MCB Guide to the UNOfficial , there are a lot of parties "a la" electronic music happening in Detroit this weekend.

TRIBE at Grasshopper Underground - FERNDALE
 

In the great Detroit tradition of small, influential underground clubs like 
Bookies 870 in the late 70's and early 80's and then the Gold Dollar in the 90's, TRIBE atThe Grasshopper Underground in Ferndale is using that template of the great underground music clubs- where great names play in a cozy, intimate setting, making that sacred connection between performer and audience in the most personal way- live and up close.
