Saturday night don't stop won't stop

Detroilet is a criminal’s playground that not even Snake Plissken would monkey bar into, it is known for little else – which has spawned the TV show with the most street cred reality history. But the Dirty D also spawned a garage rock scene around the turn of the century that shall not soon be forgotten. The backbone of that scene belongs to none other than Mick Collins, frontman of the Dirtbombs, Gories, Blacktop, Voltaire Bros., etc.

While Jack White gets the name and acclaim, Mick wears the stains of a gritty, no frills mojo that built your favorite rock ‘n roll flop house on top of pissy, crack-viled sidewalks. I’m interviewing Mick before his D-Bombs hit the entry stage Saturday -- boozy, raw video to come. The Fuzz Master a lot to say and you’ve got a lot to learn, so stay tuned scenesters-in-training.

Here’s to hoping I can get his bad-assed white-hot bassist Ko Melina to kiss me on the cheek.
