If once is not enough for you, how 'bout three times? That's right, Ministry and Meshuggah are playing three back-to-back shows this coming weekend at the HoB Sunset (find me there Friday, I will be wearing a black shirt and jeans). Appropriately titled 'C U LaTour,' this tour will be the last for Ministry; they are hanging up the old road dog boots. It's gonna be one hell of a show with Ministry capping it off with a two and a half hour set! Check this quote from Al Jourgensen:
"A Ministry tour is a traveling circus, When we roll into town, everyone hides their daughters, but the freaks roll out the red carpet and a friend or two pops up on stage to add some spice and mayhem to the show. We never know who's gonna walk through the dressing room door at sound check. We rehearse a bunch of 'extra' songs just in case so-and-so shows up..."Download: Ministry – "Let's Go" [MP3]

Remember Primus? You better! Well it may not be Primus, but it's a good chunk of them showing up Friday night at the Wiltern... And by 'good chunk,' I mean 'one'-- that is, the one and only Les Claypool. Now, he's done a ton of other projects besides Primus so I'm not sure what to expect; however, good musician + cool twangy voice = good show. On a sidenote, Les Claypool is doing what looks like a comedic take on the popular Rockumentary format with National Lampoon. Looks like someone is making fun of hippies!!! See the trailer for Electric Apricot – The Quest for Festeroo at Claypool's site. Oh Yeah! Let’s try that two word description thing again: Les Claypool = Frets Suck!
And on a quick note... Go get fuzzed out with Fu Manchu Saturday at the up-close-and-intimate Troubadour then cap the crustcake concert week off with some fancy footwork inspired by RJD2 on the ones and twos (man that was lame... or was it?). One more chance for the two word game! Are you getting sick of it? Fu Manchu = Bud Brothers; RJD2 = DJ Shadow??? Ooooooh, snap!
