Are you hip to the Detroit rock scene? From an outsider’s perspective it can amaze, huh?
Having said that, the scene’s always been pretty segregated, and you never see too many black faces on local indie or rock show bills, just as it’s rare to see many white kids on local rap shows. But, the organizers of the Cosmic Slop Festival, spearheaded by one Deekah Wyatt, aim to put Detroit’s black rock scene (yes, Detroit’s black rock scene) on a pedestal by kick-starting the area’s first annual Afro-rock concert fest.
