For one night only the DFT—In collaboration with the DIA exhibit American Music (photographs by Annie Leibovitz, Sept. 24through Jan. 7th)—will host the premiere of It Came from Detroit, a new feature length documentary exploring the raw energy of bands such as The Detroit Cobras, The Hentchmen and Electric Six. The film chronicles the evolution of the Detroit garage scene from underground obscurity to rock and roll renaissance. The night will begin with a performance by The Dirtbombs at 6:30 in Rivera Court (free with museum admission), followed by the film screening at 8:00pm in the DFT. Immediately after the screening, The Witches and Outrageous Cherry will close the evening with more live Detroit rock on the DFT stage. Tickets for the theater portion of this special event are $10.
