GREAT LAKES MYTH SOCIETY (Detroit)
JEFF FRIELING
THE NICE OUTFITS
Metrotimes.com Best of Detroit 2005:
Best argument for provincial songsters - Great Lakes Myth Society
The real Midwestern-themed pop grows on this side of
the state, in Ann Arbor specifically. Great Lakes Myth
Society’s sparklingly literate debut is awash in the
sunlight and darkness of Michigan’s history, vitality
and legend. It’s also a gem of pop, folk and Americana
influences.
Best Americana band - Great Lakes Myth Society
Bands like GLMS are born, not made. Mutual passions
have to merge with years of brotherhood, fart jokes
and geography-specific references. But short of taking
bold shots at poetry, beauty and the magic of your
Mitten State surroundings, all that camaraderie means
squat. GLMS is confident enough to go for the gusto in
such missions, and talented enough to hit the mark,
with tunes of soaring harmony, haunting scenery and
lived-in portraits that ache with detail right down to
the worn elbows of an old comfortable flannel on a
late November night in Ishpeming.
9:30pm doors - 10:00pm show - 21+
Viaduct Theater - 3111 N. Western Chicago IL
