Just fought through an epic case of the Mondays enough to post a couple new interviews on the front page - including Mike Kieran’s chat with Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness and an introduction to upstart California rockabilly outfit The Shankers - as well as a couple of reviews on the new Filter and Soilent Green CDs. Now I plan on fucking directly off. Thank you.

Last summer or something I tried to go down to UC Berkeley to see Dethklok of Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse perform a free show. We got there so early, there was no one online. That’s when we found out Berkeley is the best university ever, because it’s got a bar right there on campus. We ended up drinking a few pitchers of this strong, cloudy ale that completely demolished us, and by the time we stumbled out of the bar, the line was a mile long.

We waited all night, but didn’t get in. We also found out why Dethklok hates their fans so much, because a lot of the kids waiting in line were complete tools.

Now, Dethklok, the most brutal animated metal band on Earth, is ready to hit the road for reals. With actual tickets and everything.

The Dethklok tour will begin on June 2nd and run through early July. Tickets will range from $20 to $25, and Chimaira and Soilent Green will be in support. Full list of dates after the jump. (more…)
