Hip in Detroit's Picks for the Weekend: August 2 - 4

We already told you about Kimball with Handgrenades, Deluxx Fluxx's 1 Year Anniversary, and the Not Going Back fundraiser for Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. Well, here are some other awesome things going on this weekend! 

Saturday, August 3rd - Midas @ Outer Limits Lounge: If you haven't seen Detroit's own Midas play live yet, this Saturday is your chance! This band is still newer to the scene, but features members of Bison Machine and Wild Savages. The guys just got back from tour and are ready to play Hamtramck along with Astral Hand (MKE) and SLO. Heavy & Beyond will be DJing throughout the night as well. Cover is $5 and doors open at 8 p.m.

Saturday, August 3rd - Detroit Oddities & Curiosities Expo: Are you into things that are a bit odd? Then this expo is for you! The Detroit Oddities and Curiosities Expo will be taking over the Suburban Collection Showplace for one day only! At this expo, you will find everything from taxidermy to artwork to "creepy, strange and bizarre items". Tickets are $20 and the show takes place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Sunday, August 4th - Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! Record Show #4 @ The Sanctuary: The best record show around returns to The Sanctuary this Sunday afternoon! The Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! Record show is put on by some of the biggest music enthusiasts in Metro Detroit. The show will feature over 30 vendors selling vinyl, cassettes, music, VHS, vintage shirts, posters, and so much more. Cover is free, but bring money for shopping and also to grab a drink or a $2 slice of pizza from the bar. The show goes from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Sunday, August 4th - Detroit Hustles Harder 12 Year Anniversary Summer BBQ: It's hard to believe that it has been 12 years since the words "Detroit Hustles Harder" first hit shirts. It seems like it really is Detroit's official slogan now-a-days. This Sunday, the brand will be taking over TV Lounge to celebrate their anniversary with food and great DJs, including Erno, Sheefy McFly, Gary Chandler, and more. Cover is $10 at the door, 21+ are welcome, and doors open at 4 p.m.
