Detroit Rocks...The Documentary
The world knows about the rich musical history of Detroit, Michigan, and the legendary artists it has produced, but what is it that makes The Motor City unique when it comes to Rock & Roll? Everyone knows the names Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, The MC5, The Stooges, The Romantics, Kid Rock, etc., but what made these acts so different, so special, so quintessentially “Detroit”?
The Detroit music scene is a vibrant stew of musical influences, and when an act rises up from the trenches here to become known worldwide, they are taking those influences with them. The Detroit experience is unique because the bands here inspire and influence each other as much or more than they are influenced by the Rock & Roll standard-bearers of the world. For every kid in Detroit who was inspired by Led Zeppelin or Guns & Roses, there were dozens more whose heroes included bands like Adrenalin, Mugsy, Seduce, The Almighty Strut, Halloween, and more recently, The Shram Band, Overloaded, Pistol Day Parade, and so many others who are little-known outside of southeastern lower Michigan.
Detroit Rocks is a documentary which will focus not on history, but on the influences that live and grow in the here and now, as they are passed from generation to generation of young up-and-coming musicians. This is not the story of this band or that band, it is the story of how players in Detroit were affected by the bands that they saw in their own hometown, and how these influences can be heard in the music being made today in Detroit and beyond. It is the story of Detroit rock & roll told in the voices of the players who have made Detroit "Rock City".
Detroit Rocks will feature interviews with prominent Detroit rockers from the late sixties to today, and live concert footage of currently active artists covering songs from their Detroit influences. In addition, the producers have recorded a "Band Aid" style theme song featuring dozens of well-known Motor City musicians, and are organizing a concert starri

“Look What We’ve Done” - Pete Rivera (formerly of Rare ...
This is a most powerful song & video that is a must see for anyone who loves Detroit...“Look What We’ve Done” was born out of discussions about the state of economic conditions in our country. It came out of frustration and anger seeing so many of our American workers finding themselves out of work and living with increasing desperation over the security of their futures. People are worried about supporting their families, paying their bills, and watching their security slip away at a record pace. There are many different views as to where the fault lies. This website was created as a feedback platform to hear the voices of American people who would like to be heard, and we welcome your feedback. Please join our blog and participate in the discussions. Maybe in some way we can call more attention to the problems we face and hopefully in some small way, it will help.http://lookwhatwevedone.com/
