JAB filters and Detroit Rock

[Nanoose]

Whenever I think about the JAB filters I think about Detroit’s rock and roll music scene in the 70s and 80s because it was bad (not the bad kind of bad but the good kind of bad) .
(Ted Nugent – Alice Cooper and lots more bands started in Detroit’s bar scenes) and in case you didn’t know Soupy Sales was also from Detroit
Here is a video of a Detroit band in the 80s when they were in their prime and really bad. Cheers!

I was never into Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, who had several hit songs (Devil With the Blue Dress On, Little Latin Lupe Lu, C.C. Rider) in the mid-60s, but I did have the pleasure of seeing them perform when they played at JAXX nigthclub in Springfield, Va, a few years ago. My son's band(s) have played at JAXX numerous times.

The local legend is that many years ago the JAXX building was a seedy XXX movie house. Don't know if that's true or not, but I can believe it.

The Amboy Dukes were a Detroit band that had a #1 hit on the charts in the 70s their guitarist was Ted Nugent. Cheers!

A few bands from the suburbs of Detroit

The Pleasure Seekers were an all girl band that started as a garage band in the suburbs of Detroit in the 60s. I don’t think their around any more but their music did open up the door for other girl rock bands.



The Underdogs started out as a garage band in the suburbs of Detroit in the 60s – Bob Segar was a member of the group and he later formed his own group – Bob Segar and
the Silver Bullet Band



The Fugitives started out as a garage band in the suburbs of Detroit and I think their still rocking to this day.

The Fugitives before they were a bad *ss Detroit bar band
