BANG CAMARO
TICKETS: $10 ADV / $12 DOS
Boston’s Bang Camaro is more than a metal band. It is its own metal universe: a self-contained cosmos encompassing the last quarter-century of metal -- pop metal, hair metal, speed metal, thrash metal, glam metal -- writ large, proud, and loud. Yes, you’ve heard all the riffs before, back when you were a kid hanging in a heavy-metal parking lot in the ’burbs, cranking Dio or Iron Maiden . Like fellow throwbacks Waltham and Damone, Bang Camaro -- a supergroup of sorts consisting of members of some of Boston’s best past and present rock bands (the Good North, Model Sons, Taxpayer) -- is all about the good times that were shunted aside and put away as "adulthood" beckoned

CELLADOR
w/ Paria, Byleth, School of Arms, & Fury Never Fades
TICKETS: $8.00
Formed in the summer of 2004 by guitarist Chris Petersen, CELLADOR is an extreme power metal band from Omaha, NE, whose members’ ages range from a mere 17 to 23 years old. CELLADOR was founded with the intent of introducing aggressive European influenced melodic speed/power metal to the Midwest USA, where the style is relatively nonexistent. CELLADOR spent the fall and winter months of 2004 writing, rehearsing and, by March 2005, began playing live. By May of 2005 Cellador had released the demo Leaving All Behind. An opening slot in their home-town for Metal Blade act The Black Dahlia Murder would present the guys in Cellador with their first significant break. Trevor Strnad, vocalist for THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and all around underground metal expert, passed Cellador’s demo on to Metal Blade Records owner Brain Slagel. Impressed by their skill and musicianship, Brian Slagel offered the band a contract making them Metal Blade Records’ first US based power metal signings in years.
BUCKETHEAD
w/ That 1 Guy
TICKETS: SOLD OUT!!!
Buckethead is an American guitarist and composer. He is known for wearing a white plastic mask and a KFC bucket on his head and for being a quiet individual who rarely if ever gives interviews. If an interview is given all questions are answered by Buckethead's rubber hand puppet "Herbie". He is a prolific composer, having released 38 solo albums and performed on over 50 more. He has also made a guest appearance on 44 different albums from various artists. His music spans across diverse areas such as thrash metal, funk, electronica, jazz and avant-garde music. Although a multi-instrumentalist (playing bass guitar, banjo, keyboards, ukulele, organ, violin, clarinet, saxophone, recorder, drums, gong, and piano), Buckethead is best known for his electric guitar playing, characterized by diverse playing styles spanning thrash guitar, fingerpicking, and slap guitar. Although Buckethead now works primarily as a solo artist touring the United States with a trio, he has had a wide variety of high profile collaborations with such artists as Les Claypool, Tony Williams, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Iggy Pop, Serj Tankian, Guns N' Roses, Saul Williams, Mike Patton, Viggo Mortensen and with Bill Laswell on Praxis.
DAVID ALLAN COE
w/ Forty Twenty
TICKETS: $25.00
A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe was one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he didn't have many big hits -- only three of his singles hit the Top Ten -- but he was among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Although Coe had a successful career, it was one plagued with many setbacks. The conservative Nashville music industry frequently snubbed him and he had tax problems with the IRS; at one time, they seized his Key West home, and he went to live in a Tennessee cave until he got back on his feet. Toward the end of the '80s, Coe remarried and began to settle down. Throughout the '90s, he was a popular concert attraction in America and Europe. In addition to his musical career, he also acted in a few movies, including The Last Days of Frank and Jesse James. He also published a novel, Psychopath, and an autobiography. The LP Recommended for Airplay was issued in 1999. The new millennium saw the release of Long Haired Country Boy in 2000; Songwriter of the Tear appeared on Cleveland the following year

MC CHRIS
w/ The Age Of Rockets
TICKETS: $12 ADV / $14 DOS
MC Chris is not a name you may know, but to thousands of kids in packed venues all over the United States in 2005, MC Chris is the spokesperson they've been waiting for. MC Chris is positioned at the forefront of a new genre of music, the emerging style of Nerdcore, a subset of homemade indie hip hop acts that saturate their computer based music with nerd culture (video game/sci-fi underdog anthems.) Starting in 2001, without a record deal or distribution, MC Chris decided that his first album should be released for free via his website (where it is still available today). The record, entitled "Life's a Bitch and I'm Her Pimp" was shared online by countless numbers of fans who knew of mc through Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming lineup where he was a featured artist, writer and actor. Video games and super heroes have always been hot but now it's more acceptable than ever in American Culture for all kinds of people to find their inner nerd. That is why there is no one type of MC Chris fan, (although 18-35 male is a pretty good guess,) he is the everyman's underdog.

BLOODCOW
w/ Back When, Black Skies, & The Clincher
TICKETS: $7 at the door
Omaha’s infamous five-piece Bloodcow blends elements of old school punk, NWOBHM, and, as their name implies, loud-as-fuck, drag-you-squealing-through-sludge rock n’roll. With an uncommon attention to material (memorable melodies, guitar and vocal harmonies, odd time signatures…) and an unforgettable emphasis on delivery—stick twirling, leg kicking, power sliding—Bloodcow is absolutely refreshing in the modern, live metal scene. 2007 marks the year of their third, full-length release, Bloodcow III: Hail Xenu, a ten-track campaign through Viking barges and cult classic horrors, drenched in bewitching myths and cosmic lore. Bloodcow has toured the midwest and east coast over the past two years but will focus on the midwest and southwest for 2007 and early 2008, leaving in their wake Austin, Texas’ “South by Southwest.” You can’t spot the five members of Bloodcow looking for young kids with expensive haircuts or flamboyant clothes. Bloodcow, when you’re looking for them, are the five assholes hauling their own gear, asking about the nearest place with some cheap, cold beer.
Monday, 6/30/08 7:00PM @ Sokol Auditorium
AS I LAY DYING
w/ Norma Jean, August Burns Red, & Maylene and the Sons of Disaster
TICKETS: $20.00
As I Lay Dying is a California metal-hardcore crossover band from San Diego, CA. The group formed as a trio in 2001 with vocalist Tim Lambesis, drummer Jordan Mancino, and guitarist Evan White, and shortly thereafter released Beneath the Encasing of Ashes. A split CD with the American Tragedy followed the next year. In 2003 the band signed with Metal Blade and released Frail Words Collapse. After the album's release, White left the band and the remaining core of the group, Lambesis and Mancino, drafted two guitarist to replace him, Phil Sgrosso and Nick Hipa, and also landed a bass player in Clint Norris. The new lineup recorded Shadows Are Security, released in 2005. As I Lay Dying next issued A Long March: The First Recordings in May 2006, which included their 2001 out of print debut, along with two versions of their songs from the 2002 American Tragedy split. The band then spent that summer on the Sounds of the Underground metal-hardcore tour alongside acts like In Flames, GWAR, Trivium, and Cannibal Corpse. Soon after, Clint Norris left to pursue life as a family man and Josh Gilbert replaced him on bass. With the addition of Gilbert's vocal harmonies, the band's sound became more melodic, and in August 2007, the group released their fourth album, An Ocean Between Us.

WITCHCRAFT
w/ Dead Child
TICKETS: $8.00
The Swedish retro-doom-psych-folk band known as Witchcraft was started in 2000 by vocalist/guitarist Magnus Pelander, whose original intent was to record a single in tribute to Pentagram's Bobby Liebling and Roky Erickson -- how often does that happen? Then, encouraged by the results, he continued to compose material for Witchcraft while his bandmates pursued other interests. A year would pass before they reconvened as Witchcraft, and with new drummer Jonas Arnesen in tow, the quartet began preparing their eponymous debut album for release through Rise Above the following year. Recorded in a basement studio outfitted exclusively with vintage equipment, the album captured a hauntingly authentic 1970s sound -- steeped not only in the heavy-handed work of Black Sabbath and Pentagram, but also in the psych and folk-rock elements of obscure acts like Leaf Hound, Captain Beyond, and Comus. And yet, ironically, none of the members of Witchcraft were even born before 1977, making their loving reconstruction of that decade's music -- underground music at that -- all the more remarkable |
