Welcome to Hell: it's been that hot, and there are that many
metal bands lurking underfoot. Locobazooka began as a local hick-town
(Worcester) celebration of Iroc-ing new metal. Now that such previous
participants as Limp Bizkit, Staind, and Godsmack rule the universe, it's
become a franchised traveling festival with an ingenious premise: grab as many
second-rate metal bands as you can and play the secondary (better yet,
tertiary) markets most better bands ignore. Sevendust, Filter,
Nonpoint, Mushroomhead, Gravity Kills, Reveille,
and more say hello to the Cumberland County Civic Center (207-775-3458) in
Augusta on Friday and to Singer Park (603-628-3597) in Manchester on Saturday. |
