Two great music events in Detroit tonight:



First, a record release party for The Nice Device's debut LP Let the Nightlife Down at the Magic Bag in Ferndale. (A sentiment and body of work I apprecited enough to happily design the album art.) If you're not familiar, imagine a bit of Postal Service, a bit of Ladytron, and a healthy dose of Detroit rock. More info at LISTD.

Also tonight, kindly maniac and player of fine records Ryan Elliott presents the June edition of Vault, featuring special guest DJ Richard Fearless of Death in Vegas at OSLO. More info at LISTD.



+ the lush and seedy music video for the Death in Vegas/Adult. collaboration Hands Around My Throat from 2002's brillinat but schizophrenic Scorpio Rising LP.
