SHATTERPROOF w/ Narcotic Self, Both Guns Blazing, & Blessed Are The Merciless TICKETS: $8.00 Shatterproof is a metalcore Nebraska band from Omaha, NE. The group formed as guitarist Scott Ray, drummer Ryan Lang, bassist Justin Valentine, lead guitarist Jake Loehr, and vocalist Shane Heim. After a few months, Justin and Shane had left the band with bassist Cody Mason and vocalist Ryan Crawford filling in to complete the line-up. The band went out to put it's mark on the scene by playing any show they could play in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area. In August of 2006, Ryan Crawford and the band mutually split and the search for a vocalist was on. Three months later, Derrek Sammons was the first try-out for the band and ultimately got the spot automatically. Since then, The band has shared the same stage with great local metal veterans such as: Venaculas, Narcotic Self, Stigmata, Facecage, Both Guns Blazing, and etc. The band also has opened up for national bands such as: Divine Heresy, Light This City, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Faceless, Kataklysm, and many more. Shatterproof brings the in-your-face vocals, crunching riffs, thunderous bass lines, and the pounding double kick that all metal heads and hard rockers crave. Their songs are described to be very addictive with catchy choruses, memorable lyrics, soaring solos, and breakdowns that'll make you throw down! The band is currently supporting it's debut self-titled EP which is being released August 2008. Sunday, 9/14/08 8:00PM @ The Waiting Room WHITECHAPEL w/ Through The Eyes of the Dead, Impending Doom, & A Different Breed of Killer TICKETS: $12.00 Started in February of 2006, Whitechapel quickly gained the attention of the underground scene in the US and Europe with relentless touring and face-melting, neck-snapping tunes. Ever since their inception Whitechapel have been turning heads, whether it be by word of mouth, online, or through their devastating live show. With the line up of the band at its strongest and best it has ever been, the release of their highly anticipated full length album entitled The Somatic Defilement (Candlelight USA), and their freshly inked deal with Metal Blade Records, there is nothing that can stop them now. Look for Whitechapel on tour throughout the rest of 2007 in support of their latest album The Somatic Defilement (Candlelight USA). Whitechapel’s Metal Blade Records debut will be out in stores and online everywhere in 2008. Tuesday, 9/16/08 8:00PM @ Sokol Auditorium JONNY LANG TICKETS: $27.00 Lang started playing the guitar at the age of twelve, after his father took him to see the Bad Medicine Blues Band, one of the few blues bands in Fargo. Lang soon started taking guitar lessons from Ted Larsen, the Bad Medicine Blues Band's guitar player. Several months after Lang started guitar lessons, he joined the Bad Medicine Blues Band, which was then renamed Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang. The band moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota and independently released the album Smokin. Lang was signed to A&M Records in 1996. He released the critically acclaimed multi-platinum Lie to Me on January 28, 1997. The next album, Wander This World, was released on October 20, 1998 and earned a Grammy nomination. This was followed by the more soulful Long Time Coming on October 14, 2003. Lang also made a cover of Edgar Winter's "Dying to Live." Lang's newest album, the gospel-influenced Turn Around, was released in 2006, and most recently won Lang his first Grammy Award Thursday, 9/18/08 9:00PM @ Slowdown APOCALYPTICA TICKETS: $18 ADV / $20 DOS There aren't many rock bands on this planet that wouldn't like to be regarded as unique. Of course, in these times of nostalgia and endlessly recycled ideas, very few actually deserve that description. Finland's Apocalyptica deserve it more than most. Utterly original in every respect, these classically-trained merchants of genre-shattering metal sound quite unlike anything or anyone else in musical history. Formed in the early '90s Apocalyptica chose an entirely individual path from day one. A few years earlier, while students at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, these young virtuosos joined a cello band that specialised in playing music by everyone from Bach to Hendrix. However, Eicca Toppinen and his three comrades had something louder in mind. All fans of heavy metal, they decided to form their own band. Toppinen wrote some unique arrangements of songs by Metallica, Slayer and other metallic legends. Apocalyptica were an overnight success in their native land, embraced by a surprisingly large audience that contained both die-hard metal fans and chin-stroking classical aficionados. It might seem a peculiar combination, but for the band the two genres have a logical and natural relationship. Inspired by their sudden and surprising rise to prominence, Apocalyptica spent the rest of the '90s riding a towering wave of creativity and earning themselves a formidable reputation as a jaw-dropping live act. Friday, 9/19/08 9:00PM @ The Waiting Room FORTY TWENTY TICKETS: $7 at the door Take a couple of country boys, a rhythm section with a punk-rock background, add a multi-talented guitar player, and you’ve got Forty Twenty, a young, energetic group of musicians playing the songs they’ve written and the songs they grew up on. With slogans like “So Country It’ll Make You Puke,” and “Purveyors of Fine Music,” Forty Twenty manages to seamlessly transition from honky-tonk originals to metal covers (and back again) with a breakneck speed and ferocious intensity that somehow makes sense. “It’s kinda like a punk show, only way twangier,” said Jedd Beaudoin of F5 Magazine. Currently touring in support of its debut studio album, “Lowdown and Dirty,” Forty Twenty has performed live on radio stations and shared the stage with numerous national acts ­ including BR549, Hank Williams III, and the Dera. Wednesday, 9/24/08 9:00PM @ Slowdown BUCKETHEAD w/ That 1 Guy TICKETS: $22 ADV / $25 DOS 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.
