I know a few DFW area 80s and metal fans that are going to LOVE this... 80s Metal at the Gas Monkey in Dallas!
With an 80s costume contest, several raffle drawings, and a few good metal bands, this sounds like a blast! To top it off, the entire night will be broadcast live by KNON.

This is for all you hardcore fans - tattoos, music, sideshows, and body suspension acts. Good music and over 300 of the world's top tattoo artists sounds like an interesting mix, but the body suspension stuff makes me queesy.
Friday, July 18, Deftones will headline, with The Casualties, Lower Class Brats, and Murder FM. I saw the Deftones a few years back, and unfortunately it was not a good show.
Saturday, July 19, Drowning Pool will headline, with 12 Stones, Crazy Town, Bridge to Grace, and more. I never got to see Drowning Pool with Dave Williams, but the newest lead singer Jasen Moreno is bringing high energy back to the band. After watching a few vids with him, especially how well he did on "Bodies", I plan to catch them the next time they're in Dallas.
Sunday, July 20 features Wu-Tang Clan, Snow Tha Product, Sheek Louch, and more.
Tickets for this 3 day event can be bought online at Ticketmaster, or save a few bucks by buying them directly from the El Paso County Colliseum box office.
