We do free parties/shows nearly every weekend during the school year and shows all summer long. Some of the shows this summer have been the best I've ever been to. Imagine a basement that can hold up to 200 people, lined with couches on the walls. Shows are cheap (5$ or free), we often have vegan potlucks, offer bands a place to stay, etc. Some of the bands that have played this summer include: Downpresser, Creatures, Withdrawal, Make Do And Mend, Hostage Calm, Black Teeth, Rattletooth, Decades, Beartrap, A Loss For Words, Transit, and Face Reality. Shows here are attended by a large portion of the hardcore scene in Southeast Michigan (usually between 75-100 people). Good people, a close community, and great local bands.

John and I are also students at U of M, and play in a band called Dire Wolf. Our band is the only Ann Arbor band that I really know of, but there's several good bands in the metro Detroit area.

If you have any questions about the school or Ann Arbor in general let me know, and I'd be happy to answer them.

HUGE help, dude. much appreciated. i hear you about being in the only hardcore punk band around because i've been in that position here; the actual music here in Greensboro is pretty shitty, and i end up driving 1-3 hours to bigger cities around here to play/see a show. seems like most of the bands you listed i've seen around here recently. i remember beartrap being really good. anyway, i'll be up in ann arbor sept. 4-6, actually, if there's anything good going on then.

hope to see you guys around there assuming i end up in school up there!

I'll be attending AI Michigan in Novi, and my brother is going to Thomas Cooley in Ann Arbor. I'll try and make it to the Metal Frat show on the 19th. What is the address?

I know no one in the area. Add me! Hahaha
