detroit Area, we are fortunate to have a wide variety of places to go out and experience live local and national music. Being that we have one of the most thriving music scenes in the country, talent is easy to find but sometimes it is hard to find a place to play. You can find bars on almost any major road, on the other hand finding a quality venue is a lot harder. Many people have to visit Downtown or go out to Ann Arbor to get that feel, unless you know about the hidden gem downriver; “The Rack-N-Roll” a concert venue with a local bar appeal where you can meet good people and have good times. Unlike many bars that have to go by an eighteen and older age policy The Rack-N-Roll is able to open their doors to fans of all ages depending on the show, giving the younger generation a chance to witness upcoming music as well as play pool with friends. "We want to be The Machine Shop (well know, metal venue in Flint) of Downriver. We want to be the place everyone wants to play and we are getting there". Club promoter Tiny states.
What sets The Rack-N-Roll apart from other places? Tiny answers, “we book everything from rock, metal, hip-hop, rap, country, death metal, acoustic music, whatever. We do not discriminate musically”. With a nice sized stage and top-notch sound, this place is somewhere you need to see a show. Artists like Bizarre, Pistol Day Parade, Crackjaw, Ikkurruz, Ray Street Park and so many more have played there. The Rack-N-Roll is involved in doing many community events with upcoming charity shows, A Tribute to the Troops show will have all profits going to The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund on March 27th The "Cancer Sucks" benefit is supporting Tiny’s dad, Tim Cook on April 10th. This Friday, March 5th see Mo-Town Rage, Origix & D.C. along with Waste Management, The Red Hour and Rtkul8, this will be a show you do not want to miss. Doors are at 9pm, all ages, more info visit www.myspace.com/racknrollnightclub The Rack N Roll is located at 13634 Sibley Rd in Riverview, MI 48193. MCB
