Trail of Dead & Dethklok @ UCLA for Free Tomorrow
()
It shall be a metalocaplyse the day after all Hallows Eve.
Shredmasters And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead will invade UCLA tomorrow at 8pm with Adult Swim virtual band Dethklok.
Adult Swim sez:
Support for LAist comes from
Dethklok is the undisputed greatest animated metal band in the galaxy. Created by Brendan Small and Tommy Blacha, their crusades into darkness have been immortalized in Metalocalypse, the animated series available on Adult Swim. This college tour marks the band’s most epic journey where they shall emerge from the brackish pits of darkness to wipe the blood from their mighty axes.
Now LAist has seen an animated band before when The Gorillaz played behind a sheet at The Palladium, and it left us less than impressed because for all we know it coulda been the Lakers back there behind that sheet walking around as someone played the cd.That show we had to pay for, this one will be free.
Only catch, you gotta be a UCLA student.
No advance tickets will be sold, what you have to do is show up at Ackerman Hall tomorrow, have your school ID with ya, and get those devil horns ready to invoke the evil rock. Mwahahahaha.
Update: Yes we are being told you have to be a UCLA Bruin to enter the show.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
