In Concert This Week - June 29, 2012

It’s kind of a slow week for metal shows, but here’s what’s going on around The Cities.

If you didn’t get your fix of 80s metal at the Jack Russell’s Great White, Faster Pussycat, BulletBoys, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Lillian Axe show last week, head to Station 4 in St. Paul tonight, Friday, June 29 for Dokken, Hoodlum Johnny, The Grand Machine, and Next To Nothing. Other notable shows tonight include Heart and Joan Jett And The Blackhearts at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, and Empires, The Lighthouse And The Whaler, and Black Church Service at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis.

Gritty rockers Black Cobra and Gaza team up with local instrumental heroes Zebulon Pike on Sunday, July 1 at the Turf Club in St. Paul.

Lastly, local punk stalwarts Dillinger Four return to the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis for July 4 show this Wednesday with Frozen Teens, Brain Tumors, Turkish Techno, and Victory. Dillinger Four’s show usually sell out so get your tickets in advance while you can.
