Just the other day a friend and I were talking about how Elias Soriano may be the coolest, most down-to-earth rockstar there is.

Hub City Favorites

There are certain bands that the Hub City "adopts".  Among those bands are people like In This Moment, Jackyl, Sevendust, Papa Roach, and yes, even Pantera before they became popular. I'm sure a lot of towns feel the way about these and other bands, but there's no denying that Lubbock folks have a passion for these bands. Nonpoint has been on our radar and our shows since we heard "What A Day" in 2001. From that point songs like "Bullet With A Name" and my personal favorite, "Miracle" really cemented the band as a force in Nu-Metal.

The Show

I believe that just Nonpoint all alone could sell out Jake's Backroom, but instead, you get a packed bill. (hed) P.E. and Dropout Kings round out what will no doubt be an amazingly intense night. It is billed as "The Million Watts" tour, and I think you will certainly feel the crackle of that kind of electricity in the air.

The Date

The show will happen on May 1st in Jake's Backroom. In case you're wondering, that is a Wednesday, so go ahead and file for that Personal Time Off at work for the next day. This show will kick off what we're calling "A Month of MAYhem" for reasons that should become apparent pretty soon. Tickets can be found on the J & B Productions website or at StubHub today by using the presale code MILLIONWATTS and physical tickets should arrive at Ralph's by Friday.
