The Aces concert at The Majestic Theatre in Detroit on the 18th of September was nothing short of electric. This four-piece band, known for their dreamy blend of bedroom pop and rock, brought a sound reminiscent of The 1975 and The Japanese House, filling the venue with an infectious energy. The crowd, buzzing with excitement, was treated to a night that felt like a celebration of queer representation and musical excellence.
Opening the night was Crepe Girl, a two-piece band making their Detroit debut. They impressed the crowd with their fresh sound and confidence, showing off an eclectic mix of their original songs. But what truly lit up the room was their cover of SZA’s “Snooze,” which perfectly set the tone and had the audience vibing. For an opener, they did more than warm up the crowd-they made a lasting impression.
From the moment they took the stage, The Aces had the audience in the palm of their hand. Their performance was tight, polished, and brimming with emotion, showcasing their musicianship and ability to connect with their fans. Hits like "Girls Make Me Wanna Die" and "I've Loved You For So Long" got the crowd singing along, while the fan favorite “Suburban Blues” struck a perfect balance between heartache and euphoria. The setlist was a fantastic mix of upbeat anthems and more intimate moments, giving fans the full range of The Aces’ dynamic sound.
All in all, the night was a high-energy, inclusive celebration of music and identity, with both The Aces and Crepe Girl delivering unforgettable performances. The Aces’ ability to make every fan feel seen and heard while delivering flawless musicality proves they’re a band to watch as they continue to carve out their space in the indie pop-rock scene
