Legendary 60's band The Früt are whipping out their
instruments once again for one more yearly reunion show. The obscure
rock legends opened for countless bands at the Grande Ballroom (You
remember that, right?) and also set the stage for the Jimi Hendrix
Experience in 1968. Back in the day, the rockers covered old rock hits
like ‘Ruby Baby’ and ‘Sixteen Candles’ in their own wild style, and
released hit originals such as ‘Keep On Truckin’
Two classic LP’s were also released on Westbound Records to great
acclaim by Lester Bangs….. You get the idea, these guys rock and you
have to see them live to be able to take it all in. This year, The Früt will play at the Rec Bowl outside venue in Mount Clements Friday and
Saturday, both at 7 P.M. so you have no excuses for missing this once
in year-time experience. Detroit legend Little Leon will be opening for
the previous opening band, and I will be there jamming on a few tunes
too. Legendary Detroit poster artists Gary Grimshaw and Carl Lundgren
will be present with their artwork along with rock photographer Leni
Sinclair. Going with The Früt’s motto; “Hell no, we ain’t forgettin!’ this won’t be one to miss out on. ~Jarrett Koral-Originally posted on the Metro Times Blogs on August 9th, 2012.
