REGRESS IN LEATHER

This past February, I found myself at On the Rocks Bar & Grill in nearby Madison Heights to commiserate with Trevor Naud, member of the Detroit band Zoos of Berlin. The bar was chosen for its ambience—they have sumptuous brown leather booths, a growing rarity around here as older bars vanish or inevitably devolve into brightly lit Apple Store-esque echo chambers hawking shitty brews with cloyingly ribald names.
