About
Vultures of Culture began as a songwriting project by local veteran vocalist Luke DeWitt and guitarist Dave Goodman. Along with bassist Matt LaFleur, Drummer Mike Birchler and guitarist Josh Friedman, Vultures of Culture spent their time during COVID-19 lockdown crafting the songs that would eventually become their debut album Out of The Darkness, along with many more. With a mix of alternative rock, power pop and old-school heavy metal, Vultures of Culture have played in front of national audiences opening for bands such as Sponge and Vertical Horizon. They are active on the local Detroit music scene and continue to play shows on a regular basis.
Their album "Out of The Darkness" was produced by Sponge guitarist Andy Patalan at The Loft Studios in Saline, MI.
Additional booking notes
We require three vocal mics, floor monitors and the proper mic'ing for instruments that you would expect for a five-piece rock band.
