Avatar was the first band to hit the stage this past Friday night at Perani Arena for the Banana 20 Year Birthday Bash. The band has been to Flint on a few occasions but not to a crowd of this size.

Last week Nothing More performed at The Machine Shop for their very first time and I would have to say that it ranks as one of my favorite shows this year at The Shop. With their first ever number one hit under their belt, the band performed to around 500 fans.

Starset rolled through The Machine Shop this past Friday night for a Banana 101.5 low Dough Show. I would have to say, this was the first time a band played wearing full blown spacesuits. Check out the pics here.

Last Friday the Uproar Festival kicked off down at The DTE featuring Godsmack, Seether, Skillet, Pop Evil and others. Check out some of the highlight photos from the show, thanks to Mintypics.

When it comes to metal, Battlecross were the kings of Dirt Fest 2014. It started with the fans chanting Battlecross then they started chanting Kaleb which is frontman Gumby's son (coolest thing I saw all day), and then the metal started. It truly was a badass band to watch from start to finish.

Wow, is all I can really say about Killswitch Engage's performance over the weekend at Dirt Fest 2014. The band just looked and sounded larger than life as they headlined the entire event.

Well another Dirt Fest has come and gone and I gotta say this was my favorite Dirt Fest to date. It's really tough to say what band was my favorite but I would have to say Nothing More, Nonpoint, Battlecross, Powerman and Killswitch Engage all put on unforgettable performances.

It was another amazing night at The Machine Shop with the return of Sevendust last night. I have never been disappointed by a Sevendust concert and that streak continued last night.

Like a Storm opened up for Sick Puppies over the weekend at The Machine Shop and absolutely killed. It was awesome watching everyone sing along with 'Love The Way You Hate Me'.

Last week Korn brought their A game to the DTE for this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Music Festival. The band sounded great, looked healthy and you could tell they were having a great time. Just a killer performance all the way around.

Devour The Day killed it Sunday Night at The Machine Shop, I watched the band at a handful of show and this was by far the best sounding one to date.

Theory of a Deadman rocked Flint on Friday night and as you would expect, it was a sold out show. I think fans would agree, one night just isn't enough at The Machine Shop.
