We have here for your viewing pleasure a list of the finest concerts in the city of Detroit for the month of July 2010.  Check these out.  Our personal pitch would be for The Heavy… they're a nice new sound out of England, slightly reminiscent of Bloc Party, etc.

I didn’t know what to expect at first, but when we pulled up to the LA Café [Waterford] art fair, I was delightfully surprised and impressed that the name of the festival was “Peace Fest”. I found it ironic that I had decided to wear my floral vintage dress that day, as well as my companion chose to wear a shirt that had a peace sign on it, not knowing that we would be attending a celebration of peace.

What do Bright Eyes, The Shins, Stars, Feist, and Deathcab For Cutie all have in common? They’re all labeled as stars of the indie rock movement.
