 In Detroit's concert scene this FRIDAY, Droid hits Harpos with Ill Nino and Bobaflex. After fans responded quite well by tearing up the sod
during their set at Family Values this past summer, the Long Beach
quintet hopes that the same love on their tour with New Jersey
nu-metal mainstays Ill Nino. Songs like “The Resurrection”
and “Fueled By Hate” are aggro-metal down to its core,
and will open up a pit in no time flat. The band is currently signed to Korn’s Munky Shaffer’s Emotional Syphon record label.
There were rumors swirling around that there was a falling out
between Shaffer and the members of Droid, but those rumors were
squashed almost immediately. Led by the furious voice of James Eason,
Droid is one of those bands that is on the forefront of the
underground of metal at this moment, but one can tell that the right
song could send them into the Lamb of God/ Killswitch Engage sales
territory of the new metal movement. Droid is sure to be a
wild addition to this bill along with the only band I can ever think of that came out of West Virginia, Bobaflex . Ill Nino headlines the
bill, supporting their upcoming album, Enigma. The
record, their first with Cement Shoes Records, has been delayed until
sometime in February. But in the meantime, songs like “When It
Cuts” and “This Time’s For Real” will satisfy
fans. Tickets are $15 and are
available at www.ticketmaster.com. Also Friday night, North Mississippi All
Stars will play St. Andrew’s Hall check out the SPOTLIGHT for more info on this band show.
Wow, 1998 called and they want their tour back! SATURDAY's biggest show in town will be a little bit of a throwback as Matchbox Twenty & Alanis Morrisette play The Palace of Auburn Hills. Even though Matchbox 20 lead singer Rob Thomas went onto solo success, Matchbox continues to sell records and survive throughout an entire decade. Meanwhile, Morrisette continues to please fans of the 90s style of estrogen driven rock, but that doesn’t mean it has translated into massive sales in this decade. Tickets range from $49.50 to $79.50 and are available at www.palacenet.com. South Carolina's Emery plays St. Andrew’s
Hall. The band has received a lot of exposure from
Warped Tour and tireless touring around the States. Their latest album I’m Only A Man is out on Tooth and Nail
Records. Mayday Parade and As Cities Burn are opening. Tickets are $15 and are
available at www.ticketmaster.com. No Shows on SUNDAY. It's the Super Bowl, Duh! What
else would you be doing on Super Bowl Sunday? Tom Brady & Company hope to make
it their 4th Super Bowl title in 7 seven as the Pats take on
the Giants. Didn’t we see this game a month or so ago? We’re
taking the Patriots by a bunch, even with Brady’s bad foot and
all. The game is in Arizona.
No, we don’t have tickets and neither do you.< |
