Rob Zombie most often uses a movie theatre as the setting where his fans quake in fear and get all grossed out by torture and brutal murders and such.
If you're a diehard fan of '70s rock, the type whose vinyl stash starts with AC/DC and ends with those beardos from Texas, you can get a good sampling of the greatest decade for guitars right here.
Or you can just wait around in Vancouver for a bunch of concerts to hit town.
There's about a dozen dinosaurs heading this way, but they aren't all ready for extinction.
Live Nation has announced that British synthpop artist Charli XCX will perform at Venue Nightclub--with guests Kitten--on Friday, August 30, in support of True Romance.
Armed with dark and catchy pop songs and a growing legion of fans, Charli XCX (stage name of Charlotte Aitchison) is a sensation-in-the-making, with singles like "Stay Away'" and "Nuclear Seasons" creating buzz both on and off-line.

Live Nation has announced that American folk-rock singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson will play a show at the Commodore Ballroom--with guest Joshua Radin--on Sunday, September 22.
On Nathanson's latest album, Last of the Great Pretenders, the artist creates a cinematic atmosphere with songs such as the first single "Mission Bells".
Radin is a word-of-mouth success story whose big break occurred when a friend handed a demo featuring his first composition, "Winter", to a TV producer for the sitcom Scrubs. His songs have since been heard over on various TV shows, commercials, and films.
Live Nation has announced that Amercian singer-songwriter Sam Beam (aka Iron and Wine) will play a show at the Commodore Ballroom on Sunday, November 3, in support of his fifth studio alum, Ghost on Ghost.
For Ghost on Ghost, Beam sought to move from what he called the “anxious tension” of his two previous records, 2007's The Shepherd's Dog and 2011's Kiss Each Other Clean. “This record felt like a reward to myself after the way I went about making the last few,” he says.
Tickets for the show are priced at $38.50 (plus service charges and fees) and go on sale this Friday (June 21) at 10 a.m. on the Live Nation website.
Folk singer Jenny Owen Youngs joins the growing ranks of celebrities and public figures who have declared their sexual orientation.
The 31-year-old American singer-songwriter, who rose to fame when her single "Fuck Was I" was featured on the TV series Weeds, came out in a June 12 post on the appropriately titled Everyone Is Gay, an advice website for queer youth, during Music Week. Her fiancée, Kristin Russo, is a cofounder of the site and was part of her inspiration to come out.
Congratulations to Jenny on contributing to social progress.

Don’t say he’s not a man who enjoys subtlety.
Sure, naming your latest work Magna Carta Holy Grail doesn’t exactly scream modesty (though it’s not half as bad as Yeezus). Announcing said album with a commercial spot during Game 5 of the NBA finals might not either.
But Jay-Z’s 12th studio release, revealed via a television spot during last night’s Miami-San Antonio contest, included a surprise that was likely lost on the casual viewer.
Ritchie Blackmore released a new Blackmore's Night album last week, Dancer and the Moon, and it includes a tribute to his old Deep Purple bandmate Jon Lord—who passed away last year—called "Carry On... Jon".
Ever-intrepid Ping-Pong advocate, ace drummer-for-hire, and recent Georgia Straight cover star Dustin Bromley Instagrammed a photo of himself offering up autographs at Car Free Day this weekend.
"Set up my station at #carfreeyvr !!" he wrote alongside a shot of him sitting in a chair in the middle of the street with a pile of Straights on his lap.
Last week we ran a feature on Bromley and Michael Unger's DJ-amped Ping-Pong club nights and forays into the Chinatown Night Market. Glad to see Bromley working his newfound fame.
