Ann Arbor’s ‘60 garage band SRC will play a reunion show this coming Saturday at 9 pm at Barnstormers, a small banquet hall/bar in Whitmore Lake (just north of Ann Arbor).  Overshadowed in the 60s by some of their fellow Michigan garage rockers like the Stooges and the MC5, they are once again outdone as the Stooges just rocked out The Fox on Friday to a packed crowd.  Call Barnstormers at 734 449-0040 for more details.

Speaking of the MC5, there will be a documentary released soon called MC5: A True Testimonial.  Included will be footage of them playing in the Arb in Ann Arbor.  Kick out the jams!

And while I’m at it, I’ve been meaning to bring up a topic: who was the best Michigan garage band in the 60s?  There were The Stooges, The Frost, SRC, The Rationals, The MC5, The Amboy Dukes, Third Power, Bob Seger, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Frigid Pink, and then all the smaller bands like the Pastels.  They all had a slightly different sound, and it was amazing that so many great bands came out of the local area at that time to become national acts and signed to major labels.  My personal vote is for is The Rationals.
