SUMMARY:Knotfest Roadshow: Slipknot\, Killswitch Engage\, Fever 333\, Code Orange at Ak-Chin Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:Twenty years ago\, nine inspired musicians from Des Moines\, Iowa\, shattered the scope of what was possible in rock music. From the moment Slipknot emerged in 1999 with their self-titled debut\, it was clear they were like nothing the world had seen before\, but were everything they needed. Where a similarly creative act might have burned out or lost their relevance chasing mainstream acceptance\, Slipknot has only proven that an enduring commitment to hard work\, constant evolution\, their craft\, and their fans can allow a rock band to not only continue- but to actually push the envelope on what defines heavy metal\, and rock in general. With “We are Not Your Kind\,” Slipknot’s first new album in five years\, the band deliver when they are needed most. In an increasingly claustrophobic psychic landscape\, “We Are Not Your Kind” brings back the violence\, to meet the darkness blow for blow. The band’s creative strength and vision propelled “We Are Not Your Kind” to a #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart this past August. Always a global band\, the album also debuted at #1 in United Kingdom\, Australia\, Canada\, Japan\, Russia\, Mexico\, Portugal\, Ireland\, Belgium\, Finland\, Spain\, and in the Top 3 in Germany\, France\, Norway\, Italy\, Austria\, Switzerland\, the Netherlands\, and New Zealand. \n \n \nKillswitch Engage first shook the structure of heavy music upon climbing out of snowy industrialized Western Massachusetts in 2000. The band pioneered a union of thrashed-out European guitar pyrotechnics\, East Coast hardcore spirit\, on-stage hijinks\, and enlightened lyricism that set the pace for what the turn-of-the-century deemed heavy. 2002’s Alive Or Just Breathing became avowed as a definitive album\, being named among “The Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the Decade” by Decibel and celebrated by everyone from Metal Hammer to Revolver. They also garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations in the category of “Best Metal Performance” in 2005 and 2014 and gold certifications for The End of Heartache [2004] and As Daylight Dies [2006]. The group landed three consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 with Killswitch Engage [2009]\, Disarm The Descent [2013]\, and their career high best bow at #6 with Incarnate [2016]. The latter two releases would also both capture #1 on the Top Rock Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Their total streams have exceeded half-a-billion to date. \n2019 represents another turning point. The quintet—Adam Dutkiewicz [lead guitar]\, Joel Stroetzel [rhythm guitar]\, Mike D’Antonio [bass]\, Justin Foley [drums]\, and Jesse Leach [vocals]—sharpen every side of this signature sound on their eighth full-length and first for Metal Blade\, Atonement. \n \n \nRebellion needed a soundtrack. It got that and a whole lot more from FEVER 333. Rallying around a mission of “art as activism” in 2017\, the group first publicly assembled with an unpermitted D333MONSTRATION in front of a South Central Los Angeles landmark—ducking out before the cops came\, but leaving a mark on the streets of their hometown. Shockwaves rippled through the culture. The title track of their MADE AN AMERICA EP scored a 2019 GRAMMY® Award nod in the category of “Best Rock Performance.” Their full-length Roadrunner Records/333 Wreckords Crew debut LP\, STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS\, toppled 60 million total streams. KERRANG! (UK) christened it\, “The best debut album of 2019\,” honored the group with “Best Song” at the 2019 KERRANG! Awards\, and included them on the magazine cover alongside Metallica\, Jimmy Page\, Ghost\, and Skunk Anansie. Not to mention\, they have collaborated with everyone from POPPY to RUN-D.M.C. and Vic Mensa. In addition to selling out headline D333MONSTRATIONS everywhere\, they ignited the stages of Lollapalooza South America\, AfroPunk\, Reading\, Download UK and more. Standing up alongside the people\, they regularly participate in activism with a focus on community\, charity\, and change. FEVER 333 vocalist Jason Aalon Butler created the Walking In My Shoes Foundation to benefit organizations that generate empathy\, understanding\, and change within the communities they serve.

SUMMARY:Flogging Molly & Violent Femmes at Mesa Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles-based seven-piece Flogging Molly are an interesting mix of traditional Irish music and spunky punk rock. Former Fastway acoustic guitarist/frontman and Dublin native Dave King formed the band with fiddle player Bridget Regan\, guitarist Dennis Casey\, accordion player (and former pro skateboarder) Matt Hensley\, bassist Nathen Maxwell\, drummer George Schwindt\, and mandolinist Bob Schmidt. Getting their start playing regularly at the L.A. bar Molly Malones\, Flogging Molly eventually took their music to the road; their explosive and passionate live show was the heart of the band\, after all\, and they toured relentlessly around the world throughout their career. Their rowdy folk-rock punk revival sound has been compared to the likes of other Irish bands such as the Pogues and Black 47\, but the raucous septet opted for its own unique brashness that defied genre lines. \nFlogging Molly released their debut\, Swagger\, in March 2000 on Side One Dummy and followed up two years later with Drunken Lullabies. Crafting exuberant anthems to raise up a full Guinness to\, King often used personal touchstones — such as his childhood in a war-torn Ireland\, his father’s premature death\, and an eight-year exile in the United States — for the band’s compelling lyrical content. Within a Mile of Home appeared in September 2004\, and the band continued to hit the road hard in support. The DVD documentary Whiskey on a Sunday was issued in July 2006; it was a candid look at Flogging Molly as both a band and seven individuals\, and came with a ten-song CD of acoustic and live tracks. In early 2007\, as the group geared up for a U.S. headlining run\, Hensley amicably departed to spend more time with his family. \nIn March 2007\, Flogging Molly released the Complete Control Sessions EP. Their fourth studio album\, Float\, followed a year later. The band then hit the road\, documenting the tour in 2010 with the release of Live at the Greek Theatre. Eventually they settled back into the studio with producer Ryan Hewitt\, and the following year released their fifth album\, Speed of Darkness. Prior to the recording\, original drummer Schwindt was replaced by Mike Alonso\, who had formerly played with King in the hard rock band Katmandu. Flogging Molly continued to tour over the next several years\, and began curating their annual Salty Dog Cruise\, which set sail each year over St. Patrick’s Day. They eventually returned to the studio\, heading to Dublin to record their sixth album\, Life Is Good\, which was released in early 2017. ~ MacKenzie Wilson\, Rovi \n \n \nThe textbook American cult band of the 1980s\, the Violent Femmes captured the essence of teen angst with remarkable precision; raw and jittery\, the trio’s music found little commercial success but nonetheless emerged as the soundtrack for the lives of troubled adolescents the world over. Their self-titled 1983 debut was a blueprint for legions of sardonic alternative rockers that would follow\, and they continued their blend of searing\, darkly humorous lyrics and sharp-edged folk-rock on other standout albums like 1991’s Why Do Birds Sing? \nThe Violent Femmes formed in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, in the early ’80s\, made up of singer/guitarist Gordon Gano\, bassist Brian Ritchie\, and percussionist Victor DeLorenzo. After being discovered by the Pretenders‘ James Honeyman-Scott while they were busking on the street\, the band signed to Slash and issued their self-titled debut\, a melodic folk-punk collection which struck an obvious chord with young listeners who felt a strong connection to bitter\, frustrated songs like “Blister in the Sun\,” “Kiss Off\,” and “Add It Up.” Though never a chart hit\, the album remained a rite of passage for succeeding generations of teen outsiders\, and after close to a decade in release\, it finally achieved platinum status. \nWith 1984’s Hallowed Ground\, Gano‘s lyrics began to reflect his devout Baptist upbringing\, while the Femmes’ music approached more traditional folk and country structures. Produced by Talking Heads‘ Jerry Harrison\, 1986’s The Blind Leading the Naked advanced toward a more mainstream sound; a cover of the T. Rex chestnut “Children of the Revolution” even became a minor hit. After the record’s release\, the Femmes temporarily disbanded: Gano recorded a self-titled 1987 album with his gospel side project the Mercy Seat\, while Ritchie issued a series of solo LPs including 1987’s The Blend and 1989’s Sonic Temple & Court of Babylon for SST. (I See a Noise appeared on Dali Records in 1990.) In 1989\, the group resurfaced with 3\, followed by 1991’s Why Do Birds Sing?\, which featured the Femmes’ deconstructionist cover of Culture Club‘s “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?” \nFollowing the release of the 1993 compilation Add It Up (1981-1993)\, DeLorenzo exited the Violent Femmes to resume the solo career he began two years prior with the release of Peter Corey Sent Me; his sophomore effort\, Pancake Day\, appeared in 1996. Former Oil Tasters and BoDeans drummer Guy Hoffman was tapped as DeLorenzo’s replacement in time to record 1994’s New Times for Elektra Records\, which proved their sole release for the label. Rock!!!!! was released in 1995 on Mushroom Records only in Australia; the live Viva Wisconsin followed on the American indie label Beyond in 1999\, trailed early the next year by a new studio effort\, Freak Magnet. In the spring of 2001\, the Femmes released their first MP3-only album\, Something’s Wrong\, through the website EMusic.com; it collected an assortment of rarities\, including covers\, acoustic live tracks\, alternate versions\, demos\, and the like. In 2002\, Rhino/Slash reissued their debut as a two-disc deluxe edition that featured 22 previously unreleased tracks\, followed by Permanent Record: The Very Best Of in 2005. \nThe Violent Femmes closed out 2005 with a New Year’s Eve show featuring all three original members and Guy Hoffman. This union was punctured in 2007 when Ritchie filed a lawsuit against Gano\, seeking proper accounting of royalties while also claiming he was denied credit for songwriting; additionally\, he stated Gano licensed “Blister in the Sun” for use in a Wendy’s commercial without permission. During the lawsuit\, the Violent Femmes managed to release a single — a cover of Gnarls Barkley‘s “Crazy\,” appearing in June of 2008 — but the tensions caused the group to split in 2009. Ritchie and Gano settled out of court in 2012 and the Violent Femmes reunited in 2013\, playing a number of shows\, including a slot at that year’s Coachella festival\, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their landmark debut. Following these shows\, drummer Victor DeLorenzo departed acrimoniously — in a statement\, he claimed “In regards to my history with the Violent Femmes\, the dream never quite got there” — and was swiftly replaced by Brian Viglione\, a drummer with the Dresden Dolls. Over the next couple of years\, this lineup played frequently and released a four-song EP for Record Store Day in 2015\, a teaser for the full-length We Can Do Anything in 2016. By the time that album appeared in March 2016\, Viglione had resigned from the band. John Sparrow signed on as the Femmes’ drummer in time for the tour supporting We Can Do Anything; recordings from the tour were compiled into a 2017 live album\, 2 Mics & the Truth. In 2019 the band returned with their tenth studio album Hotel Last Resort. The album’s punchy sound and direct songwriting was reminiscent of their earliest work\, but they expanded their palette to include multi-instrumentalist Blaise Garza as well as opening up a few songs for guest spots by both skateboarding celebrity Stefan Janoski and guitar legend Tom Verlaine. ~ Jason Ankeny\, Rovi

SUMMARY:KISS at Ak-Chin Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in the campy theatrics of Alice Cooper and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers the New York Dolls\, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the ’70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss\, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup\, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice\, smoke bombs\, elaborate lighting\, blood spitting\, and fire breathing that captured the imaginations of thousands of kids. But Kiss’ music shouldn’t be dismissed — it was a commercially potent mix of anthemic\, fist-pounding hard rock driven by sleek hooks and ballads powered by loud guitars\, cloying melodies\, and sweeping strings. It was a sound that laid the groundwork for both arena rock and the pop-metal that dominated rock in the late ’80s. \nKiss was the brainchild of Gene Simmons (bass\, vocals) and Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar\, vocals)\, former members of the New York-based hard rock band Wicked Lester; the duo brought in drummer Peter Criss through his ad in Rolling Stone\, while guitarist Ace Frehley responded to an advertisement in The Village Voice. Even at their first Manhattan concert in 1973\, the group’s approach was theatrical\, and Flipside producer Bill Aucoin offered the band a management deal after the show. Two weeks later\, the band was signed to Neil Bogart’s fledgling record label\, Casablanca. Kiss released their self-titled debut in February of 1974; it peaked at number 87 on the U.S. charts. By April of 1975\, the group had released three albums and had been touring America constantly\, building up a sizable fan base. \nCulled from those numerous concerts\, Alive! (released in the fall of 1975) made the band rock & roll superstars; it climbed into the Top Ten and its accompanying single\, “Rock ‘N’ Roll All Nite\,” made it to number 12. Their follow-up\, Destroyer\, was released in March of 1976 and became the group’s first platinum album; it also featured their first Top Ten single\, Peter Criss‘ power ballad “Beth.” Kiss mania was in full swing; thousands of pieces of merchandise hit the marketplace (including pinball machines\, makeup and masks\, and board games)\, and the group had two comic books released by Marvel as well as a live-action TV movie\, Kiss Meet the Phantom of the Park. A 1977 Gallup poll named Kiss the most popular band in America. The group was never seen in public without wearing their makeup\, and their popularity was growing by leaps and bounds; the membership of the Kiss Army\, the band’s fan club\, was in the six figures. \nEven such enormous popularity had its limits\, though\, and the band reached them in 1978\, when all four members released solo albums on the same day in October. Simmons‘ record was the most successful\, reaching number 22 on the charts\, yet all of them made it into the Top 50. Dynasty\, released in 1979\, continued their streak of platinum albums\, yet it was their last record with the original lineup — Criss left in 1980. Kiss Unmasked\, released in the summer of 1980\, was recorded with session drummer Anton Fig; Criss‘ true replacement\, Eric Carr\, joined the band in time for their 1980 world tour. Kiss Unmasked was their first record since Destroyer to fail to go platinum\, and 1981’s Music from the Elder\, their first album recorded with Carr\, didn’t even go gold — it couldn’t even climb past number 75 on the charts. Ace Frehley left the band after its release; he was replaced by Vinnie Vincent in 1982. Vincent‘s first album with the group\, 1982’s Creatures of the Night\, fared better than Music from the Elder\, yet it couldn’t make it past number 45 on the charts. \nSensing it was time for a change\, Kiss dispensed with their makeup for 1983’s Lick It Up. The publicity worked\, as the album became their first platinum record in four years. Animalize\, released the following year\, was just as successful\, and the group essentially recaptured their niche. Vincent left after Animalize and was replaced by Mark St. John\, although St. John was soon taken ill with Reiter’s Syndrome and left the band. Bruce Kulick became Kiss’ new lead guitarist in 1984. For the rest of the decade\, Kiss turned out a series of best-selling albums\, culminating in the early 1990 hit ballad “Forever\,” which was their biggest single since “Beth.” Kiss was scheduled to record a new album with their old producer\, Bob Ezrin\, in 1990 when Eric Carr became severely ill with cancer; he died in November of 1991 at the age of 41. Kiss replaced him with Eric Singer and recorded Revenge (1992)\, their first album since 1989; it was a Top Ten hit and went gold. Kiss followed it with the release of Alive III the following year; it performed respectably\, but was not up to the standards of their two previous live records. \nIn 1996\, the original lineup of Kiss — featuring Simmons\, Stanley\, Frehley\, and Criss — reunited to perform an international tour\, complete with their notorious makeup and special effects. The tour was one of the most successful of 1996\, and in 1998 the reunited group issued Psycho Circus. While the ensuing tour in support of Psycho Circus was a success\, sales of Kiss’ reunion album weren’t as stellar as anticipated. Reminiscent of the band’s unfocused late-’70s period\, few tracks on Psycho Circus featured all four members playing together (most tracks were supplemented with session musicians)\, as the band seemed more interested in flooding the marketplace with merchandise yet again instead of making the music their top priority. With rumors running rampant that the Psycho Circus Tour would be their last\, the quartet announced in the spring of 2000 that they would be launching a U.S. farewell tour in the summer\, which became one of the year’s top concert draws. But on the eve of a Japanese and Australian tour in early 2001\, Peter Criss suddenly left the band once again\, supposedly discontent with his salary. Taking his place was previous Kiss drummer Eric Singer\, who in a controversial move for some longtime fans\, donned Criss‘ cat-man makeup (since Simmons and Stanley own both Frehley and Criss‘ makeup designs\, there was no threat of a lawsuit) as the farewell tour continued. \nWith the band scheduled to call it a day (supposedly) by late 2001\, a mammoth career-encompassing box set was set for later in the year\, while the summer saw perhaps the most over-the-top piece of Kiss merchandise yet — the “Kiss Kasket.” The group was relatively quiet throughout the rest of the year\, but 2002 started with a bang as Gene Simmons turned in an entertaining and controversial interview on NPR where he criticized the organization and berated host Terry Gross with sexual comments and condescending answers. He was promoting his autobiography at the time\, which also caused dissent in the Kiss camp because of inflammatory remarks made toward Ace Frehley. Frehley subsequently declined to appear at an American Bandstand anniversary show; his place was taken by a wig-wearing Tommy Thayer\, and Simmons was quick to dismiss the performance as another in a long series of money-oriented decisions. The band kept touring the globe with no new album in stores\, but in 2008 they returned to the studio\, re-recorded their hits\, and released Jigoku-Retsuden aka KISSology or Kiss Klassics (the release was initially exclusive to Japan). \nIn spring of 2009\, the band began recording their first studio album in 11 years\, and released the results in October with the title Sonic Boom. Produced by Paul Stanley and Greg Collins\, the album was exclusively distributed in North America by Wal-Mart. In 2012\, the band’s 20th studio album\, Monster\, surfaced\, rewriting the cowbell-heavy party rock of their ’70s heyday and adding some nods to the sinister metal of 1992’s Revenge. In 2014\, after 15 years of eligibility\, Kiss was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The following year they released a collaborative single with the Japanese idol group Momoiro Clover Z. In 2017\, a career-spanning single-disc best-of\, Kissworld\, was released to coincide with a massive world tour of the same name. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Greg Prato\, Rovi

SUMMARY:KORN & STAIND at Ak-Chin Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:Grammy® Award-winning\, multi-platinum band Korn have announced an epic U.S  summer tour featuring very special guests Staind on all dates. The tour will see both bands traversing the country this summer and will give fans the chance to see two of the biggest forces in rock perform on the same stage each night\, including a stop at Ak-Chin Pavilion\, September 13\, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. \nTickets (starting at $29.50 on the lawn) go on sale Friday\, May 14 at 12 p.m. at LiveNation.com or Ticketmaster.com. \nProduced by Live Nation\, the coast-to-coast 28-city outing will kick off August 5 in West Palm Beach\, FL and make stops in Long Island\, Detroit\, Irvine\, Phoenix\, Austin and more\, before wrapping up with a performance at Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion on September 21. Furthermore\, both bands will perform at Louisville\, Kentucky’s Louder Than Life Festival on September 23. \nA stunning paean to loss and darkness\, Korn’s 2019 album The Nothing proved to be another historic release for the band.  It marked their 14th Top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 and lifted them into rarified air giving them the fifth-most Top 10 debuts of any rock band in the history of the chart. Led by singles “You’ll Never Find Me\,” “Can You Hear Me\,” and “Cold\,” Noisey declared The Nothing “continues Korn’s mission of probing the hidden corners and harsh realities of life within a shroud discordant darkness.”  Revolver crowned The Nothing “Korn’s best album in over 10 years\,” while Metal Hammer affirmed the album “recaptures the genuine darkness of their earlier works” in a glowing 4.5-out-of-5 star review. The Fader added\, “Korn have never shied away from innovation… the icons have always looked forward\,” and Los Angeles Times applauded the “…deep and potent performances from the band\, evoking their ever-present rage but also feelings of loss and isolation.” NME affirmed\, “This urgent and important record will ensure the veterans don’t get lost in the shuffle.” Once again\, Korn redefine\, revitalize\, and reimagine the scope of rock music as perennial outliers and enduring iconoclasts. \nFormed in 1995\, Staind has released seven studio albums and eight Top 10 singles\, selling over 15 million records worldwide. The album Break The Cycle\, released in 2001 and RIAA certified 5x platinum\, featured the smash single “It’s Been Awhile\,” one of the most played songs in modern rock history\, spending 20 weeks at #1. In 2019 after a five-year hiatus\, Staind reunited for some unforgettable festival performances\, and a hometown reunion show at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket\, CT where their new album\, Live: It’s Been Awhile was recorded. \n \n \nIt has been said that first impressions last a lifetime. Luckily for Staind\, some only last for about 45 minutes. After a volatile disagreement with Limp Bizkit‘s Fred Durst over some of Staind‘s early cover art\, it seemed their big break had walked out the door. Fortunately\, by the time Durst had witnessed Staind‘s intense live show\, he was ready to exchange phone numbers. \nStaind‘s story began in the New England area when vocalist Aaron Lewis and guitarist Mike Mushok met at a Christmas party in 1993. Mushok was able to bring drummer Jon Wysocki into the fold\, and Lewis‘ connection with a bass player (who later left) completed the early lineup. Establishing themselves took time\, and extensive touring of the Northeast with other established metal acts helped them sell over 2\,000 copies of their self-released debut in just over a year. They were primed for their big break\, and on October 23\, 1997\, the hard work paid off. \nAt a show in Hartford\, Connecticut\, Staind were all set to open for Limp Bizkit when Bizkit singer Durst raised a stink over cover art on Staind‘s self-released CD. After a heated conversation over whether or not Staind were Satan worshipers\, Durst forcefully returned the disc to the band\, and walked away. But 45 minutes later Durst was back\, not to further the argument\, but to make sure he kept in contact with Staind. Blown away by their live show\, Durst exchanged phone numbers\, and loved their demo tape when they gave it to him. He convinced them to travel to Jacksonville\, Florida\, to work on the new songs. \nAfter reworking the new material and a successful live show\, Durst contacted the head of Flip Records and arranged a meeting for Staind with the label. While in Los Angeles\, a three-song sampler was recorded\, and by the time February rolled around in 1998\, the band had a record deal. After playing the Vans Warped Tour\, they began work on their first album\, Dysfunction. The album was produced by Terry Date (Deftones\, Pantera\, Soundgarden) and was released April 13\, 1999. A tour with Kid Rock followed that spring and later the band reunited with good friends Limp Bizkit for a summer tour. \nTheir follow-up\, Break the Cycle\, enjoyed a prolonged visit at the number one spot on U.S. charts in 2001. Smash hits like “It’s Been a While\,” “Fade\,” “For You\,” and “Epiphany” catapulted Staind into the mainstream\, leaving their 2002 DVD MTV Unplugged to go gold. Staind released 14 Shades of Grey in spring 2003\, and after a two-year break returned with the chart-topping Chapter V\, named to include their self-released debut in the Staind canon. A Singles and Videos compilation arrived in 2006\, followed by the all-new studio album Illusion of Progress in 2008\, the latter of which debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. The band’s eponymous seventh studio album\, which saw the departure of longtime drummer Jon Wysocki\, arrived on September 13\, 2011. Later that year\, the band recruited drummer Sal Giancarelli and hit the road\, documenting the tour with 2012’s Live from Mohegan Sun\, which captured the tour’s first show.

SUMMARY:Megadeth + Lamb of God at Arizona Federal Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Metal Tour Of The Year co-headlined by MEGADETH and LAMB OF GOD will lay waste to cities across North America as the highly anticipated trek finally hits the road. Joining them as previously planned will be special guests TRIVIUM\, however it has been announced today that due to international visa issues\, special guests IN FLAMES will not be able to join the tour. Fans should not fear\, joining the tour in their place will be none other than HATEBREED. Tickets and VIP packages for this most epic metal extravaganza are on-sale now from LiveNation.com.\n\nMEGADETH\, fueled by Dave Mustaine’s triumphant return to the stage following his diagnosis and recovery of throat cancer\, will finally embark on their first North American tour since 2017. Speaking on the long-awaited announcement of the rescheduled run\, MEGADETH’s leader and frontman\, Dave Mustaine says\,\n\n“Can you hear that sound of armies on the march – of destruction on the horizon? That’s this tour\, coming for you. We cannot wait to return to the stage and I promise you you do NOT want to miss these shows. You’re not going to know what hit you!”\n\nLAMB OF GOD pressed ahead with the release of their crushing self-titled album\, Lamb of God\, which was one of the best- selling metal albums of 2020. The band now looks to take the show on the road as they return to the stage for the first time since the release of the record. Randy Blythe\, inimitable frontman of LAMB OF GOD\, adds\,\n\n“It’s been far too long since we got together to do our thing— by ‘we’ I mean bands\, road crew\, bus drivers\, truck drivers\, local venue staff\, vendors\, audience\, parking lot attendants\, the freaking janitors- the whole damn enchilada. ALL OF US. TOGETHER. Everyone has been waiting\, but the time has come to put the puzzle back together— I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been more ready to hit the road with lamb of god. See y’all in a few months with Megadeth\, Trivium\, & now Hatebreed. Over a year with no live music? These shows are gonna be INSANE…”\n\n\n\nIt was over 30 years ago that Dave Mustaine founded MEGADETH\, in the process pioneering the sound that would become known the world over as thrash metal. And from the very beginning\, the band proved to be the most lethal and audacious unit on the heavy music scene\, pushing thrash to the limits of musical ferocity and instrumental virtuosity on early efforts like their 1985 debut\, Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good! and 1986’s seminal Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?.\n\nMEGADETH have taken their place as one of metal’s most influential and respected acts—not to mention among its most successful. They have gone on to sell more than 38 million albums worldwide\, earning numerous accolades including a 2017 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Metal Performance” for the title track “Dystopia\,” 12 GRAMMY® nominations\, and scoring five consecutive platinum albums. With sheer determination and a relentless recording and touring schedule\, MEGADETH worked their way up from headlining clubs to headlining arenas\, festival and stadiums\, cementing a legacy that continues to grow and spread throughout the world. MEGADETH are slated to release their 16th studio album later this year.\n\n\n\n\nLAMB OF GOD propelled heavy metal into the new millennium two decades ago with the prophetically titled New American Gospel. They followed with 2003’s As the Palaces Burn\, which made the Rolling Stone list of the Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time. Ashes of the Wake\, released in 2004\, was the first LAMB OF GOD album to be certified gold by the RIAA\, as was 2006’s Sacrament\, which also made a Top 10 Billboard 200 chart debut. In 2009\, LAMB OF GOD released Wrath\, their first with Josh Wilbur as producer\, and earned the number one album spot on Billboard’s Hard Rock\, Rock\, and Tastemaker charts\, with a number two position on the Billboard 200.\n\nThose number one positions were repeated with 2012’s Resolution\, which swung effortlessly between thrash\, traditional metal\, sludgy doom\, with flashes of crust punk swagger and bravado. LAMB OF GOD’s last album\, VII: Sturm und Drang (2015) made its debut on the Billboard 200 at number three and finished number 2 in the world charts\, reaching Top 5 in five countries and six additional Top 15 positions.\n\nIn 2020 LAMB OF GOD released their critically acclaimed self-titled opus\, the band’s best work to date\, featuring new drummer Art Cruz\, LAMB OF GOD is re-energized and unrelenting\, ready to lay claim to the metal throne.

SUMMARY:Coheed And Cambria & The Used at Mesa Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated American rock bands Coheed and Cambria and The Used today announced their upcoming summer outdoor co-headlining amphitheater tour. The 18-city U.S. tour\, produced by Live Nation\, will begin on Friday\, Aug 27 in Irvine\, CA and make stops in Phoenix\, Dallas\, Cleveland\, New Jersey\, Worcester\, and more. The late summer journey will feature special guests Meet Me @ The Altar and carolesdaughter on select dates and will culminate with performance at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville\, FL on Sept 24th. \n  \nMost tickets for the tour will go on sale to the general public beginning this Friday\, June 18th at 10AM local time at LiveNation.com. Artist pre-sales start tomorrow\, Wednesday\, February 21st at 10AM local time and will end at 10PM local time on Thursday\, June 17th. A full listing of dates can be found below along with additional information on both CoheedAndCambria.com and TheUsed.net. \n  \nIt’s been over two years since Coheed and Cambria’s 2018 album\, “Vaxis I: The Unheavenly Creatures\,” was released as the band’s “Return to concept” album. After stepping away with a more introspective album in 2015\, frontman Claudio Sanchez and the band returned to the sci-fi universe of “The Amory Wars” in what was said to be the first of a 5-part series of albums. With 2021 upon us\, and a major summer tour now announced\, the volume of fans’ chatter for “Vaxis 2” and what and when that will entail are loading up the band’s social media pages. \n  \nCoheed and Cambria is a rare band whose music can transcend “scenes” and effortlessly cross genres of rock – from indie to progressive\, to metal and pop-punk to classic rock. The band is frequently compared to progressive\, operatic rock bands of the ‘70s\, ala Queen\, Supertramp or Rush due to their thrilling concept albums that take you on a grand journey of sounds and often clock-in around 110 mins\, but still somehow include sugary pop-laden hooks. \n  \nThe group’s following has grown steadily every album\, partly due to their ferocious live show that brings fans to their knees with an equally expansive light show. This summer\, the band will be performing songs from their expansive catalog\, and we can only imagine they’ll pull a few new tricks from up their sleeves. \n  \nBoth bands began their careers 20 years ago this year and last toured together in 2003. \n  \nPainful and perverse\, intimate\, and obnoxious\, aggressively heavy and irresistibly catchy\, confusingly profound and primitively pedestrian – The Used transform songs into anthems. \n  \nThe reckless honesty and unrelenting dedication that saw The Used kick down doors at radio and MTV\, for a generation of disenfranchised post-hardcore provocateurs\, persists today. It’s newly remade with a sly shimmer that never sacrifices the band’s enchanting anarchy or restless soul. \n  \nHeartwork\, the band’s eighth studio album (2020)\, arrives with the unbound spirit of the pair of platinum albums that first introduced The Used to the world\, mixed with the dramatic flair of their gold-certified third. The emotion\, sincerity\, and vulnerability found on The Used (2002) and In Love and Death (2004) is more urgent and insistent than ever on Heartwork\, a diverse 16-song offering filled with double entendre upon triple entendre. It traverses a thematic gamut of self-examination\, hyper-literate exploration\, political pyromania\, and keenly self-aware yet unrestrained whimsy. \n \n \nEstablished in 2000\, The Used was brought to life and have since released a collection of albums that pioneered the scene of emo rock. High energy live shows\, gut wrenching relatable lyrics\, and melodies that blended pop sensibility and hard rock was the perfect combination to make an everlasting impression on fans globally. \nThe rock icons released their eighth studio album\, Heartwork\, in 2020 via Big Noise. It arrived with the unbounded spirit of the pair of platinum albums that first introduced The Used to the world\, mixed with the dramatic air of their gold-certified third. The emotion\, sincerity\, and vulnerability found on The Used (2002) and In Love and Death (2004) is more urgent and insistent than ever on Heartwork\, a diverse 16-song offering filled of self-examination\, hyper-literate exploration\, political pyromania\, and keenly self-aware yet unrestrained whimsy. The band celebrated a strong first week\, locking in #2 spots on both the Current Alternative and Record Label Independent Album charts\, #3 on both Current Rock and Top Current Album charts as well as landing in the Billboard Top 200 at the #87 spot. \nFans can stream Heartwork and purchase exclusive merch bundles today at https://theused.ffm.to/heartwork. \nThe Used is Bert McCracken (Vocals)\, Jepha (Bass)\, Dan Whitesides (Drums) and Joey Bradford (Guitar).

SUMMARY:KATASTRO "Sucker" album release show at Marquee Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Emerging alt-rock/hip-hop hybrid Katastro\, who has independently amassed over 80 million career streams\, will be celebrating the release of their new album Sucker with a hometown show on Friday\, July 23rd at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe. Sucker\, due out Friday\, July 16th via Controlled Substance Sound Labs\, features the band’s new single “The Way I Feel\,” an upbeat ode to getting over a bad breakup. PRESS HERE to listen and PRESS HERE to watch a live studio performance. Tickets for the Tempe show\, featuring support from Kash’d Out and Barefoot\, go on sale this Friday\, May 21; PRESS HERE for more info. \n  \nSucker represents a notably more mature sound for Katastro – Andy Chaves [vocals]\, Andrew Stravers [drums]\, Tanner Riccio [guitar] and Ryan Weddle [bass] – while showcasing their unique melting pot stew of rock\, hip-hop\, funk\, blues\, pop\, and reggae. The band’s fully collaborative creative approach\, and unexpected time off in 2020\, allowed for limitless possibilities. The result is a 12-song collection\, produced by Matt Keller (Lydia\, Anarbor\, Redlands)\, about the constant loop of life\, love\, hate and wanting to break the pattern. Sucker brings its listeners along on a ride\, providing a summery soundtrack and something a little more positive to look forward to when everything feels off. \n  \nKatastro first introduced this new era in their growing career with the fall 2020 release of “Way Too High\,” which pays homage to their desert roots with its unique Western vibe and accompanying music video (PRESS HERE to watch). “100 Rips\,” released in March\, truly sets the tone and direction for Sucker. The catchy cruisin’ down the highway escapade features psychedelic guitar solos pumping through a mix of hip-hop and reggae set against an intoxicating chorus – PRESS HERE to watch the official music video for “100 Rips.” Katastro’s irrepressible brand of timely\, good-time music is on full display throughout Sucker as evidenced by “One Day\,” a feel-good track about coming to terms with a broken relationship\, and the positive\, floaty vibe of “Droptop\,” which features background vocals from longtime friend Micah Brown of Iration. Sucker is available for pre-order now at all DSPs and each digital pre-save will include an instant download of “The Way I Feel\,” “100 Rips” and “Way Too High” – PRESS HERE. \n  \nFormed nearly a decade and a half ago\, Katastro\, who cite Eminem and Red Hot Chili Peppers as early influences\, dropped their first EP\, The Wonderful Daze\, in 2008 and quickly followed with their debut full-length album\, Poking Holes In A Pattern\, the following year. The quartet issued a steady stream of releases over the next ten years\, mostly all independently\, alternating full-lengths with EPs and acoustic Bones sessions. 2011’s Gentle Predator marked a live album zenith for the band and\, in 2016\, they garnered a national hit with the Strange Nights record. Katastro’s youthful party vibe started to dim as personal growth and change crept into their songwriting. Internal challenges influenced the band’s output as it turned conspicuously darker and more revealing; first with Washed [2018]\, then with the follow-up\, Tropical Heartbreak [2019]. Along the way\, Katastro has racked up tens of millions of streams from fans worldwide as well as media support from Alternative Press\, The Noise\, Substream Magazine\, Phoenix New Times and more. The four-piece has also been making an impact as a powerful live act\, headlining national tours and supporting the likes of Dirty Heads\, Sublime With Rome\, Iration\, 311\, Pepper\, The Expendables and gracing festival stages such as the One Love Cali Reggae Fest and Reggae Rise Up Festival. \n \n \nStraight out of Orlando\, FL\, Kash’d Out hits the Reggae/Rock scene with plenty of experience. The band was formed by guitarist Jackson Hauserman and producers Greg Shields & Josh Saldate of Sound Lounge Studios\, where bands such as Ballyhoo!\, Tribal Seeds and many more have recorded. Once the self-titled debut EP was complete\, they recruited Joey Brohawn on Bass and Marshall Hearne on drums\, and Nick Gudzan on Keys. Kash’d Out released their first full-length album 5/26/17 entitled “The Hookup” via LAW Records. The record reached #2 on both the Billboard and iTunes Reggae Charts and the band began touring nationally\, sharing the stage with bands like Pepper\, Less Than Jake\, The Expendables and many more. Come catch a show near you! \n \n

SUMMARY:Steel Panther at Marquee Theatre - April 2021
DESCRIPTION:This is not fake news. Right now\, somewhere\, some girl is taking her top off to the most anticipated album of 2017\, Steel Panther’s fourth full-length studio album Lower the Bar. \nSteel Panther has established themselves as the world’s premier party band\, melding hard rock virtuosity with parody and criminally good looks. Made up of Michael Starr (lead singer)\, Satchel (guitarist)\, Lexxi Foxx (bass)\, and Stix Zadinia (drums)\, the Los Angeles hair metal group does it again. They look good\, they sound good and they’re in it for the pussy. \nThe title Lower the Bar was the brainchild of Satchel. “Satchel suggested that I should lower the bar if I wanted to get laid more often\,” says Michael. Lexxi disagrees\, thinking Lower the Bar was so short people could also drink at bars. And Steel Panther hands it to them\, alcoholic midgets\, because they can’t reach over the counter. \n“It has so many meanings\,” the band admits. “There’s really no situation you can’t apply Lower the Bar to.” It can be applied to life aspirations. “You walk down the street and see people who are homeless\, sleeping in puddles of their own urine and eating pieces of cardboard and sometimes they seem perfectly happy. And sometimes I ask myself why can’t I do that. I need to set the bar as low as this person has.” \nIt can even be applied to girls. “Sometimes you get a hot girl you would’ve never expected to\, but it’s still a good idea to lower the bar. You should expect the sex to be terrible\, because a lot of hot girls are bad in bed. They just lay there. Go in knowing she’s going to be horrible and if she does anything like lick your balls and swallows that’s a win.” Everything you hear on a Steel Panther record is taken from real life. “It really is just a life story put to music.” Satchel goes on\, “We all got high and naked and drunk and then Lexxi had sex with these three girls and the rest of us watched them. That’s what we do for every record.” \nMichael values the importance of relaxing during the writing process\, “I went to the beach and wrote a song called “I love the beach.” Lexxi also wrote a song that didn’t make the cut\, “I wrote a song about the dog. It’s called “I sucked a dog’s dick\,” but I didn’t think people would like it.” \n“The name is different and we picked different songs. I think that’s something everyone can expect with this one\,” says Stix. The band has broadened their horizons topically and lyrically\, going places they haven’t gone before. Satchel adds\, “It’s not just sex\, drugs and love of rock and roll. This time it’s sex\, drug and love of rock and roll\, and partying and heavy metal.” Also\, the hair is a bit different. “I’m using different hairspray” says Lexxi. \nSteel Panther has no intention of changing their style: hair is down\, spandex is on and tits are out. They’re on a greater mission and one might want to leave their morals behind. One listen to the twisted single titled “Anything Goes” and one could not agree more. Indeed\, anything goes. More than in airport bars\, international waters\, the Wild Wild West or Steel Panther’s sex lives\, anything goes. It’s an unpredictable no holes barred fuck fest that doesn’t have to answer to anyone’s rules. \nThe music video for the first single “She’s Tight” is a sexified version of the Cheap Trick song “She’s Tight.” It delivers more pussy and partying and skin than the 1982 hit. Cameos in the video include Cheap Trick’s Rob Zander\, Bobbie Brown\, Paris Michael Jackson and Tony Palermo (Papa Roach). Guests on the record don’t end there. Rudy Sarzo\, heavy metal legend and bassist for Whitesnake and Quietriot\, slays on one of the songs. “That’s very exciting as he’s always been a rock and roll hero for us and he likes to party.” \nSteel Panther is now known as the greatest neo-metal\, glam throwback parody band\, have four full length albums\, platinum level YouTube status\, high profile television appearances\, tour across the world and are notorious. Ultimately though\, this fearsome four just hopes heavy metal can bring about world peace. “In a world of hate and despair right now it’s important to bring in the heavy metal community around the world. We hope our record will bring world peace and happiness to everyone that listens to it”\, concludes Michael. Lexxi adds\, “And maybe a few more people will try to fuck a hot midget at Niagara falls.” \n \n  \nTwo great shows in one night..
