Detroit rock icons of the first tier, garage rockers
Mitch Ryder and Question Mark presided over
America’s rock & roll conversion in the 1960s, when
radio gems like Ryder’s high-octane Devil with a
Blue Dress On and the colorful Mysterians’ 96 Tears
made both artists into two of the most popular recording
artists in America. Equally inspired by the
blues, R&B, and garage punk pioneers who had
come before them, The Gories may have been too
incendiary for their time, but their influence continues
to reverberate. Many pop scholars and fans
have only recently discovered Death, a reignited
1970s trio of African American proto-punk rockers
that were true anomalies in the Detroit ferment.
The Ponderosa Stomp creates a showcase for living history and
thriving art, spotlighting the unsung heroes who planted the very
roots of American music.
