Tues, May 17, Combichrist

Although we’re not getting a Rammstein date in Sacramento, its notable opening act, Combichrist, will fill the void. Fans of both the label Metropolis Records and, of course, quality industrial and dance should make sure their names are checked off at the door to avoid any unnecessary ridicule. The Monsters on Tour Part II tour dates include a bunch of headline shows in locales one wouldn’t expect. And while they may not fill the ever-so-busy Ace of Spades (a 900-capacity venue), expect a devoted legion of fans (and newbies) to join the party and make this rare event worth noting. 1417 R Street, www.combichrist.com.
