It Came From Detroit Official Trailer (New)

It Came From Detroit is the ultimate fans look at the city's internationally renowned garage rock scene. Produced over five years, the documentary chronicles the scene before and after the spotlight that came to town as the White Stripes rose to fame.

Starting with the hugely influential band The Gories in the 1980s, the bands of the garage scene are known for two things: an impeccable knowledge of the history of rock and roll and a raucous live show. It Came From Detroit documents the evolution of the scene from underground obscurity to an international trend. As bands such as the White Stripes, The Von Bondies, and the Electric Six started to develop a following overseas, journalists around the world started to hype Detroit as The Next Seattle.

We discover how unexpected popularity impacts the musicians lives as more and more bands sign to major labels and tour the world and find out what happens to the small group of friends when not everyone has the same opportunities.

Underneath the crumbling shell of Detroit there is a pulse, and a community of passionate musicians that dug back into the roots of rock and roll and made it relevant again.

...the artists we love. I do my part, as I know others do, Attending shows every week, buying tons of merchandise, spreading the word, etc. But is it enough? This film looks great! I look forward to seeing it one day. My very best to Detroit and it's people!

Sweet sweet shit! New York and LA get the attention, but cities like Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, San Francisco, Atlanta, Providence, Memphis, etc. create the REAL ART. Art soaked in blood and sweat! It's sad that when a city like Detroit finally gets some attention for their music, it is exploited and spoiled until it dies a violent death. Fuck the corporate music world! We all need money to survive, I sympathize. I wish we could find another way to make wealthy...
