Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Toledo’s own outlaw rock speed-freaks Downspeed have decided to throw a party. Their speed-metal-blues-punk hybrid style draws from the Discharge and Motorhead school of bad-guy guitar. To sweeten the deal, they’ve added Detroit rockers Dead 5 and Toledo’s own amp addicts Diesel Burner to the lineup, a circus show from The Wizard of Odd, as well as a performance by Flint, Michigan-based burlesque troupe The Fischer Bodies, and vintage merchandise from Rock N’ Rummage outfit. It promises to be an old-fashioned so-bad-it’s-good time.
