Detroit rock & roll hotspot 313.jac at Jacoby's has hosted the best up-and-coming acts for over a decade, seeing all sorts of happenings like Jack White leaping onstage with the Waxwings to sing backup and Kid Rock holding court.
On Friday, August 9, 2008, Jacoby's played host to a particularly unique happening as Hollywood invaded in the form of the cast of the roller derby film "Whip It", including star/director Drew Barrymore, stars Ellen Page, Juliette Lewis, Eve, Zoe Bell, indie popster Landon Pigg and Jimmy Fallon as well as many derby girl cast members.
Following sets by Detroit-area acts I, Crime, Rouge Satellites, and Satori Circus, an impromptu jam broke out as Juliette Lewis & Eve took to the stage and performed the disco anthem "I Will Survive" backed by I, Crime guitarist/vocalist Jennie Knaggs and drummer Charlie McCutcheon (who took over from Zoe Bell's initial stint behind the kit). After a wobbly start, it turned into a unique performance that made up in fun what it lacked in polish.
