DJ Dos Lopez – Red 80’s Mix featuring The Seatbealts

Slap Reviews The Seatbelts: 10.29.2016 Halloween in Detroit???? sound scary to you citizens out there???? Rest assured, Detroit is still producing the hard rock that made it the place to be in the 60’s and 70’s. The Seatbelts are a fine example of the evolution of garage rock (which I am very familiar with, LOL!!!) and the post punk continuum. Here is a group that took me through a JOYRIDE of original tunes and some nice covers at the Northern Lights Lounge, deep in the heart of the motor city. I brought my brother David Slap (former drummer with DB Night) along for the ride. We were impressed with Greg Upshur, he was an outstanding front man and vocalist for the group. Backed by the solid rhythm section of Tony Bojani on drums and Skid Marx on bass, the group blew through the set and laid the hammer down!!!! The tunes that stood out to me were “Girl off the Street”, a catchy little rocker reminding me of early Stones and my work with the late John Angelos. Also bringing a smile to my face was “Workin’ the Line”, the lyrics were outstanding; humorous, yet very reflective of the frustrations of the working class. To top it all off, they finished with one of my favorites “Heroes”, which made me want to grab a mic and jump up on the stage!!!! I always support independent artists and you can also, you can get there music CD at https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Ride-Se…/…/B00EWTZZ3M/ref=sr_1_9… and if you are in the Michigan area, please do not miss this band of brothers.
