Motor City Zooms Into Town for a Visit

The performers were chosen by the Ponderosa Stomp Foundation, record collectors-turned-promoters who dig into rock’s obscure past. The evening concert, headlined by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, included two bands that were resurrected in 2009: Death, a prepunk band that formed in 1973 and dissolved in 1976, and the Gories, a primitivist garage-rock band that initially lasted from 1986 to 1992.

Performers joked about their age and limited successes. “We were laughed at for most of our career,” said Mick Collins of the Gories. “And hopefully still are,” added Daniel Kroha. (Both are guitarists.) Yet for the entire lineup, the spark was still there.

Death made the concert’s most genre-defying music. It’s a taut, precise trio, with the brothers Bobby Hackney on bass and Dannis Hackney on drums; Bobby Duncan on guitar replaced David Hackney,.
