Modwheelmood + Phoenecia
$12 advance, $15 door, 18+, 8pm

You've entered a state of emotional turbulence, languishing one moment and inexplicably blithe the next. But before you call up your shrink, try reaching for the volume. This isn't your Bi-Polar disorder flaring up - this is Modwheelmood.

Modwheelmood is led by Alessandro Cortini, currently a member of Nine Inch Nails and by guitarist Pelle Hillström. The two have performed together for nearly six years. Their sound is best described as alternative pop electronica, yet a stimulating departure from the typical laptop based bands who label themselves as electronica.

And what else could you expect from a duo whose backgrounds are so different you wonder how they find any common ground at all. Yet a brilliant balance is achieved somewhere in the chasm separating their diverse elements - between despair and hope, narcotic and elevated, pain and pleasure. You don't know where you're going next, but the hypnotic lure is inescapable. Read more....

Teenage Bottlerocket + The Ridicules
7:00pm, All Ages

Following the dissolution of Laramie, WY, pop-punks the Lillingtons, vocalist/guitarist Kody Templeman was hardly done with music, moving on to form the similarly minded Teenage Bottlerocket, another group of rambunctious, Ramones and Screeching Weasel-loving punks. Templeman was joined by guitarist Joel Pattinson and identical twin brothers Ray (vocals/bass) and Brandon Carlisle (drums). Recording over at Fort Collins' the Blasting Room, the guys released their debut full-length, Total, in March 2005 through San Francisco-based Red Scare (the same label that later issued some Lillingtons records). The super-charged album was enthusiastically embraced by fans, and a bunch of touring followed, both home and abroad, including dates with the Groovie Ghoulies and summer 2006 shows with the Epoxies

KMFDM
$19.95 Advance, 8pm, 18+ Welcome

Spawned in Germany during 1984, KMFDM pioneered the crossover between techno/dance and heavy metal with their signature industrial sound. Moving to Chicago in the mid-80's KMFDM was the pride of WaxTrax! Records during the label’s peak. Rapidly evolving year by year through intense experimentation and touring; the band has redefined themselves with each new release. Venturing on to dabble in side projects and then re-establish KMFDM in Seattle during 1999, Sascha’s revolving band of misfits have stood the test of time. KMFDM is currently helmed by the dual vocal attack of the band’s founder / leader, Sascha and the siren-voiced Lucia. To quote themselves, “The future belongs to those of us still willing to get our hands dirty”. Living by their D.I.Y. philosophy, KMFDM has launched their own online store, KMFDM Store (www.kmfdmstore.com) and record label, (KMFDM Records). KMFDM remain a musical entity to be reckoned with. Through relentless musical exploration and reinvention they have continued to top themselves. KMFDM’s forthcoming 2009 album, Blitz, is no exception. And now KMFDM has announced . . . Skold vs. KMFDM! Skold vs KMFDM is the new 22 track album by Tim Skold and Sascha Konietzko. It will be released early in 2009 on KMFDM Records exclusively through the KMFDM Store in fan-friendly CD, audiophile Vinyl and high quality MP3 formats. As further evidence that their 25th year, 2009, will be one to remember, the band are set to hit a number of festival and headlining dates across Europe. Then they will make their way back to the US and Canada for more stops on the Kein Mitleid Tour 2009.
