Detour, a new Detroit-based online music, movie, pop culture magazine, will host three nights of music featuring the best bands Motown currently has to offer. Detour is anchored in the Detroit scene, but is also making overtures toward national recognition, offering reviews and commentary on big movies and various national and international recording artists. It will be interesting to see if the online mag catches on in Detroit and outside as it builds content and finds its niche among the many entertainment-based sites traipsing about the Interwebs.

The Launch Party will conglomerate Detroit’s best bands over three days and three venues, The Magic Stick, The Garden Bowl, and the C.A.I.D. Highlights for me will include Johnny Headband, The Hadituptoheres, Freer, and The High Strung (whose newest album, Get the Guests, is pretty amazing). You can check out music from all of the acts by clicking on each band’s name on the official schedule.

Detour’s Three-Day Launch Party will take place Thursday, September 20 thru Saturday, September 22. Ticket prices vary depending on which bands you want to check out and which nights you want to attend.
