Get Ready to Party with Hip In Detroit this Friday!

It's hard to believe that it's been five years since we started Hip in Detroit. Our goal was to help rebuild the art and musical community of Detroit while showing all of the awesome things that were happening in and around the city, a place that no one was saying anything nice about at the time. Over the last five years, we have met thousands of amazing people, attended thousands of amazing shows, art galleries, and dinners, and we have learned so much more about Detroit, the people who make it move and well, ourselves in the process. It is truly going to be an honor to celebrate with all of you this Friday! So, without further ado we wanted to announce the fifth band that will be playing this years epic show at El Club this Friday, January 6th and we wanted to fill you in on all the great things you can win at this year's event.

This year's show will feature music from The Messenger Birds, Go Tiger Go, James Linck, Against the Grain and QUEEN KWONG. All five of these bands made some big moves in 2016 and we think they will do even bigger and better things in the years to come! Against the Grain played our first show, and this year they will headline. James Linck played our three year anniversary and he will return to make the crowd swoon one more time before his big move to the West Coast. We met Go Tiger Go at the beginning of the year and by the end of it they were one of our favorite up and coming acts. The Messenger Birds reminded us that there is nothing as good as loud rock and roll music, especially when it only takes two people to make it. Queen Kwong made its mark on the City of Detroit this year by becoming active members of our little community. The band relocated from LA to Detroit and threw themselves full steam into playing around town. They have one of the most energetic live shows we have seen in a long time and front woman CarrĂ© Callway embodies everything we love about music. She is a force when she takes the stage. She commands your attention and you enjoy giving it to her. We are honored that they will be playing our big five year anniversary party and happy that they decided to come to our city in the first place!

We also have some pretty amazing price packs to give away at this years event! Tickets to get into the show are $8 at the door and everyone who pays to get in gets one ticket for the raffle. We will be drawing a few names in between each band and if you win, you get to pick from one of the following prize packs.
