This is a crazy
week for concerts, so pick and choose wisely!
There’s four shows
going on tonight, Friday, June 22. My pick is the quality 80s revival roadshow
headlined by Jack Russell’s Great White,
also featuring Faster Pussycat, BulletBoys, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Lillian
Axe. Lillian Axe starts the show early at 7:00, so get there early! If
radio-friendly hard rock is your thing, Collective
Soul plays at The Brick in Minneapolis. Local band Severah has a show at G.B. Leighton’s Pickle Park in Fridley, and
Station 4 in St. Paul is hosting 15 sick death metal bands (headlined by Face Of Oblivion).
This weekend brings
the first annual River’s Edge Music Festival to Harriet Island in St. Paul.
Local media have been slobbering over this for a while, but unless you’re a
major Tool fan this is a steaming
pile of crap. Tool headlines the first day, Saturday, June 23, in what is being
billed as their only North American show this year. Coheed and Cambria is midway down the bill, but there’s nothing
else of even remote interest to metal fans. It gets worse on Sunday, June 24,
despite the appearance of Pusifer,
with the Dave Matthews Band
headlining.
There’s also a
couple worthwhile local shows on Saturday. Throw
The Fight continues their assault of area clubs this month with show at
Dean’s Tavern in St. Paul. Meanwhile, Screaming
Mechanical Brain, Gabriel And The
Apocalypse, Dead Horse Trauma, Dead Bundy And The Neat Neat Neats, and
Reaping Asmodia team up for a show
at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis.
On Sunday, June 24 Korn invades Myth in St. Paul in
support of their controversial new album, The
Path Of Totality, with support from Sluggo
and J Devil. That same night, the
Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis is hosting Valient Thorr, Holy Grail,
Royal Thunder, and The Kickass.
Locals Saints Hesitation, Dark Cell, Ambrotos, Apothecary, Sinful Angel, and Paradise
Falls perform Monday, June 25 at Station 4 in St. Paul.
An unusual bill of Volbeat, Hellyeah, and Iced Earth
lands at Myth in St. Paul on Tuesday, June 26.
Finishing off the
week are progressive metal legends Dream
Theater with Crimson ProjeKct at
the State Theatre in downtown Minneapolis.
