Industrial rock band Cybertrybe
will perform as part of the Detroit Music Awards on Friday, April 19 at The
Fillmore (2115 Woodward Avenue), Detroit. Cybertrybe – along with genre
compatriots Haflife and Draconian Productions - will team up for a spirited
tribute to Detroit’s Industrial and Goth music scenes.
When Detroit Music Award organizers
invited Cybertrybe to perform at this year’s event – an honor reserved for a
select few - bandleader Sean Mooer decided to pay tribute to the city’s
hallowed, and often misunderstood, Industrial and Goth music
scenes.
“The Detroit Goth and Industrial
scene is not just a bunch of kids dressed in all black going to The City Club
(Detroit’s long running Goth nightclub),” Mooer explains. “It is a community of
bands, artist and special performers that take great pride in the art they
represent.” Seeking to showcase this underground community – Mooer invited
Cybertrybe’s industrial contemporaries Haflife and Draconian Productions, a
theatrical troop that incorporates fire, aerial performance and dance, to share
the stage with them.
Cybertrybe’s Detroit Music Awards
performance is especially meaningful since they are nominated for seven awards
this year including “Outstanding Electronic/Dance Artist/Group,” “Outstanding
Electronic/Dance Recording,” “Outstanding Electronic/Dance Writer/Producer,”
“Outstanding Local Label,” “Outstanding Rock/Pop Recording,” “Outstanding Rock
Song Writer” and “Outstanding Industrial Group.” No stranger to accolades –
Cybertrybe has been nominated for Detroit Music Awards every year since the
band’s inception in 1994, garnering seven awards in the band’s almost 20 years
together.
Cybertrybe is currently finishing
their latest release “Picnic in the Apocalypse” (EvilFish Records) slated for a
Fall 2013 release. Having performed with rock luminaries Nine Inch Nails, Stone
Temple Pilots and Powerman 5000, music fans are in for a treat with Cybertrybe’s
invigorating live show at the Detroit Music Awards on Friday, April
19.
Tickets to the Detroit
Music Awards are $20 and now available at the Fillmore Box Office or by calling
313-961-5451. Doors are at 6 pm and show time is at 7 pm. All ages are welcome
to attend.
