Dirtbombs’ Zach Weedon celebrates local music scene in UK’s Guardian

The Dirtbombs and Lee Marvin Computer Arm member Zachary Weedon waxes poetic on our local music scene this week on the Guardian UK’s music blog, calling Detroit a city of “unlimited possibilities”.

Weedon’s toured the world playing music, but he still says Detroit’s the best city in the world to be in a band. Maybe it’s the history, all those old venues and stories of once-great bands, but Weedon also pinpoints the D’s low cost of living for its ability to produce so many creatives.

can spend most of their days practising, playing shows, making flyers,
recording, listening to records, making T-shirts. Playing in the
Dirtbombs, I can come home from a long tour and not be completely broke
from paying rent, or have my house smell like cat piss from someone’s
pet sub-leasing my place. This is the freedom you have living here.
