Rival Schools

Small's is a tiny place with the stage in the back of the venue, so it's definitely ideal if you like to park yourself at the stage (I was at Walter's feet for the show). While it was unfortunate that Ian left the band before this tour, Walter and the boys still sounded super tight! Power trios have their own unique chemistry and the guys sounded great. Nice mix of songs between the 2 albums, a quick ode to Bob Seger, a b-side and a Smiths cover and the show was done. It may have taken 10+ years for them to finally get around to playing Detroit, but without question it was definitely worth the wait! Here's hoping it won't take another 10+ years to see them again!
